The Elcometer 214 Infrared Thermometer is a simple, easy-to-use, battery powered thermometer which
safely and accurately measures surface temperature of non-reflective materials using infrared technology.
The Elcometer 214 Infrared Thermometer also displays the maximum temperature.
Infrared temperature measurement has been used successfully in aerospace laboratories as well as
manufacturing, maintenance and quality control processes for more than 30 years. Recent technological
advances have lowered costs and reduced sensor size, making non-contact infrared temperature
measuring instruments available to new users and applications.
The infrared system is made up of optics, detector and display. This instrument uses special optics to gather
infrared energy from a target surface and focuses this energy onto a detector. The detector then converts
the infrared energy into an electrical signal proportional to the temperature of the target surface. A digital
display of the temperature, in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit is produced in less than one second.
