ATD 701 Infrared Laser Thermometer

With a broader temperature range than other infrared laser thermometers, this infrared thermometer with laser by ATD, offers a temperature range of -76° F to 1,022° F. This temperature gun offers laser targeting accuracy, enhanced back-lit LCD display and a highly expanded temperature range. Also, this ATD 701 infrared laser thermometer comes with a carrying case and a 9V battery.

The use of laser in this infrared thermometer with laser is different. It has a laser that it can (optionally) shoot out for aiming purposes. It measures the area where it's laser pointer points. The diameter of this laser pointer is one twelfth the distance away from the measuring gun.

ATD 701 infrared laser thermometer picks up radiation from that being measured and calculates its black-body radiation temperature (Hope there is some memory of physics classes). The advantage here with this thermometer is that it will work even if one can't see the glow in the infrared. Now that is some thing new!

Another great about it is that it's non-contact feature. The user just has to point and look at the screen for the temperature and this device works wonderfully at it. One also can hold down the trigger and "wave" it around measuring the temperature of an area, perhaps looking for a hot-spot or cold-spot.

The main features of this infrared thermometer with laser are the adjustable emissivity, the 12:1 distance to spot ratio and the very good white backlit display. Even the scan function is nice and interesting. One can hold the trigger button while moving the unit around to get a continuous temperature reading. In short, it's a great device to find hot or drafty spots. Also, the High/Low alarm is a new benefit that one will get with ATD 701 infrared laser thermometer; that is the unit beeps if the measured temperature is either higher or lower than a set threshold. The manual with this device is also very useful. It lists all the features and how to use them. The package also includes a leather pouch with a handy belt loop.

Even the appearance of the device is good enough for usage. The thermometer grip and trigger are made of a nice soft rubber-like material instead of cheap plastic. That means, the user even has comfort to the hands. The device is also quite accurate. Even if it is dropped a couple of times, there is no need to worry as the whole of it will remain intact like it was before.

Also, ATD infrared thermometer with laser has the ability to assess temperature of all objects and stuff. This device has features to take accurate temperatures on all surfaces with its ability to adjust for variances such as reflection and texture, while keeping operation very simple.

Crossing all the infrared laser thermometers in the market, this device possess a combination of simplicity as well as complexity; that is simplicity in terms of usage and complexity in terms of all the complex objects on which this temperature gun can be used. So, this goes for all the thermometer savvy people, try it once and benefit forever from it.
