Flir Extech TM300 Thermometer Specification

The Flir Extech TM300 is a versatile infrared thermometer designed for precise temperature measurements across a wide range of applications. It features a non-contact infrared sensor capable of measuring temperatures from -50°C to 650°C (-58°F to 1202°F), making it suitable for both industrial and domestic use. The thermometer boasts a distance-to-spot ratio of 12:1, allowing accurate readings from a safe distance. Equipped with a dual laser pointer, the TM300 enhances targeting accuracy by illuminating the measurement area for more precise results.

The device includes a K-type thermocouple input, expanding its functionality to include contact temperature measurements, which can be particularly useful for applications requiring surface contact readings. The TM300 features an adjustable emissivity setting ranging from 0.10 to 1.00, allowing it to compensate for different surface materials to ensure accurate temperature readings. It is equipped with a bright backlit LCD display, ensuring visibility in various lighting conditions, and offers a quick response time of less than 500 ms for efficient data collection.

The thermometer is powered by a 9V battery, providing sufficient energy for extended use in the field. It is designed with user-friendly controls for ease of operation, including a data hold function that allows users to freeze the current reading for later analysis. Additionally, the TM300 includes a min/max/average function to facilitate comprehensive data analysis. Compact and durable, the Flir Extech TM300 is engineered to withstand challenging environments, making it an essential tool for professionals requiring reliable and accurate temperature measurement capabilities.
