Infrared measuring instruments carry out non-contact temperature measurement, i.e. with no direct contact with the food. Optical sensors measure the thermal energy emitted by objects in the invisible infrared range and display the temperature.

Tips for measuring correctly

  • Do not stand too far away from the measurement object, otherwise the measurement object and also its surroundings will be measured

  • The measurement object should be larger than the distance between the two laser points

  • Adjust the measuring instrument to the ambient temperature: Observe acclimatisation time in a cool environment

  • For accurate measurement results: Surfaces should be clean (free of dirt, dust, etc.), product and packaging should have direct contact (no air inclusions)
