How to use infrared thermometer

How to use the infrared thermometer is as follows:

1. The thermometer will automatically turn on when the switch is pressed. At the same time, some thermometers will have a power-on button on the side. .

2. When measuring temperature, aim the temperature measuring instrument at the heating object or person, keep a certain distance, and then press the switch to measure the temperature.

3. Some thermometers have C and F temperature options. Press this button to select Celsius and Fahrenheit. The more commonly used one is Celsius, which is the C mark.

4. When specifically using an infrared thermometer to measure a person's temperature, you can point the thermometer at the person's forehead or wrist and press the switch.

5. Pay attention to the environment when using the thermometer. Using the thermometer in an environment with smoke, dust, etc. will affect the accuracy of the thermometer.

6. When measuring temperature, the thermometer can only measure the temperature of the surface of the object and cannot measure the internal temperature of the object.

Precautions for using infrared thermometer

1. When measuring the surface temperature of luminous objects, such as aluminum and stainless steel, the reflection on the surface will affect the reading of the thermometer. Before reading the temperature, you can place a tape on the metal surface. After the temperature is balanced, measure the temperature in the tape area.

2. If the thermometer can move back and forth from the kitchen to the refrigerated area and still provide accurate temperature measurements, it must be measured in the new environment after a period of time to reach temperature equilibrium. It is best to place the thermometer in a frequently used place.

3. Use a thermometer to read the internal temperature of liquid food, such as soup or sauce, which must be stirred, and then the surface temperature can be measured. Keep steam away from the thermometer to avoid contaminating the lens and causing incorrect readings.
