The Industrial IR Gun delivers quick, reliable surface temperature checks without contact. Point at the target, pull the trigger, and get a clear reading without hesitation—no probes, no contact, and no risk from hot or hard-to-reach surfaces. A bright laser pointer marks exactly where you're measuring, and a backlit display keeps readings clear in any lighting.

Measure accurately from further away with a 12:1 distance-to-target ratio that maintains precision, while adjustable emissivity adapts to different surface materials. Built-in Max/Min tracking captures temperature extremes as you scan, while high/low alarms flag problem areas immediately. Check pizza stones and griddles, diagnose cold drafts, identify overheating appliances, or find uneven heating throughout the house.

  • Read Temperatures Instantly: Measure oven, grill, pan, and more surface temps in about 1 second — no probes, no contact, no waiting.
  • Handle Hot or Cold Extremes: Reads from –76°F to 1022°F (–60°C to 550°C) for cooking, HVAC, and everything in between.
  • Stay Precise From a Distance: 12:1 optics measure a 1-inch spot from 12 inches away, within ±2.7°F accuracy.
  • Know Exactly What You’re Measuring: A bright single-laser pointer marks the target so you’re never guessing.
  • Get Accurate Reads on Any Surface: Adjustable emissivity (0.1–1.0) tunes readings for cast iron, stainless steel, stone, tile, and more.
  • Find Hot Spots and Cold Zones: Max/Min tracking and high/low alarms flag temperature extremes as you scan.
  • See Clearly in Any Light: Backlit display stays readable in dim kitchens, garages, basements, or outdoors.
  • Point, Pull, Done: Trigger reads the temperature; release holds the value on screen. No menus, no modes.
  • Grab It and Go: Lightweight, portable design for quick checks around the kitchen, house, or yard.
  • Ready Out of the Box: Two AAA batteries included — no hunting for power before your first reading.
