Application
How it works
Temperature range
Working
Measure surface
temperature.
The temperature reading shows
on the display.
The user is informed of normal
or abnormal temperature read-
ings.
The measured temperature is
compared against the set tem-
perature threshold. If the reading
exceeds the threshold the user is
alerted.
Measuring Range:
+35 to +42 °C
Alert range:
+37 to +38 °C
Surface
Measure surface
temperature.
Example: food
The temperature reading shows
on the display.
Measuring Range:
0 to +50 °C
Count
Count every read-
ing.
Every successful measurement
increases the counter (n+1). The
counter is displayed.
