INTRODUCTION
The RS 1327 hand-held Infrared Thermometer is easy to use and
operate. The thermometer has a laser to assist in sighting the sensor
for making measurements. The Liquid Crystal Display has a backlight
function which may be turned on to assist measurements made in a
dark place. Other features include reading auto-hold, auto power-off,
maximum and minimum readings, all of which can be selected for
maximum operating convenience.
The instrument does not rely on physical contact with the object
whose temperature is to be taken, but measures the radiated
infrared energy from the object. This allows temperature
measurements to be made of items such as rotating machinery,
bus-bars carrying electric current, or inaccessible objects which
would be difficult or hazardous to touch.
