INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments'
IRT105 6:1 Pocket Infrared Thermometer. Please read this
user's manual carefully and thoroughly before using the
instrument.
The IRT105 is a small and lightweight non-contact
thermometer that measures the surface temperature of an
object from a distance by using an IR sensor to measure its
thermal radiation. A laser pointer defines the target area
(spot) whose temperature is being measured.
The thermometer has a wide measurement range of -22° to
482°F (-30° to 250°C) and a distance-to-spot ratio of 6:1.
These two specifications—as well as its adjustable emissivity
and its high basic measurement accuracy (±3°F above 32°F)
—make the IRT105 ideally suited for applications in food
processing, electrical troubleshooting, and automotive and
HVAC equipment maintenance. In applications such as these,
an infrared thermometer is the only instrument capable of
taking the temperature of a surface that may be impossible to
reach or too hot or cold to touch.
The IRT105 comes in a blister pack with two non-
rechargeable CR2032 Lithium-ion batteries to power its
thermometer and laser pointer.
