Extech IR270-NIST Color Alert IR Thermometer with Calibration

The Extech IR270-NIST is a professional-grade infrared thermometer designed for accurate, non-contact temperature measurement across a wide range of applications. It provides quick readings without physical contact, making it ideal for environments where surface temperature checks must be done safely and efficiently.

Equipped with a built-in laser pointer, the IR270-NIST ensures accurate targeting of measurement areas. Its adjustable emissivity feature enhances precision by allowing adaptation to different material surfaces. The unit offers a wide temperature range from -4 to 1202°F (-20 to 650°C), and features a high-resolution, tri-color LCD display that visually alerts users when readings fall outside set thresholds.

Whether you’re in HVAC, electrical diagnostics, food safety, or industrial maintenance, the IR270-NIST delivers reliability and compliance, thanks to its included NIST calibration.

What's Included:

• 1 - 9V Battery
• 1 - Pouch
