INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments' IRT657
12:1 Wide Range Infrared Thermometer with Star Burst Laser
Targeting. Please read this user's manual carefully and thoroughly
before using the thermometer.
The IRT657 is a compact, non-contact (infrared) thermometer
with a 12:1 distance-to-spot (D:S) ratio and a wide measurement
range of -40° to 1076°F (-40° to 580°C). These two key
specifications make the IRT657 ideal for various applications,
a few of which are listed below.
Using this IR thermometer, the temperature of a target can easily
be measured from a distance. This makes it possible to safely
measure the temperature of very hot or cold surfaces, hard-to-
reach objects and toxic substances.
The IRT657 is especially suitable for the following four classes of
applications:
ELECTRICAL
• Checking the temperature of high-voltage equipment and
transformers from a safe distance
• Detecting excessive heating of motors, fuses, wires, insulators,
connectors, and switches
• Pinpointing hot spots in electrical connections and bearings
• Verifying temperatures of induction-heated parts
HVAC/R
• Monitoring food processing and storage temperatures
• Checking heating, AC and refrigeration system components
• Taking the temperature of forced hot air supply and return vents
• Testing chillers, steam traps and heat exchangers
