Chauvin Arnoux CA 1866 infrared thermometer content_copy

The non-contact infrared thermometer from Chauvin Arnoux is a precise measuring instrument for non-contact temperature measurement, particularly used in technical and industrial applications. The device features an ergonomic, pistol-shaped handle that enables safe and comfortable operation. An integrated target laser is used to precisely mark the measurement field, thereby increasing targeting accuracy during measurement. The measurement is performed non-contact via infrared radiation emitted from the surface of the object being measured.

Applications
This thermometer is suitable for a wide range of applications in industry and maintenance. These include quality control, diagnosis of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and detection of thermal anomalies. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring quick and contactless temperature determination, such as monitoring machines, electrical installations, or in production. The high optical resolution of 50:1 enables precise measurements even at greater distances, as the distance-to-measurement-field ratio is very favorable.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device offers an adjustable emissivity setting, which can be adapted to the specific material properties of the object being measured. This is crucial for measurement accuracy, as different materials emit varying amounts of infrared radiation. Additionally, the thermometer features a scanner function, allowing the object to be scanned and hot spots to be quickly identified. The Min/Max/Average and HOLD functions support documentation and analysis of measured values.

Technology Explained Simply
The optical resolution of 50:1 means that at a distance of 50 cm, the measurement field has a diameter of 1 cm. This ensures high measurement accuracy, especially for small or hard-to-reach surfaces. The device's accuracy is ± (1.5 % of display reading + 2 °C), which is sufficient for professional applications. The measurement range extends from -50 °C to +1000 °C, enabling broad application from cold to very hot surfaces.

Compatibility and Accessories
The thermometer is designed for use in industrial and technical environments. It is delivered with an operating manual explaining the functions and correct handling.

Mounting and Installation
The device is operated as a handheld unit and requires no mounting or installation. It is held directly in the hand and aimed at the object to be measured. Operation is performed via buttons on the device, which control the various functions.

Operational Advantages
The non-contact measurement enables fast and safe temperature determination, especially on hot or hard-to-reach surfaces. The adjustable alarm thresholds with warning function for over- or under-shooting allow early detection of overheating or cooling. The combination of wide measurement range, high optical resolution, and user-friendly operation makes the device a reliable tool for technical and industrial applications.
