Chauvin Arnoux CA 1860 infrared thermometer content_copy

The non-contact thermometer from Chauvin Arnoux is a compact measuring instrument for non-contact temperature measurement, suitable for use in industrial environments, maintenance work, or in building technology. The device features an ergonomic, pistol-shaped handle that allows comfortable and secure operation with one hand. Measurement values are displayed on an illuminated LCD screen, ensuring readability even in poor lighting conditions. An integrated target laser serves to precisely mark the measurement area, enabling exact targeting of the measurement point.

Applications
This thermometer is suitable for applications where direct contact with the surface to be measured is not possible or desired. This includes, in particular, monitoring of machines, electrical installations, heating and ventilation systems, as well as testing of insulation or components in building technology. The robust design with protection rating IP65 makes it suitable for outdoor use or in damp environments, as it is protected against splashing water and dust. The drop resistance up to a fall height of 3 m increases reliability under mobile operating conditions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device offers a measurement range from -35 °C to +450 °C, with measurement accuracy from 0 °C being ± 1.8 °C or ± 1.8 % of the display reading (the higher value applies). Below 0 °C, the accuracy is ± (1.8 °C + 0.1 °C/°C). The optical resolution of 10:1 enables precise measurement even at greater distances, as the ratio of distance to measurement field diameter remains constant. The emissivity is fixed at 0.95, which is sufficient for many industrial surfaces. Various measurement functions are available: instant measurement, storage of maximum and minimum values, calculation of average value (AVG), differential measurement (DIF), and continuous measurement by locking the trigger. Additionally, adjustable alarm thresholds for exceeding or falling below limit values can be activated, triggering warning functions at critical temperatures.

Technology Explained Simply
The operation is based on infrared radiation emitted by every surface. The device receives this radiation and converts it into a temperature display. The optical resolution of 10:1 means that at a distance of 10 cm, the measurement field diameter is 1 cm. This ensures accurate measurement, even when the measurement point is not touched directly. The protection rating IP65 protects the device against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for use in environments with increased contamination risk or humidity. The drop resistance up to 3 m increases operational safety during mobile work.

Compatibility and Accessories
The thermometer is designed as a standalone measuring device and requires no additional components for operation. It is delivered with an operating manual explaining the functions and handling.

Mounting and Installation
The device is operated directly by hand and requires no mounting or installation. It is immediately ready for use as soon as it is removed from the packaging. Operation is performed via the trigger and the buttons on the device, which activate the various measurement functions.

Operational Advantages
The combination of compact design, high measurement accuracy, and robust construction makes the thermometer a reliable tool for technical inspections. The simple operation and integrated functions such as max/min value storage and alarm functions simplify daily work. The optical resolution of 10:1 and the protection rating IP65 increase flexibility for use in different environments. Continuous measurement by locking the trigger enables continuous monitoring without constant reactivation.
