Chauvin Arnoux CA 1862 infrared thermometer content_copy

The non-contact infrared thermometer from Chauvin Arnoux enables fast and precise temperature measurement from a distance. It is designed for industrial and technical applications where contactless measurement is required, such as monitoring machines, electrical installations, or heating systems. The device features an ergonomic, pistol-shaped handle that allows comfortable and secure one-handed operation. Measurement values are displayed on an illuminated LCD screen, ensuring good readability even in poor lighting conditions.

Applications
This thermometer is suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial and technical environments. It can be used to monitor motors, transformers, cable connections, radiators, or electronic components to detect overheating at an early stage. The optical resolution of 12:1 enables precise measurement even at greater distances, with the measurement point clearly defined. The robust construction with IP65 protection rating makes the device suitable for outdoor use or in damp environments, as it is splash-proof and dust-tight.

Functions and Features in Detail
A key feature is the dual target laser, which facilitates precise localization of the measurement point. The two laser beams mark the measurement area and help to accurately define the measurement surface. The adjustable emissivity setting from 0.1 to 1.0 allows adaptable measurement for different materials, as various surfaces emit different amounts of infrared radiation. Functions include instant measurement, storage of maximum and minimum values, calculation of average value (AVG), differential measurement (DIF), and the ability to hold the measurement continuously by blocking the trigger. Additionally, adjustable alarm thresholds are integrated, which trigger a warning function when predefined limits are exceeded or undershot.

Technology Explained Simply
Measurement is performed via the infrared radiation emitted by the surface being measured. The device detects this radiation and converts it into a temperature display. Measurement accuracy is ±1.8 °C or ±1.8 % of the reading from 0 °C, whichever is greater. Below 0 °C, accuracy is ±(1.8 °C + 0.1 °C/°C). The optical resolution of 12:1 means that at a distance of 12 cm, the measurement point has a diameter of 1 cm. This ensures precise measurement, even when the measurement point is not directly on the surface.

Compatibility and Accessories
The thermometer is designed for use in industrial environments and can be combined with various tools and systems requiring contactless temperature monitoring.

Mounting and Installation
The device is handheld and requires no mounting. It is held directly in the hand and aimed at the surface to be measured. Operation is performed using buttons on the device, which are designated for selecting measurement functions and settings. Results are displayed directly on the screen.

Operational Advantages
Contactless measurement protects the operator from injuries caused by hot or cold surfaces. The robust construction with drop resistance up to 3 m and IP65 protection rating ensures long service life even under harsh operating conditions. Adjustable alarms enable proactive monitoring and help detect potential damage early. The combination of precise measurement, easy operation, and high robustness makes the device a reliable tool for technical and industrial applications.
