The new Phase iR is a compact, hand-held, infrared thermometer from The Brearley Group (Plate 7).

Plate 7 The Phase iR hand-held, non-contact, infrared thermometer from the Brearley Group can measure temperatures from ­40^oC to 510^oC without touching the object

The Phase iR makes use of the infrared radiation emitted by every object, using a set of optics and sensing element to detect this radiant energy and instantly displaying the corresponding temperature.

The thermometer uses advanced electronic technology to measure temperatures from ­40 to 510° C (­40^o to 950° F) without touching the object, and is easy to use. The user simply pushes the operating button which causes a red laser marker beam to be emitted for pinpoint aiming, even at small objects. Within 1.5 seconds, the temperature of the marked area comes up on the large, easy to read LCD backlit display. The reading is automatically held on the display when the button is released.

Using AA alkaline batteries, the Phase iR is compact and can easily be carried in a pocket, belt pouch or toolbox, for instant, fast temperature checks. It is considered to be an invaluable detection tool for preventative maintenance, service, production or process control operation, and even moving and odd shaped objects can be temperature checked from a distance, and in the case of packaged goods, without damage to product or packaging.
