| | Features The IR-101 provides easy, contact-free temperature measurement: For hard-to-reach and inaccessible locations. On and inside buildings (heating and cooling loss, cold spots in a house) For foodstuffs (no transfer of germs or opening of packaging) On hot components (engines and other machinery, motorsports, model construction) For heating and sanitation applications (e.g., heat lost) For engineering (how hot is your CPU cooler getting?) For cooking (is the griddle, waffle iron or pizza stone up to temperature yet?) Note: The IR-101 is preset for an emission factor of 0.95. Most surfaces have an emission factor of 0.8 to 0.98 (the darker and less reflective the surface, the greater the emission factor). Please be aware that infrared thermometers are not suitable for measuring the temperature of polished metals, which have a very low emission factor. Affixing adhesive tape to polished metals, or painting them, increases the emission factor and reduces the inaccuracy of the measurement. Also, infrared thermometers cannot be used to measure the temperature of transparent objects or air temperature
