8. How it Works
Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature
of an object. The unit´s optics sense emitted, reflected
and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused
onto a detector. The unit´s electronics translate the
information into a temperature reading which is display

aiming purposes only.

Batteries, which contain harmful
substances, are marked with the
symbol of a crossed-out waste bin,
similar to the illustration shown left.
Under the waste bin symbol is the
chemical symbol for the harmful
substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium,
„Pb“ stands for lead and „Hg“ for
mercury.
