Review on 🌡️ Matrix MTM-302 Infrared Thermometer: Non-Contact Laser Temperature Gun -58°F to 1256°F (-50°C to 680°C) - Red and Black by Shawn Reiff

Requires calibration: test, measure and verify

It is easy to use and read. However, the "E" factors assigned to different materials need some calibration for a true temperature measurement. For example, setting a factor of 0.95 in the instructions, the water boils at around 95 degrees C. Reset E=90, and the water temperatures of 100 C boiling and forehead are the same as any other remote reading I have effects exposed. (Note that a laser is used here, so make sure people cover their eyes. BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT APPROVED FOR MEDICAL USE!) As with other devices of this type, the closer you are, the more accurate the readings are. .

Pros
  • Adjustable emissivity and temperature alarm
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
