1250C Dual Contact & Infrared Thermometer ( HTC – IRX-65 )

Description

The HTC IRX‑65 Industrial Infrared Thermometer blends advanced dual-mode sensing technology with rugged field-ready design to deliver precise temperature measurement. Ideal for professionals in food preparation, plastic molding, HVAC, automotive diagnostics, preventive maintenance, and thermal process control, this instrument combines the safety of non-contact IR measurement with the versatility of Type‑K direct-contact probe input.

With a broad infrared (IR) measurement range from −50 °C up to 1250 °C (−58 °F to 2282 °F), and Type‑K probe range extending to 1370 °C (2498 °F), it accommodates both surface and deep thermal readings. IR measurement accuracy is rated as ±4 °C for temperatures below 0 °C, ±1.5% ±2 °C for 0–500 °C, and ±2.0% ±2 °C above 500 °C. Probe mode offers ±1.5% ±1 °C accuracy across its entire span, ensuring reliable readings for both IR surfaces and direct-contact scenarios.

Featuring an optical distance-to-spot ratio of 30:1, the IRX‑65 allows safe, accurate scanning from a distance, minimizing contact risks. Its adjustable emissivity (0.10–1.0) and spectral response of 8–14 µm allow fine-tuned accuracy across different surface types—from painted metals and plastics to ceramics and asphalt.

The instrument is notable for its fast response time (<250 ms) and high-resolution display (0.1 °C/°F under 1000 °C; 1° above), enabling swift and detailed temperature readings. An easy-to-read backlit LCD display clearly shows measurements, while a built-in round laser pointer enhances targeting precision.

User-centric features include °C / °F selection, automatic data-hold, MAX/MIN/DIF/AVG record modes, and a trigger-lock function for continuous scanning. Adjustable high/low alarms and automatic range detection support thorough monitoring and safety compliance. The device also includes a 12-point rec-datalogger function for quick data logging during routine checks.

Safety and reliability are built in. The laser output conforms to Class‑2 (<1 mW, 630‑670 nm) standards, and the input port includes over-voltage protection to prevent misuse. The IRX‑65 automatically powers off after 35 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life. It features polarity display, over-range indication (‘LO’/‘HI’), and a low battery indicator on the display.

Ergonomically designed for handheld use, the IRX‑65 weighs approximately 275 g and measures 192 × 95 × 83 mm, making it compact and easy to operate with one hand. Powered by a standard 9 V battery, it is robust enough for field use and light enough for daily carry in toolkits.

The IRX‑65 is delivered with standard accessories: a soft carrying case, Type‑K bead‑probe, carry hook, battery, and user manual—ensuring immediate deployment for inspections or testing.

Its dual-mode design provides flexibility for diverse applications:

• Non-contact surface diagnostics such as motor housings, pipe lines, conveyors, or hot spots in electrical panels

• Contact measurements using the Type‑K probe for deep or irregular surfaces, food items, liquids, or solids

• Preventive maintenance and safety checks via high/low alarm thresholds and MAX/MIN trend tracking

• Data-intensive inspections with on‑board logging and averaging capabilities for process documentation

Features like emissivity adjustment, infrared coverage up to 1250 °C, contact reading up to 1370 °C, trigger lock, alarm thresholds, fast response, and robust display make the IRX‑65 a well-rounded digital thermometer for professionals needing accuracy, speed, and adaptability.

In summary, the HTC IRX‑65 Infrared Thermometer offers:

• Dual infrared and contact temperature sensing

• Wide measurement range (IR: –50 to 1250 °C; TK: up to 1370 °C)

• Precision targeting with 30:1 optics and laser pointer
