Infrared thermometers are temperature sensing devices that use electromagnetic radiation to make non-contact surface temperature readings. This allows for fast, touchless measurements from a safe distance
When using a noncontact infrared thermometer, how and where it is used may affect the measurement.
-
Head coverings, the ambient environment and the reading location on the forehead can all affect results.
-
Best practice is to leave your thermometer in the testing environment for at least 10 minutes prior to use so it can adjust to the environment.
-
It should be free of air drafts, out of direct sunlight and away from radiant heat sources.
-
Make sure the subject is ready to be tested by making sure that the test area of the forehead is clean, dry and unobstructed.
-
Verify that the temperature of the person's forehead has not been influenced by wearing excessive clothing or head covers, or by using facial cleansing products like cosmetic wipes.
-
Any outside influence on a person's forehead temperature prior to testing will skew your measurements when taking measurements.
-
The measurement distance from the subject is different for every infrared thermometer.
-
To correctly take a measurement, place your forehead perpendicular to the the device.
-
Do not talk or move body during measurement.
-
If outdoors, make sure the device and the subject is out of direct sunlight. Failure to do so will also result in incorrect readings.
