Raytek Raynger MX2 Infrared Thermometer

The non-contact Raytek Raynger MX2 infrared thermometer features an optically matched coaxial laser sight system designed to precisely and accurately outline the target measurement area. Improved optics (D:S 50:1) and a close focus lens permits temperature measurement of a 6mm spot at 300mm. The Raytek Raynger MX2 infrared thermometer's bar graph display automatically charts the last 10 temperature points using maximum and minimum temperature values to determine the range. The locking trigger allows continuous temperature monitoring.

The Raytek Raynger MX2 has a temperature range of -25 to 1600°F (-30 to 900°C).

Infrared thermometers from the Raytek Raynger MX2 Series have many applications. Use your Raynger MX2 infrared thermometer to check for hot spots in electrical panels, circuit breakers, generators, and gearboxes. You can also use it to monitor supply and return registers, air stratification, and duct leakage. Other applications include food preparation and storage, industrial predictive and preventative maintenance, icing and de-icing on planes and asphalt, cold storage and walk-in refrigeration applications, electrical bench work, and power distribution troubleshooting.

The Raytek DataTemp MX software is available as an option to this Raytek infrared thermometer. This graphing software enables the user to visualize, systematically maintain and analyze temperature data. The Raytek DataTemp MX software allows the user to organize, display, and print temperature and time data; store data points; record continuous or manual single-points; program time intervals, temperature scales and limits; customize log locations, and display both contact and infrared temperatures. The DataTemp MX software provides a convenient way to export temperature data files from your Raytek Raynger MX2 infrared thermometer in a format that can be used by programs such as Access®, Excel®, and condition monitoring programs.

Infrared Temperature Measurement - Technology Explained:

Infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance by detecting the amount of thermal electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object being measured. This allows users to accurately measure surface temperatures in hazardous or hard-to-reach places, or other situations in which non-contact temperature measurement is desirable. Infrared thermometer technology is useful in a wide range of applications – including industrial, laboratory, food service, fire fighting, hobby, and home use.

While the technology is relatively simple, the myriad of names given to these devices can be confusing. "Laser Thermometers" makes reference to the laser that helps aim the thermometer. "IR Sensors" and "IR Thermometers" make use of a common abbreviation for "infrared". "Non-Contact Thermometers" is descriptive of the device's ability to measure temperature from a distance. "Radiation Pyrometers" is a scientific/technical term for these devices.
