Frequently Asked Questions
How does the UT305C+ maintain accuracy at extreme temperatures?
The UT305C+ utilizes advanced infrared sensing technology with specialized high-temperature calibration and premium detector components that enable accurate measurements across its entire range. The instrument undergoes rigorous testing and calibration against traceable standards at multiple temperature points to ensure reliability even at the highest temperatures.
What is the advantage of the 55:1 distance-to-spot ratio?
The enhanced 55:1 ratio allows you to measure a smaller area from a greater distance compared to standard infrared thermometers. For example, from 55 feet away, you're measuring a spot that's only 1 foot in diameter. This enables more precise measurements from safer distances when working with extremely hot or hazardous materials.
How should I select the proper emissivity setting for different materials?
The UT305C+ includes a comprehensive emissivity table in the user manual for common materials. For the most accurate results with unknown materials, you can use the comparative technique: measure the material with a contact thermometer, then adjust the emissivity setting until the infrared reading matches the known temperature.
Can the UT305C+ be used for continuous monitoring?
While designed primarily for spot checking, the UT305C+ can be used for short-term monitoring by utilizing its MAX/MIN functions to track temperature variations over time. For continuous 24/7 monitoring, UNI-T offers fixed-mount infrared temperature sensors specifically designed for permanent installation.
Is this thermometer suitable for measuring reflective metal surfaces?
Highly polished or reflective metals can be challenging for any infrared thermometer due to their low emissivity. For best results when measuring reflective metals with the UT305C+, either apply a small piece of masking tape to the surface (and measure the tape), or utilize the adjustable emissivity setting with values appropriate for the specific metal being measured (typically 0.10-0.30).
How does the TFT display benefit industrial users?
The 2.4-inch TFT display provides superior visibility in various lighting conditions common in industrial environments. The high-resolution color screen makes it easier to read measurements from different angles, displays multiple data points simultaneously, and uses color coding for alarm conditions, all contributing to improved efficiency and safety in demanding industrial settings.
