Frequently Asked Questions

How does the dual laser targeting system improve measurement accuracy?

The dual laser system projects two laser points that indicate the outer edges of the measurement area, allowing you to visualize exactly what surface area is being measured. This eliminates guesswork and ensures consistent targeting of specific components, improving measurement repeatability and reducing operator error compared to single-laser systems that only indicate the center point of the measurement area.

What does the IP65 rating mean in practical terms?

The IP65 rating means the UT309E is completely protected against dust ingress (the "6") and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction (the "5"). In practical terms, this means the thermometer can be used safely in dusty industrial environments and will continue to function reliably even in rainy conditions or when exposed to water spray during cleaning operations.

How does the monitoring measurement mode work?

In monitoring mode, the UT309E continuously scans the target area and sounds an alarm when the temperature exceeds user-defined high or low thresholds. This function is particularly valuable for detecting intermittent heating issues that might be missed during spot checks or for monitoring equipment during operational testing to identify temperature anomalies as they occur.

Can the UT309E be mounted on a tripod for extended monitoring?

Yes, the UT309E features a standard tripod mounting hole on the bottom of the handle. This allows for stable, hands-free operation during extended monitoring sessions or when precise, repeatable measurements are required from a fixed position. When combined with the trigger lock function, this provides a convenient setup for continuous measurement applications.

What is the advantage of the color EBTN display over standard LCD displays?

The color EBTN (Enhanced Black Twisted Nematic) display offers superior visibility in all lighting conditions from bright sunlight to dimly lit environments. The technology provides wider viewing angles, better contrast, and enhanced readability compared to standard LCD displays. Additionally, the color display allows for intuitive visual indicators such as color-coded temperature ranges and warning signals that are immediately recognizable during busy inspection routines.
