Professional Temperature Measurement Tool

The CEM DT-8828H is an infrared thermometer designed for electricians and technicians who need to measure surface temperatures without contact. It covers a wide range from -50.0 to 1000°C or -58.0 to 1832°F, making it suitable for high-heat industrial environments and electrical diagnostics.

Ergonomic Design With Laser Targeting

A unique flat housing fits comfortably in hand during extended use, while the built-in laser pointer helps identify the exact measurement spot. The 16 to 1 distance-to-spot ratio allows accurate readings of smaller areas from further away, and the backlit LCD ensures visibility in dimly lit panels or engine bays.

Advanced Data Logging Over Basic Guns

This unit replaces simpler thermometers that only show a live reading by adding Max, Min, DIF and AVG recording plus adjustable emissivity for different materials. High and low alarms alert you to out-of-range conditions instantly. It is not for users who require contact probes, humidity sensing or built-in data export to a PC.

Questions about this item

What does the 16:1 distance-to-spot ratio mean for the CEM DT-8828H?

It measures a spot one-sixteenth the distance away, so at 1.6 metres the measured area is about 100 millimetres across.

What physical items are missing from the box that I must supply myself?

The standard package excludes batteries, which must be purchased locally due to air-shipping restrictions on cells.

How do I set the emissivity on this thermometer, and what mistake do users make?

Use the adjustable emissivity setting to match the surface material; the common error is leaving it at the default value for all surfaces.
