Professional Infrared Thermometer
The Klein Tools IR1 is a non-contact digital thermometer designed for professional tradespeople and serious DIY users who need reliable surface temperature readings without physical contact. It combines a targeting laser with a backlit display for clear visibility in varied lighting conditions.
10:1 Distance-to-Spot Ratio
The optical resolution of 10:1 determines the measurement spot size relative to the distance from the target, making this the critical specification for deciding if the tool suits your working range. A fixed emissivity of 0.95 covers most common surfaces but cannot be adjusted for reflective metals.
Jobsites and Maintenance Tasks
This unit suits electricians, HVAC technicians and mechanics checking electrical panels, vents or machinery up to 752°F with 6.6 ft drop protection for durability. It is not intended for medical use on people or animals, nor for applications requiring adjustable emissivity settings.

Questions about this item
What does the 10:1 distance-to-spot ratio mean when I am taking a reading?
At a 10-inch distance the thermometer measures a 1-inch spot; at 20 inches it measures a 2-inch spot. The target must be at least that large for an accurate reading.
How does the fixed 0.95 emissivity affect the temperatures I see?
The thermometer assumes a surface emissivity of 0.95, which is accurate for most non-reflective materials. Shiny metals or glass will read lower than their true temperature.
What do I need to start using the IR1 right out of the box?
The package includes a 9 V battery and a custom pouch, so the unit is ready to operate immediately after removing it from the box.
