  • Accurate distance readings with 10:1 optical resolution
  • Wide -4 °F to 752 °F range covers many tasks
  • Laser targeting and backlit display simplify aiming
  • Fixed 0.95 emissivity gives consistent surface results
  • Survives 6.6 ft drops for jobsite durability

Professional temperature tool

The Klein Tools IR1 infrared thermometer measures surface temperatures from -4 to 752 degrees Fahrenheit without contact. A 10:1 distance-to-spot ratio lets electricians and technicians read HVAC ducts, electrical panels and motor housings from a safe working distance. The fixed emissivity of .95 suits most common building and industrial materials.

Pouch and batteries included

A custom pouch protects the unit during transport and storage. Batteries are supplied so the thermometer is ready for immediate use on the jobsite. The backlit display and laser targeting improve visibility in dim panels, while auto power off conserves battery life between measurements.

Simple point-and-shoot operation

Pull the trigger, aim the laser dot at the target and read the temperature on the backlit screen. The 6.6 foot drop rating helps the tool survive typical ladder or belt drops. Not intended for medical use on people or animals, and the fixed emissivity limits accuracy on highly reflective or very low-emissivity surfaces without tape or paint.

Questions about this item

How often will the batteries supplied with the IR1 need replacing under daily use?

The thermometer ships with batteries included and uses an auto power-off feature to extend their life; typical alkaline cells last several months with regular job-site use.

What is the smallest spot size the 10:1 distance-to-spot ratio can measure at a standard working distance?

At 10 inches away the IR1 measures a 1-inch diameter spot, so targets smaller than that will average in surrounding surface temperature.

How hot does the IR1 body get when left scanning continuously for hours?

The IR1 is a non-contact infrared sensor with no internal heating element, so the housing stays at ambient temperature during extended operation.
