- What surfaces can the PCE-675 measure?
- It measures surface temperature, not internal or core temperature. Point it at food, vents, motors or walls; it does not replace a probe thermometer for cooking.
- How accurate is it on shiny metal?
- Emissivity is fixed, so shiny or reflective surfaces read low. Use matte tape on metal or glass to get a closer reading.
- What battery does it take?
- One 9V battery (6LR61). The dual laser and backlight draw power, so keep a spare on hand.
- Can it measure very hot or very cold objects?
- No. Its range is -58 to 140 °F, so ovens, fryers and freezers fall outside it. Choose a wider-range IR gun for those.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The IP20 rating means it is not protected against dust or water, so keep it dry and away from splashes.
- Where is the PCE Infrared Digital Thermometer PCE-675 cheapest?
- At JB Tools, for $53.00, as of our latest check.
