- What is the RayTemp 28 used for?
- It measures surface temperature without contact, from -50 to 1370 °C. That suits hot equipment like kilns, furnaces, motors and bearings where touching the surface is unsafe.
- Does it come with a type K probe?
- No. The thermometer accepts external type K probes, but they are sold separately.
- How accurate is it on shiny metal?
- Infrared thermometers read emitted heat, and polished or reflective metals emit little. No emissivity setting is listed, so readings on bare shiny metal can be misleading; use a type K probe there.
- Can it measure very hot surfaces like a furnace?
- Yes, up to 1370 °C, which covers most furnace, kiln and foundry surfaces. Keep the lens within its rated ambient conditions.
- What do the dual lasers do?
- They mark the target area so you can aim at the right spot, which helps at a distance or on small components.
- Is it drop-proof or waterproof?
- The housing is rated IP54, so it resists dust and splashes. That is not the same as being waterproof or drop-rated.
