When your job calls for leading edge temperature measurement technology, 3M provides the solution with the family
of 3M
™
Infrared Thermometers. These units provide a fast, easy and accurate way to measure a wide range of tempera-
tures at a safe distance. You can monitor equipment more closely, more accurately, and more often — and spot trouble
before it leads to costly malfunction and repair.
Does your job require NIST or DKD compliance? Be sure to order your IR-999, IR-1100, IR-1400, IR-60L2, or IR-60EXPL2 with
certifi cation (NIST or DKD).

3 Dot laser
The 3 Point laser defi nes the diameter of the area being measured; a single laser
spot shows the center of the measurement area.
