Metrix+ MT 2C Infrared Thermometer -50C to 380C IR Temperature Gun

A. Product Overview

The Metrix Plus MT 2C Infrared Thermometer is a portable digital temperature gun designed to measure the surface temperature of an object without touching it.

With a measuring range of minus 50°C to 380°C, the MT 2C covers both low temperature and moderately high temperature applications. This makes it useful for technicians who need one portable instrument for refrigeration, HVAC, electrical, automotive and general maintenance work.

Unlike a conventional contact thermometer, the MT 2C allows the operator to point the instrument toward a surface and obtain a temperature reading without attaching a probe.

Main Product Highlights

Brand: Metrix Plus
Model: MT 2C
Product Type: Infrared Thermometer
Instrument Type: IR Temperature Gun
Temperature Range: minus 50°C to 380°C

Its wide temperature range makes the MT 2C particularly useful for routine inspection work where both cold and hot surfaces need to be checked.

B. Working Principle

The Metrix Plus MT 2C Infrared Thermometer measures temperature using infrared radiation emitted naturally from the surface of an object.

All objects emit infrared energy according to their temperature. When an infrared thermometer is pointed toward a surface, its optical system detects this emitted infrared radiation.

The detected infrared energy is converted into an electrical signal by the internal sensing system. The instrument processes this signal and calculates the corresponding surface temperature.

The calculated temperature is then shown on the thermometer's display.

Because there is no physical contact between the instrument and the object, temperature can be checked quickly on surfaces that may be:

Hot
Cold
Moving
Difficult to access
Sensitive to physical contact
Unsafe to touch directly

Why Non Contact Measurement Is Useful

Traditional temperature measurement may require a probe to physically touch the surface.

An infrared thermometer eliminates this requirement. The user simply points the instrument toward the required surface and takes the measurement.

This makes infrared temperature guns particularly convenient for routine maintenance and troubleshooting.

C. Why Is the Metrix Plus MT 2C Used?

The Metrix Plus MT 2C is used when technicians require quick surface temperature measurements without making physical contact with the equipment or material.

HVAC Inspection

HVAC technicians can use an infrared thermometer for quick temperature checks on heating and cooling equipment during servicing and troubleshooting.

Refrigeration Maintenance

Its low temperature capability down to minus 50°C makes the MT 2C useful for checking cold surfaces in refrigeration related applications.

Electrical Maintenance

Maintenance personnel can perform surface temperature checks on electrical equipment to identify areas showing unusual temperature rise.

Motor Temperature Checking

The surface temperature of motors and machinery can be checked during routine maintenance.

Automotive Troubleshooting

Automotive technicians can use an IR temperature gun for quick temperature comparison across suitable engine and vehicle components.

Industrial Maintenance

The MT 2C provides maintenance teams with a portable method for checking machine and equipment surface temperatures.

Food Surface Temperature Checks

Infrared measurement can be used for rapid surface temperature screening in suitable food handling and storage applications.

It should be noted that an infrared thermometer measures surface temperature, not the internal temperature of food.

Quick Temperature Comparison

Technicians can inspect several components quickly and compare their surface temperatures to identify abnormal heating or cooling.
