The photographic Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer combines temperature measurement and digital photography. The Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer can instantly capture a real-time image of an object being measured while simultaneously and automatically recording the location, temperature, date, and time the measurements were taken. The image and measurement information can then be easily downloaded from the Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer into a computer for review and analysis and visually document the results of maintenance inspections.

All you have to do is aim the Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer, which features the True Dimension laser sighting system, at the object you want to measure and pull the trigger. When the trigger is released, the Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer takes a digital photograph and stores it along with the temperature data in the memory.

Up to 100 locations along an inspection route can be stored in the Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer. The location, date, and time the temperature and photograph were taken are recorded onto each image. That information will then appear on each photograph for perfect documentation of the items measured and recorded.

The temperature range of the Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer is -25 to 1600°F, and the close focus option allows you to measure objects as small as .24 inches from 11.4 inches away. The Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer includes a built-in flash unit that is automatically activated when a photo is attempted in a low light situation.

The Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer is powered through the USB cable when connected to a computer. With the DataTemp® MX software, you can download all the data and photos you stored in the Raytek PhotoTemp MX6 infrared thermometer onto a computer. Once its in the computer, the inspection data can be viewed in a thumbnail photo or in tabular format. You can easily share, email, or create reports for later reference or presentation to others by importing the inspection data and pasting the photos into standard file formats such as Excel or Access.

The Raytek Raynger MX4+ infrared thermometer has many applications: check for hot spots in electrical panels, circuit breakers, generators, and gearboxes. You can also use the Raynger MX4+ to monitor supply and return registers, air stratification, and duct leakage. Other applications include food preparation and storage, industrial predictive and preventative maintenance, icing and de-icing on planes and asphalt, cold storage and walk-in refrigeration applications, electrical bench work, and power distribution troubleshooting.
