The 6V6125 Infrared Thermometer (part of the 6V5000 Infrared Thermometer Group) is a hand-held battery operated instrument that can measure the temperature of any material at almost any distance - even targets out of reach, products too hot to handle, or continuously moving materials. The thermal energy radiated by every object is primarily emitted in the infrared spectrum. This infrared energy is directly related to the temperature of the object. The instrument measures this radiated infrared energy and computes the surface temperature of the object.
The 6V6125 Infrared Thermometer, which is available from Caterpillar, is greatly improved and has many advantages over the standard commercial infrared thermometers. Some of the improvements and advantages are: ... Power consumption has been decreased by approximately 80%. This will permit longer periods of usage without replacing the batteries.... The sight system was improved by the elimination of parallax and distortion.... Faster stabilization of the thermometer after large ambient temperature changes.... The 6V5000 group also includes a light (flood) for easy location of a target in areas with poor light conditions.
The principal application for the infrared thermometer is quick, easy, non-contact temperature comparisons; although the instrument can be used to measure absolute single temperatures. Some common applications of the infrared thermometer are: 1) To measure the temperature drop across a radiator or other heat exchangers; 2) locate overheated fluid in undercarriage components; 3) locate internal leaks or restrictions in hydraulic systems.
Special Instruction, Form SEHS8149 has complete instructions for the use of the 6V5000 Group.
