These features combine to give the ST8839 great flexibility and allow it to tackle the vast majority of temperature measurement applications.
This new model also boasts an impressive array of features, including maximum, minimum, differential and average readings.
High and low alarms are available to provide quick and easy hot and cold spot detection.
Other useful features include laser sighting, automatic data hold, over range indication, a trigger lock and backlit LCD display.
The high performance is not limited to the electronics with this new model, a very tight 50:1 field of view allows the ST8839 to measure even small or very distant targets.
Each unit is supplied with a hard carrying case for increased protection when in transit and when not in use.
These instruments are powered by a standard PP3 9V battery, and have an automatic power off function to help conserve power.
The ST8839 has a list price of just GBP135, making it almost unbelievably good value and a very attractive proposition for anyone looking for a handheld infrared thermometer.
