CD

Compact Disk. Also called a CD ROM, for CD Read-Only Memory. The CD supplied with the

 

Thermal Imager contains software and manuals.

Celsius

A temperature scale based on 0 °C as the freezing point of water and 100 °C as the boiling

 

point of water at a reference barometric pressure.

color palette, palette

A thermal image color scheme. Generally, black is the coldest and white is the hottest, but you

 

can choose the colors that represent the intermediate temperatures in the scale. Palette is one

 

of the Setup menu choices in the Thermal Imager: IRON, RAINBOW and GRAY.

detector

Also called “sensor,” the component that detects infrared radiation to determine temperatures.

 

The Thermal Imager’s detector is a microbolometer. (See “microbolometer” and “FPA.”)

detector, Infrared

A transducer element that converts incoming radiant infrared energy striking its surface into an

 

electrical signal.

directional keypad

The round group of arrow keys and center function key on the keypad.

display

The screen on the Thermal Imager that presents thermal or visual images and operating menu

 

choices.

emissivity (ε)

The ratio of infrared emitted by an object divided by infrared emitted from a blackbody at the

 

same temperature. The Thermal Imager allows you to select from a list of surface materials

 

to maximize accuracy of the temperature readings. This is called “adjustable emissivity.” (See

 

also “blackbody.”)

Fahrenheit

A temperature scale based on 32 °C as the freezing point of water and 212 °C as the boiling

 

point of water at a reference barometric pressure.

field of view (FOV)

Stated in angular degrees, the width and height of the area that the Thermal Imager senses all

 

incoming infrared energy to produce a thermal image.

This wide temperature range makes it incredibly versatile for various applications, including electrical diagnostics, HVAC maintenance, and automotive servicing. With its laser targeting system, users can pinpoint target areas accurately, enhancing measurement precision.

Another remarkable aspect is Milwaukee's True RMS technology. This ensures that the thermometer delivers accurate readings even in the presence of variable or distorted signals, a feature that professionals in the electrical field deeply appreciate. The device is equipped with a dual laser that not only aids in aiming but also offers a visual representation of the area being measured, making it easier to evaluate possible hot spots on surfaces.

The Milwaukee 2260-21 also boasts a backlit display, enabling visibility in low-light conditions. This feature is essential for professionals who often work in dimly lit environments, ensuring that temperature readings are clear and easily readable. Additionally, the display includes multiple measurement modes, allowing users to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius according to their preferences.

Ease of use is another characteristic that sets the Milwaukee 2260-21 apart. The simple interface includes a one-handed operation feature, making it facile for technicians to take readings while performing other tasks. The device is also built with durability in mind, featuring a rugged housing that can withstand the rigors of job site conditions.

In terms of battery life, the Milwaukee 2260-21 offers exceptional performance, allowing users to rely on the thermometer throughout the day without frequent changes. The tool also comes with a remanufactured battery system, reducing environmental impact while ensuring maximum efficiency.

Overall, the Milwaukee 2260-21 infrared thermometer is a blend of advanced technology, rugged design, and user-friendly features. Whether it’s for troubleshooting electrical problems, optimizing HVAC systems, or conducting routine maintenance checks, this tool is an invaluable asset for any professional looking to enhance their efficiency and accuracy in temperature measurement. Its reliability, precision, and user-oriented design make it a top choice in the industry.
