Hydro Axis Infrared Thermometer Gun
The Hydro Axis Infrared Thermometer Gun measures the surface temperature of whatever it is aimed at, without touching it. Point it at a leaf, the wall of a reservoir, a heat mat or a light fixture, click, and the reading appears on a backlit screen in Celsius or Fahrenheit. In practice that means quick spot checks across a whole grow space in the time it would take to set up a single probe, with nothing pressed against delicate foliage and nothing dipped into a nutrient solution.
Every surface gives off infrared energy in proportion to its temperature. The thermometer collects that energy and converts it into a reading, displaying up to 380 °C (716 °F). Its 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio describes how wide an area each reading averages: held 30 cm (12 in) away, it reads a spot about 2.5 cm (1 in) across. Moving closer narrows the reading onto a single leaf or fitting, while stepping back takes in a wider patch of canopy or bench. Data hold keeps the last reading on screen once the button is released, so a measurement taken at an awkward angle above the canopy or behind a reservoir can be read after the gun is lowered. An automatic power-off and a low-battery indicator look after the batteries between uses.
Like any infrared thermometer, it reads surfaces only and cannot see inside an object. A reading off the side of a tank describes the tank wall rather than the solution in the middle of it, so a submerged probe is still the tool for true solution temperature. Emissivity is fixed at 0.95, a setting that suits most matte and non-metallic surfaces such as foliage, growing media and plastic. Bright, polished metal and reflective films give off far less infrared energy than that setting assumes and will read low, so for a reflector or a foil-lined wall, aim at a matte label or a strip of masking tape on the surface instead. Taking readings at the same points each day, at the top of the canopy, mid-height and near the floor, builds a much clearer picture of how a room heats and cools than any single measurement.
