Non-Contact Thermometer for forehead
How does a non-contact thermometer work?
A non-contact thermometer has an infrared sensor at the tip which detects a human body’s temperature from a distance of 5-15 cm.
How to efficiently use it?
Ideally, the temperature should be measured from a distance of 5cm with steady hands. Just point a gun-shaped infrared non-contact thermometer at the person’s forehead and press the trigger button once. The temperature will be recorded in 1 second.

Difference between an industrial infrared thermometer & a medical infrared thermometer?
The main difference is that the human body’s emissivity is 0.98 and an object’s emissivity is 0.95. Therefore a different sensor is used for both of these applications. Therefore an industrial infrared thermometer can not measure the human body’s temperature accurately. So to measure fever you must use a non-contact thermometer designed especially for human bodies.
