Quick Facts — AFK-YK001 Infrared thermometer
- Model: AFK-YK001
- Type: Infrared non-contact thermometer
- Measuring range: 32 ° C - 42.5 ° C
- Accuracy: +-0.3 ° C
- Measuring distance: 3cm-5cm
- Memory: 46 readings
The AFK-YK001 infrared non-contact thermometer measures body temperature at the forehead and surface temperatures such as engines and tyres within a range of 32 ° C - 42.5 ° C. A reading takes 1-2 sec and appears on a large backlit LCD.
The display shows the temperature in figures and with a background colour: green for normal temperature, orange for slightly raised and red for high temperature. An alarm sounds above 37.4 ºC, and the beeps can be switched off.
When does infrared thermometer AFK-YK001 make the most sense?
The thermometer makes the most sense when temperature must be read quickly and without contact, both for health checks and for surface temperature measurement. Measuring takes place at 3cm-5cm distance and the result appears after 2 seconds. At a distance over 5cm the display shows "0-5" and the measurement is repeated.
The instrument stores the latest 46 readings, switches off automatically after 15 seconds and shows values in °C or °F.
Applications for infrared thermometer AFK-YK001

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is infrared thermometer AFK-YK001 suitable for measuring engine temperatures above 42.5 °C?
No. The measuring range of the AFK-YK001 is 32 ° C - 42.5 ° C, so higher surface temperatures fall outside it. The surface temperature function is intended for values within this range.
What distance gives a correct reading with infrared thermometer AFK-YK001?
The measuring distance is 3cm-5cm. At a distance over 5cm the display shows "0-5" and the measurement is repeated. Accuracy is +-0.3 ° C.
How does infrared thermometer AFK-YK001 differ from other thermometers?
The AFK-YK001 measures without contact using infrared technology and shows the result after 2 seconds. It has a colour-coded display in green, orange and red, memory for 46 readings and a function for surface temperatures such as tyres.
