5.1 Interval d'aplicació
The CK-DT-A sensor is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications involving non-metallic surfaces. Examples inclouen:

Important Note on Metallic Surfaces: This 8–14 mm long-wave temperature sensor does not perform well in measuring the temperature of shiny or polished metal objects. The metal surface must have a coating, paint, oxide layer, or high-temperature adhesive tape to achieve accurate measurement results. If direct measurement of shiny metals or red-hot objects is required, a short-wave temperature sensor is recommended, which can measure temperatures up to over 3500°C.
6. Precaucions
- This sensor is not suitable for direct measurement of bare metallic surfaces.
- Do not exceed the selected temperature range.
- Avoid aiming at fast-moving objects.
- Ensure correct wiring and proper grounding to prevent inaccurate readings or equipment damage.
- This product is intended for industrial use only.
- Do not use the sensor in explosive or flammable environments unless additional certification is provided.
- Incorrect wiring or improper installation may result in equipment damage or inaccurate measurement.
- Mantenir fora de l'abast dels nens.
7. Emmagatzematge i Manteniment
