The Extech HD500 Psychrometer with IR Thermometer is a versatile 3-in-1 instrument that combines the functions of
humidity meters, Type K thermometers, and non-contact infrared thermometers. These functions,
combined into a rugged handheld housing, makes the Extech HD500 a great tool for
home inspection applications.
Extech HD500 psychrometers are capable of a number of temperature/humidity measurements. The
built-in infrared thermometer is for non-contact surface temperature measurements to 932°F (500°C).
The infrared thermometer has a 30:1 distance to target ratio. The type K temperature function
utilizes a type K probe for contact measurements up to 2501°F (1372°C). The HD500
also measures relative humidity with a range of 0 to 100%. Dew point and wet bulb measurements are
also possible.
