Low-temperature infrared thermometer
The Sentry ST656 is a non-contact infrared thermometer built for low-temperature measurement tasks. It covers a range of -50 to 316 °C with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio and 0.1 °C resolution.
Suited for food, HVAC and lab checks
This instrument suits technicians checking food-processing surfaces, HVAC energy audits or science-experiment samples where contact probes are impractical. It is not suited for high-temperature industrial processes beyond 316 °C or for applications needing a narrower spot size than the 12:1 ratio provides.
12:1 distance-to-spot ratio
The 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio determines the measurement spot diameter at a given working distance and decides whether the thermometer can resolve the target area accurately.

Questions about this item
How loud is the ST656 when I use it continuously for HVAC audits?
The ST656 has no moving parts, so it runs silently during extended low-temperature scanning sessions.
What do I need to supply before the ST656 will take its first reading?
The unit requires a standard 9 V battery, which is not included in the box.
Will the ST656's 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio work alongside my older contact probe on the same duct?
Yes, the 12:1 optics let you measure from further away while the probe stays in contact, covering -50 °C to 316 °C without interference.
