Westward 1VEP5 Infrared Thermometer Single Dot Laser Adjustable 0.10
Infrared thermometer with single-dot laser sighting, adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00, and a -67 °F to 626 °F range
- TypeEnvironmental & Mechanical
- Adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 for accurate readings on varied surfaces
- Single dot laser sighting pinpoints the exact measurement spot
- Wide temperature range from -67 °F to 626 °F covers diverse applications
- 5 : 1 distance-to-spot ratio allows safe measurement from a distance
- Digital display alerts provide immediate visual feedback on readings
Purpose and User
The Westward 1VEP5 is an infrared thermometer built for non-contact temperature checks in electrical, HVAC and automotive tasks. It suits technicians who need quick surface readings without touching live components or moving parts.
Fit and Limits
This tool fits users who want adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 for different materials and a single-dot laser to mark the measurement spot. It is not for buyers who need a higher distance-to-spot ratio for distant targets or a wider temperature span beyond 626 Degrees F.
Range and Headroom
The meter reads from -67 Degrees F to 626 Degrees F with a 2.5:1 distance-to-spot ratio, covering most panel, duct and engine diagnostics. A Type K thermocouple input adds contact measurement when surface conditions exceed the infrared range.

Questions about this item
What type of K-type thermocouple probe do I need to use the secondary measuring method on the 1VEP5?
Any standard K-type thermocouple probe with a miniature connector will plug into the unit for contact temperature readings.
Will the 2.5:1 distance-to-spot ratio let me measure small components on a crowded circuit board?
At a typical working distance the measurement spot is relatively wide, so the thermometer is better suited to larger surfaces than to tiny board-level components.
How can I verify the laser sighting and emissivity settings are working correctly after setup?
Aim the single-dot laser at a surface of known emissivity, adjust the setting between 0.10 and 1.00, and confirm the displayed temperature matches the expected value.
