Contactless infrared forehead thermometer detects COVID-19 coronavirus high temperature symptoms.
With one of the main symptoms of coronavirus being a high temperature or fever, the ability to quickly, easily and safely measure people’s temperature is a key factor in reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Our range of Non-contact Infrared Forehead Thermometers provide a non-contact solution to quickly measure body temperature, whilst promoting safe social distancing practices.
Ideal for checking family members, staff, visitors and customers before they enter the building, this professional infrared thermometer allows up to 15cm contactless distancing from the subject to be tested and, with a one-click trigger, will provide an immediate and accurate current temperature reading.
The Elma 609 infrared thermometer has two measuring ranges; body temperature of 32°C ~ 42.5°C – and object surface temperature of 0°C ~ 60°C and meets relevant medical standards such as EN 980, EN1401, EN6060-1, EN 60601-1-2 and ASTM E1965-1998.
Main Features:
- Non-contact temperature measurement
- Measures high body temperature – a main symptom of Coronavirus
- Two temperature ranges – body and object surface
- Battery operated
- 32 measurement storage memory
- Alarm limit setting
- Illuminated display
- Automatic data hold

How can a non-contact thermometer help stop the spread of coronavirus?
Whilst in the current lockdown phase, many businesses who have had to close, reduce or alter their services are starting to plan for what life will be like in the ‘new normal’ when the lockdown begins to ease.
A number of organisations, such as Amazon, have begun to use temperature checks to screen employees at work. As a raised temperature (of 38C or more) is one of the predominant early symptoms of Covid-19, temperature checks can be used to help detect early cases of the disease.
It’s important that these checks take place as part of a wider screening and management process, as a high temperature may not be present in those with asymptomatic or mild cases, or for people still in the incubation period. Businesses should continue to ensure that other measures are being adhered to, such as the 2m social distancing, regular handwashing and covering of the mouth when coughing. Other initiatives such as enhanced cleaning can help to stop the spread of the virus in a workplace.
However, with no definitive way to tell if an employee is sick on their arrival at work, the use of infrared thermometers provides a valuable method of detecting additional cases of the virus and helping to maintain the safety of those within the workplace.
How does a non contact infrared thermometer work?
All matter with a temperature above zero – including humans – emits a form of thermal radiation. These thermometers use infrared energy to detect the radiation emitted from a person or object and take a reading of the surface temperature.
How do I check my temperature with an infrared thermometer?
To use the thermometer, simply aim it at the surface to be measured and use the one-click button to take a reading.
For an accurate reading, leave the device to adjust to the room temperature for around 15 minutes, and ensure that the surface to be measured isn’t shiny – for example a damp forehead.
What are the benefits of a non-contact thermometer?
Compared to other widely available devices such as digital thermometers or digital in-ear thermometers; non-contact infrared thermometers have several benefits for use in the workplace:
- Reduced operational time – these thermometers provide a quick reading at the click of a button, compared to digital thermometers which take several seconds to measure a temperature. This makes the screening of larger groups of employees feasible and reduces the level of disruption required.
- No disposable materials required – unlike the disposable covers needed to operate digital in-ear thermometers
- Lowered infection risk – As the thermometer is contactless, multiple temperatures can be taken by the same operator with no need for disinfecting the device between each reading. This is an advantage over digital thermometers placed in the mouth, which would need to be disinfected thoroughly between each reading, or a separate device would be required for each employee.
Are non-contact thermometers accurate?
Non-contact infrared thermometers are gaining popularity in clinical settings, where they’re used as a reliable, comfortable and quick way of measuring temperature. Various studies have shown them to have a high level of accuracy when compared to other types of thermometers.
