Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Thermo Detector GIS12V-800-16 is a robust infrared spot thermometer engineered for professionals in HVAC, industrial maintenance, and renovation who require high-precision thermal monitoring in rugged environments. Its standout benefit is the combination of a 20:1 spot-to-distance ratio and a Type-K probe interface, allowing for accurate non-contact and contact temperature measurements; however, users should note that the device requires a separate purchase of 12V batteries or the AA1 adapter if they do not already own the Bosch 12V system.

FAQs

Does the GIS12V-800-16 come with a Type-K probe?

Yes, the device is designed to accept Type-K probes for direct contact measurements.

Can I use this for human body temperature?

No, this is a professional industrial tool and is not intended or calibrated for medical use or human temperature screening.

What does the 20:1 ratio mean?

It means at a distance of 20 inches from the target, the thermometer measures a spot diameter of 1 inch.

Is the device waterproof?

It is rated IP54, meaning it is protected against dust and water splashes, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.

Can I save images or data?

This model focuses on real-time visual monitoring on its graphical display; for advanced data logging, check the device settings for available export options.

Troubleshooting

Device is providing inaccurate readings on shiny metal surfaces

Infrared thermometers struggle with reflective materials; switch to the Type-K contact probe for accurate measurements on metal surfaces.

Display does not turn on

Check that the 12V battery is fully charged or that the AA batteries in the adapter are correctly seated and have sufficient power.

Laser guide is not visible

Ensure the laser function is enabled in the settings menu and that the unit is not in an extreme temperature environment that may affect the laser module.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rugged build quality with 2m drop resistance
  • Versatile measurement options via IR and Type-K probe
  • High-precision optics for accurate spot measurement
  • Flexible dual-power system
  • Clear, easy-to-read graphical interface

Cons

  • Does not include Bosch 12V battery in the base kit
  • Larger form factor compared to basic pocket thermometers
  • Requires specific training for optimal emissivity calibration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the device, first install the preferred power source—either a Bosch 12V Li-ion battery or the AA1 battery adapter. The device is fully compatible with all Bosch Professional 12V power tool batteries. For care, keep the infrared lens clean using only a soft, dry cloth; dust or fingerprints on the lens will compromise measurement accuracy. Ensure the Type-K probe port is kept free of debris by keeping the rubber cover closed when not in use. While the device features IP54 protection, it should not be submerged in water. Always store the unit in a dry, room-temperature environment when not in use to maintain calibration standards.
