FAQs
What is the optimal distance to hold the probe from the tyre?
For best results, hold the probe approximately 0.25 to 0.5 inches (6 to 12 mm) away from the tyre surface. Refer to the product manual for precise recommended distances.
Can this pyrometer measure internal tyre temperature?
No, this is a surface temperature pyrometer. It is designed to measure the temperature of the tyre's outer surface, not its internal temperature.
What type of batteries does the Intercomp Deluxe Pyrometer use?
The pyrometer typically uses standard AA batteries. Please consult your product manual for the exact battery type and number required.
How do I switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius?
There is usually a dedicated button or a setting within the menu to toggle between °F and °C. Refer to the device's user manual for specific instructions.
Is the probe easily replaceable if damaged?
Replacement probes may be available from Intercomp or authorized dealers. Contact customer support for availability and part numbers.
What is the warranty period for this pyrometer?
Warranty information varies. Please check the documentation included with your product or contact Intercomp directly for details on the warranty period and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Pyrometer not turning on
Check battery installation and orientation. Replace batteries if they are depleted.
Inaccurate temperature readings
Ensure the probe is aimed directly at the surface and is at the correct distance (refer to manual). Check for obstructions or dirt on the probe tip. Verify the correct operating mode and units are selected.
Display is dim or unreadable
Replace batteries as they may be low. Ensure the display is not obstructed.
Hold feature not working
Ensure the 'hold' button is being pressed correctly after obtaining a reading. Check the device manual for specific activation instructions.
Pros and Cons

- Provides highly accurate temperature measurements essential for race tuning.
- Fast response time allows for immediate feedback during performance runs.
- Hold function is valuable for capturing critical peak temperature data.
- Ergonomic design and coiled cord enhance usability during track events.
- Durable construction suitable for demanding motorsport environments.
Cons
- Primarily designed for motorsport, may be overkill for casual use.
- Requires user understanding of tyre temperature dynamics for effective use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the pyrometer is powered on by checking or inserting the required batteries (typically AA or similar, check device manual for specifics). Select the desired temperature units (°F or °C) and display increment (1° or 0.1°) using the device's buttons. Aim the probe at the surface to be measured, ensuring a clear line of sight without obstructions.
Compatibility: This pyrometer is designed to measure surface temperatures. Its primary application is with tyres in motorsport, but it can be used on other surfaces within its temperature range where accurate surface temperature is critical.
Care: After each use, allow the probe to cool down completely before storing. Clean the probe tip and the device body with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the device's electronics. Store the pyrometer in its protective case to prevent damage. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
