SpotOn Digital Thermal Inversion Tester - For Pesticide/Herbicide Application

The SpotOn® Inversion Tester is a precision instrument designed to detect low-level thermal inversions and measure air temperature at boom height, ensuring optimal conditions for pesticide and herbicide applications. Thermal inversions can trap chemical droplets near the ground, reducing effectiveness and increasing the risk of off-target drift. This tool provides clear, real-time feedback on inversion presence and intensity, helping users make informed decisions during spray operations.

Key Features:

• Inversion Detection: Displays “Inversion Present” or “No Inversion” with intensity shown in degrees, based on temperature measurements at 1-meter and 3-meter heights.

• Boom Height Temperature Measurement: Accurately measures air temperature at boom height to meet pesticide/herbicide label requirements.

• Radiation Shields: Minimizes errors caused by solar or ground thermal radiation, ensuring reliable temperature readings.

• Auto-Stabilization Detection: Automatically detects when temperature readings are stable for accurate results.

• NIST-Traceable Accuracy: Includes a certificate for temperature accuracy, ensuring reliable and standardized measurements.

• Backlit LCD Display: Enables operation in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or nighttime.

• Portable Design: Folds for easy transport and storage, and includes a convenient carry case.

Applications:

• Detecting thermal inversions to prevent chemical drift and ensure effective pesticide/herbicide application.

• Measuring air temperature at boom height for compliance with application guidelines.

• Optimizing spray operations in agricultural, horticultural, and turf management settings.
