Congratulations on your purchase of Extech’s IR201A Pocket InfraRed Thermometer. This device is used to take non-contact temperature measurements simply by pointing the meter and pressing a button. This meter, with proper care, will provide years of safe reliable service.
Description
1 Infrared sensor 2 Laser Pointer 3 Measurement button 4 Laser button 5 MENU button 6 Battery compartment (rear) 7 LCD display 8 Lanyard attachment point
Setup
The Setup mode allows for setting: Max or Min display, °C or °F display, Emissivity value, Lock continuous mode, High alarm limit and Alarm On/Off. Enter the Setup mode by taking a measurement then press the MENU button to step through and adjust the features. Each press of the MENU button advances to the next feature.
1 Press the Measure button to turn the meter on. 2 Press the MENU button to step to the Max/Min selection. Press the
LASER button to set either MAX (blinking) or MIN (blinking) and then press and hold the Measure button to measure using the selection
3 Press the MENU button to step to the C/F selection. Press the
LASER button to set either C or F (blinking) and then press the Measure button to confirm the selection.
4 Press the MENU button to step to the Ems (emissivity) increase
selection. Press the LASER button to increase the ε (blinking) value and then press the Measure button to confirm the selection.
5 Press the MENU button to step to the Ems (emissivity) decrease
selection. Press the LASER button to decrease the ε (blinking) value and then press the Measure button to confirm the selection.
6 Press the MENU button to step to the LOCK selection. Press the
LASER button to set LOCK On and then Press & Hold the Measure button for two seconds to begin continuous measurements. Press the LASER button to cancel the LOCK mode.

IR Measurements
1. Point the meter toward the surface to be measured
2. Press and hold the MEASURE button. The meter will turn ON, “SCAN” will blink and the measured temperature will be displayed.
3. Release the MEASURE button and the last reading will be held (HOLD will appear) in the display for approximately 6 second and then the meter will turn off.
4. In the measure mode, press the LASER button to turn the laser pointer on or off.
Measurement considerations:
The thermometer must be acclimated to ambient temperature for
accurate measurements. Allow approximately 30 minutes acclimation time when the storage area and use area have a large temperature differential.
If known, adjust the emissivity value to match the emissivity of the
surface being measured. If unknown, use 0.95.
The surface measured should be cleaned of frost, dust or other
materials before accurate measurements can be made.
Recommended measuring distance is 2” to 36” (5cm to 91cm)  Apply black tape or paint to highly reflective surfaces to increase the
emissivity and improve the accuracy of the measurement.
The object being measured should be larger than the spot size as
illustrated in the distance to spot diagram.
