WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

• Do not direct laser beam into eyes, as this can cause permanent

eye damage.

• Do not use the instrument if the case is damaged in any way.

• Replace the batteries as soon as low battery indicator appears.

• Have the instrument serviced immediately if it is acting abnormally.

• Be cautious of readings of reﬂective materials as they may be

indicated by the instrument as cooler than they actually are (see Emissivity section).

• Avoid using the instrument around strong electromagnetic ﬁelds.

• Do not apply voltage to the thermocouple probe.

SAFE PRACTICES

This instrument is designed for professionals who know the hazards associated with their trade. While this instrument offers no foreseeable dangers beyond its laser sight, the equipment you are servicing, as well as the environment you're working in, can be hazardous. These are a few common safety practices for those working around temperature critical environments:

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance procedures when

servicing equipment.

• Before using this instrument to determine if an area is safe to touch

or enter, verify your readings are reasonably accurate by comparison with known measurements.

• Properly maintain your infrared thermometer and calibrate

it regularly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Temperature Measurement

To take measurements with your IR2000, aim the instrument at the object to be measured and pull the trigger. The unit has an auto off after releasing the trigger of 60 seconds.

Targeting

The IR2000 features a dual laser to assist in targeting the area to be measured. The distance between the two lasers approximates the diameter of the circular spot focused on by the infrared sensor. This area will become larger as the target surface moves further away from gun (see Distance to Spot Ratio for more information). The approximation will be mostly accurate at a minimum distance of 12" from the IR2000.

Selecting Temperature Scale

Press the Down Key while in display mode or any measurement mode to alternate between Fahrenheit and Celsius. You can select either scale during or after measurement, and when viewing any of the held values.

Lock Mode (Auto-Scan)

In lock mode, the IR2000 will take measurements continously without holding down the trigger. The trigger can be held down to activate the laser, but is not required.

Auto Hold

The IR2000 will hold the last temperature measured for 60 seconds after the trigger is released. To recall this value or associated calculations press the MODE key to activate the display and show the held temperature.

In probe mode, the unit will automatically power off after 12 minutes. In auto-scan mode, the unit will automatically power off after 60 minutes.

Toggling Laser & Backlight

To toggle the laser, hold down the trigger and press the Down Key. To toggle the backlight, hold down the trigger and press the Up Key.

Thermocouple Probe Mode

The IR2000 can measure the temperature from a K-Type thermocouple probe. Press the mode key to enter Probe Mode. The measured temperature will automatically be displayed. To see the minimum or maximum temperature taken by the probe, press and hold the Down Button or Up Button, respectively.

The temperature being measured has exceeded the allowable range.

The temperature being measured is greater than the high alarm (HAL) setting or lower than the low alarm (LAL) setting.

Rapid changes in ambient temperature detected. Please wait a minimum of 30 minutes between large ambient temperature changes before use.

The ambient temperature has exceeded the allowable range. Any other error requires the thermometer to be reset. Turn off

the thermometer, remove the batteries, wait one minute, then reinsert the batteries.

OPERATION MODES

The IR2000 has several modes of operation. Press the "Mode" button to cycle through modes. The following chart shows the mode name, the screen identiﬁer, and the function of the auxiliary buttons in the mode.

EMISSIVITY

Emissivity is the relative ability of a surface to emit energy by radition. Each type of surface (metal, brick, wood, etc.) has a different emissivity level which must be accounted for when taking a measurement with an infrared thermometer.

The IR2000 has a variable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 which allows accurate measurement of most types of materials. Shiny bright surfaces (i.e. chrome, new copper, white boards) have a much lower emissivity than ﬂat black materials. The emissivity of the IR2000 should be set manually according to the chart below in order to obtain the most accurate measurements. The chart is for guidance only, as the emissivity of objects varies depending on surface ﬁnish, measurement wavelength, ﬁeld of view, temperature, and the shape of the object.

DISTANCE TO SPOT RATIO

GRAPHICS DRAWING NAME: IR2000-139672TART GRAPHICS PART NUMBER: 139672T ECN NUMBER.: 10943 PACKAGING DWG. REF.: NA Revision: A

The distance-to-spot ratio is a representation of how focused the IR sensor is on the measurement area. The closer you are to the surface you are measuring, the smaller the area of measurement is.

The IR2000 has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio. This means that if you are 12 feet away from an air vent, the vent should be 1 foot or less in diameter in order to resolve the most accurate measurement.

Below is an illustration of other example measurements.
