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 IR3000 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 IR3000 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 wave length, field of
view, temperature, and the shape of the object.

DISTANCE TO SPOT RATIO

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 IR3000 has a 30:1 distance-to-spot ratio

(see illustration below).

or solvents.

T

ake care to keep the sensor lens clean at all times. Clean the lens using a soft
cloth or cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol only, and allow the lens to
dry before use.

STORAGE

Remove the batteries when instrument is not in use for a prolonged period of
time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage

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 IR3000, 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 IR3000 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 30" (762 mm) from the IR3000.

Selecting Temperature Scale

5

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 IR3000 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 IR3000 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 IR3000 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.

a minimum of 30 minutes between large ambient temperature
changes before use.

EMISIVIDAD

La emisividad es la capacidad relativa de una superficie para emitir energía
por radiación. Cada tipo de superficie (de metal, ladrillo, madera, etc.) tiene
un nivel de emisividad diferente que se debe tener en cuenta a la hora de
tomar una medición con un termómetro infrarrojo.

El equipo IR3000 tiene una emisividad variable de 0,10 a 1,00 que hace
posible la medición precisa en la mayoría de los tipos de materiales. Las
superficies brillantes y lustrosas (como el cromo, cobre nuevo y placas
blancas) tienen una emisividad mucho más baja que los materiales de
color negro. Se debe configurar manualmente el valor de emisividad
del sensor IR3000 de acuerdo con el siguiente cuadro para obtener las
mediciones más precisas posibles. El cuadro servirá únicamente de
guía, dado que la emisividad de los objetos varía en función del acabado
de la superficie, la longitud de onda de medición, el campo de visión, la
temperatura y la forma del objeto.
