Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your REED R2165 Thermal Imaging Camera.
Please read the following instructions carefully before using your instrument.
By following the steps outlined in this manual your meter will provide years
of reliable service.
Product Quality
This product has been manufactured in an ISO9001 facility and has been
calibrated during the manufacturing process to meet the stated product
specications. If a certicate of calibration is required please contact the
nearest authorized REED distributor or authorized Service Center. Please
note an additional fee for this service will apply.
Safety
• Never attempt to repair or modify your instrument. Dismantling your
product, other than for the purpose of replacing batteries, may cause
damage that will not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
Servicing should only be provided by an authorized service center.
• Do not point the thermal imager (with or without the lens cover) at
intensive energy sources as this can damage the thermal imager.
•
Do not use the thermal imager in a temperature higher than 122°F (50°C).
• Always charge the battery between 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and a diluted soap solution.
• Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the
instrument, lens or screen.

• Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously, this can damage the
anti-reective coating.
• Store the thermal imager in cool and dry environment.
• Please use the correct emissivity to obtain accurate
temperature measurements.
• To ensure accuracy, please let the instrument warm up for 10 minutes
before taking a measurement if it has not been used for a long time.
• When being charged, the internal temperature of the product will
rise, which will lead to inaccurate temperature measurement, it is not
recommendedto take measurements during or right after charging
the instrument.

Emissivity
This thermal imager measures infrared energy from the surface of the
object and uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Surfaces that are good at radiating energy (high emissivity), the emissivity
factor is ≥0.90. Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals are not good at
radiating energy (low emissivity) have an emissivity of <0.6. To more
accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity correction
is necessary. Emissivity is set directly as a value or from a list of emissivity
values for some common materials.
The following table gives typical emissivity of some materials:
Material Emissivity
Asphalt 0.95
Concrete 0.95
Hard plaster 0.90
Wood (natural) 0.93
Lime Stone 0.98
Ballast chipping 0.95
Paper (every color) 0.95
Plastics non lm 0.95
Tissue (fabric) 0.95
Sand 0.90
Glass wool 0.90
Melted asphalt 0.93
Screed/pavement 0.93
Foamed polystyrene 0.94

Drywall 0.95
