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 IR2000A, 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 IR2000A 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" (305 mm) from the IR2000A.
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 IR2000A 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 IR2000A 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 IR2000A 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.
