Klein Tools IR2000A Instruction Manual

ENGLISH
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 IR2000A 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 IR2000A 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 IR2000A has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio (see illustration below).
DIAMETER AT SPOT
.5" (13 mm) 1" (25 mm) 2" (51 mm) 4" (102 mm)

DISTANCE TO OBJECT
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Open the battery compartment by pulling the compartment lid at the
indentations, away from the trigger (see Thermometer Attributes section).
2. Remove and recycle exhausted batteries.
3. Replace 2 x AAA alkaline batteries observing the polarity indicated
on the inside markings.
4. Return compartment lid and make sure it locks into place.

CLEANING
Clean the instrument by using a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or solvents.
Take 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
in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the Specifications
section, allow the instrument to return to normal operating conditions before
using it.
DISPOSAL / RECYCLE
Do not place equipment and its accessories in the trash. Items
must be properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
