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 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.
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.

Temperature Measurement
To take measurements with your IR1000, aim the instrument at the object
to be measured and pull the trigger. The unit has an auto off after releasing
the trigger of 15 seconds.
Min / Max / avg / Differential
Press the MODE button to select minimum, maximum, average or
differential. Press the trigger and scan the area being measured.
• Min: Displays the lowest temperature measured while scanning.
• Max: Displays the highest temperature measured while scanning.
2
• avg: Displays an average of the temperature as you are scanning.
• Diff: Displays the difference between the highest and lowest
3
temperatures measured while scanning.
Selecting Temperature Scale
Press the °F/°C button to alternate between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
You can select either scale during or after measurement, when viewing
any of the held values.

The IR1000 will hold the last temperature measured for 15 seconds after
the trigger is released. To recall this value press the MODE key to activate
the display to show the held temperature.

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 IR1000 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.
