Operating Instructions

Body Temperature Measurements

1.

Set the Body-Surface- switch for “Body” for accurate measurements in the range of

.86.0 to 109

2.

Hold the meter by its handle and point it toward the surface to be measured.

Measurement distance should be 2 to 6” (5 to 15cm).

3.

Press the trigger to turn the meter on and take a temperature reading. The

temperature reading appears in the large display and the logged data number and

value appear in the smaller display.

4.

Release the Trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 7 seconds after which

the meter will automatically shut off. Trigger presses can occur up to a rate of one a

second to quickly log samples.

5.

If the temperature goes above 109°F or 43°C, Hi will appear in the display.

If the temperature goes below 86°F or 30°C, Lo will appear in the display.

Body Temperature Mode settings

1.

With the meter OFF, press the MODE button once to set the C/F temperature units.

The temperature units will flash. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to change the units.

2.

Press the MODE button a second time to set the alarm temperature limit. Press the ▲

or ▼ buttons to change the value.

3.

Press the MODE button a third time to enter the long term calibration drift correction

mode. On entering the mode, the previous temperature correction factor will appear

on the display. To make a correction, measure a known, fixed temperature source.

Enter the correction mode and press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to change the correction

value and minimize the difference in readings. Repeat and adjust the correction value

as needed until the measurement on the IR200 matches the known temperature.

4.

Press the MODE button a fourth time to set the alarm buzzer status. Press the ▲ or

▼ buttons to switch from ON to OFF.

Surface Temperature Measurements

1.

Set the Body-Surface- switch for “Surface” for wide range surface measurements of

most materials.

2.

Hold the meter by its handle and point it toward the surface to be measured.

3.

Press the trigger to turn the meter on and take a temperature reading. The

temperature reading appears in the large display and the logged data number and

value appear in the smaller display.

4.

Release the Trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 7 seconds after which

the meter will automatically shut off. Trigger presses can occur up to a rate of one a

second to quickly log samples.

5.

If the temperature goes above 140°F or 60°C, “Hi” will appear in the display.

If the temperature goes below 32°F or 0°C, “Lo” will appear in the display.
