LCD Error Messages
The SIR2 incorporates visual diagnostic mes-
sages as follows:
'Hi' or 'Lo' is displayed when the
temperature being measured is
outside of the range of the
instrument, 'Hi' when higher than
482
o
F and 'Lo' when lower than
-67
o
F.
'Er2' is displayed when the SIR2
is exposed to rapid changes in
the ambient temperature. 'Er3' is
displayed when the ambient tem-
perature of the SIR2 is outside
the range of 32
o
F to 122
o
F. In
both cases you should allow plen-
ty of time (minimum 30 minutes)
for the SIR2 to stabilize to the
operating room temperature.
For all other error messages it is necessary to
reset the SIR2. To reset the SIR2, turn the instru-
ment off, remove the batteries and wait for a mini-
mum of one minute, reinsert the batteries and turn
on. If the error message remains please contact the
Fieldpiece Instruments’ repair department for fur-
ther assistance.
Batteries
The SIR2 has two separate batteries. The battery
closer to the side of the laser beam output is for
laser operation only. The other battery is designat-
ed for temperature measurements. The SIR2 can
still measure temperature properly, even without the
laser battery.
The SIR2 incorporates visual low battery indica-
tion (for the lower battery) as follows:
Battery Okay- Measurements are
possible.
Battery Low- Measurements are
possible but battery needs
replaced.
Battery Exhausted-
Measurements are impossible.
Battery Replacement
When the 'Low Battery' icon indicates the battery
is low, the battery should be replaced immediately
with a CR2032 lithium cell. The battery is located
under the twist cover at the rear of the SIR2. Please
note: It is important to turn the instrument off before
replacing the battery otherwise the SIR2 may mal-
function
Cleaning
The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the
SIR2. The lens should be kept clean at all times.
Care should be taken when cleaning the lens using
only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or rub-
bing alcohol, allowing the lens to fully dry before
using the SIR2. Do not submerge any part of the
SIR2.
