EMISSIVITY

The IR1000 is set to an emissivity of 0.95. This applies to most 

applications and will provide a reliable accurate measure of the surface 

temperature.  

Shiny bright surfaces (i.e. chrome, new copper, white boards) have a 

much lower emissivity, and will not read accurately. A common solution 

to measuring on these types of surfaces is to first apply a small piece of 

masking tape. The tape has an emissivity much closer to 0.95, and will 

quickly take on the temperature of the surface to which it is applied.

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.
