Non-contact Infrared
Thermometer
w/Laser Sight
Model: SIR2
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Description
The SIR2 thermometer is a low cost, wide angle,
standalone non-contact infrared thermometer.
Simply aim the thermometer at the target and press
the 'Scan' button to display the surface tempera-
ture. The temperature measured will be the average
of all the temperatures in the field of view. The clos-
er you are to the target, the smaller the area. The
further away, the larger the area measured.
Applications
The infrared temperature measurement is fast
and easy. It works best for fast readings, relative
readings (one to another or the same one at differ-
ent times), or temperature readings of hard to reach
places. The following are some applications:
• “Shoot” an inside wall for quick and fast indoor
ambient temperature readng.
• Heating and air conditioning where fast and/or
easy measurement is most important.
• Motor bearings: high temperature can indicate
bearings that might need r eplacement.
• Circuit breakers: a circuit breaker that is not
operating properly can get hot. By scanning a
panel, you will be able to find the hot one.
• Poor power line connections: a bad connection
can get hot.
IR Temperature Measurement
When something is hot, it radiates infrared (IR)
energy. The hotter it is, the more infrared energy. If
there's enough of it, you can feel it. The SIR2
infrared accessory head collects infrared energy
from a circular viewing area and measures the total
amount of energy collected. The SIR2 converts the
total energy measured to a temperature. Distance
doesn't matter because the further you go from the
target, the increase in area "seen" by the sensor
exactly balances the loss of energy collected from a
given area.
If you want to get the temperature of something
small, such as a pipe, you must get close enough
so the pipe takes up the whole viewing area circle.
Otherwise the pipe and the background tempera-
tures will be averaged into the reading.
The accuracy of many infrared temperature
measuring systems is adversely affected by ambi-
ent temperature.
You need to be aware that if the target surface is
reflective enough, it may reflect infrared from other
objects. For example, if you take a reading of a
shiny metal surface, the infrared energy of your face
may reflect enough energy off the surface to affect
the reading.
"Emissivity" of the target surface also affects the
temperature reading. For a given temperature, the
higher the emissivity, the higher the reading. The
lower the emissivity, the lower the reading.
Emissivity of a surface indicates how easy it is for
the infrared to get out. Emissivity for a dull, black
surface is high (nearly 100%) so it's easy for the
infrared to get out. Emissivity for a shiny surface
can be much lower. If the emissivity is low, the
measured temperature will be lower than actual.
For relative readings of the same kind of surface,
this isn't a problem. For some applications, it may
be necessary to spray dull, black paint on the target
to insure a more accurate reading.
For best accuracy use contact sensors (thermo-
couples, thermistors, etc.) anytime you take a tem-
perature measurement. Infrared instruments should
only be used when you aren’t able to touch the sur-
face to be measured.

SIR2
Field of View
The SIR2 takes it’s measurement from a circle of
a size determined by a simple ratio of 3:1. The
diameter of this circle is 1/3 the distance between
the target and the tip of the SIR2. For example, if
you’re standing 6 feet from your target, the size of
the circle you’re taking the average temperature of
will be 2 feet wide.
Laser Sight
By partially pressing the Scan button, the SIR2
will begin to measure the temperature of the target.
When the Scan button is completely depressed, the
laser will operate.
°C or °F
1. Turn the instrument on by pressing the Scan
button.
2. Press the Mode button four times. The oF or oC
symbol will flash.
3. Press the Scan button to change.
MIN/MAX
The MIN or MAX modes measure the lowest or
highest temperature, respectively, of all the temper-
atures measured while the MIN or MAX mode is
displayed.
1. Turn the instrument on by pressing the Scan
button, then press the Mode button once for
minimum or twice for maximum function. The
MIN or MAX icon will flash.
2. Press the Scan button to confirm the minimum
or maximum mode. The SIR2 will display the
minimum or maximum reading only.
3. To exit the MIN/MAX functions, don’t press
either button and let the instrument turn off.
When the scan button is pressed again, the
SIR2 will return to normal mode.
LOCK
The LOCK mode is particularly useful for the con-
tinuous monitoring of temperatures. Once the
LOCK mode is activated, the SIR2 will stay on for
60 minutes.
1. Turn the instrument on by pressing the Scan
button.
2. Press the Mode button three times for the lock
mode function. The LOCK icon will flash.
3. Press the Scan button to confirm the lock Scan
mode. The SIR2 will continuously display the
temperature for up to 60 minutes or until the
Scan button is pressed again.
Emissivity
The SIR2 infrared thermometer is supplied with a
default emissivity of 0.95. The emissivity can be
changed from 0.10 (10E) to 1.00 (100E). Changes
should only be carried out by experienced person-
nel.
1. Turn the instrument on by pressing the Scan
button, then press the Mode button five times
for emissivity function. The 95E will flash on the
LCD screen, then press the Scan button to
adjust the emissivity value.
2. Press the Mode button again to exit the set up
screen. For information relating to the emissivity
of specific materials, please contact the nearest

the 'Scan' button to display the surface tempera-
ture. The temperature measured will be the average
of all the temperatures in the field of view. The clos-
er you are to the target, the smaller the area. The
further away, the larger the area measured.
Applications
The infrared temperature measurement is fast
and easy. It works best for fast readings, relative
readings (one to another or the same one at differ-
ent times), or temperature readings of hard to reach
places. The following are some applications:
• “Shoot” an inside wall for quick and fast indoor
ambient temperature readng.
• Heating and air conditioning where fast and/or
easy measurement is most important.
• Motor bearings: high temperature can indicate
bearings that might need r eplacement.
• Circuit breakers: a circuit breaker that is not
operating properly can get hot. By scanning a
panel, you will be able to find the hot one.
• Poor power line connections: a bad connection
can get hot.
IR Temperature Measurement
When something is hot, it radiates infrared (IR)
energy. The hotter it is, the more infrared energy. If
there's enough of it, you can feel it. The SIR2
infrared accessory head collects infrared energy
from a circular viewing area and measures the total
amount of energy collected. The SIR2 converts the
total energy measured to a temperature. Distance
doesn't matter because the further you go from the
target, the increase in area "seen" by the sensor
exactly balances the loss of energy collected from a
given area.
If you want to get the temperature of something
small, such as a pipe, you must get close enough
so the pipe takes up the whole viewing area circle.
Otherwise the pipe and the background tempera-
tures will be averaged into the reading.
The accuracy of many infrared temperature
measuring systems is adversely affected by ambi-
ent temperature.
You need to be aware that if the target surface is
reflective enough, it may reflect infrared from other
objects. For example, if you take a reading of a
shiny metal surface, the infrared energy of your face
may reflect enough energy off the surface to affect
the reading.
"Emissivity" of the target surface also affects the
temperature reading. For a given temperature, the
higher the emissivity, the higher the reading. The
lower the emissivity, the lower the reading.
Emissivity of a surface indicates how easy it is for
the infrared to get out. Emissivity for a dull, black
surface is high (nearly 100%) so it's easy for the
infrared to get out. Emissivity for a shiny surface
can be much lower. If the emissivity is low, the
measured temperature will be lower than actual.
For relative readings of the same kind of surface,
this isn't a problem. For some applications, it may
be necessary to spray dull, black paint on the target
to insure a more accurate reading.
For best accuracy use contact sensors (thermo-
couples, thermistors, etc.) anytime you take a tem-
perature measurement. Infrared instruments should
only be used when you aren’t able to touch the sur-
face to be measured.

perature of the SIR2 is outside
the range of 32oF to 122oF. 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 bat-
tery 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 fol-
lows:
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.

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 instru-
ment, 'Hi' when higher than
482oF and 'Lo' when lower than -
27oF.
'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 32oF to 122oF. In
both cases you should allow plen-
