In tr o d u c tio n
Thank you forpurchasing yourREED R2160 ThermalImaging Camera.
Please read the following instructions carefully before using yourinstrument.
By following the steps outlined in this manualyourmeterwillprovide years
ofreliable service.
Pr o d u c t Qu a lity
This producthas been manufactured in an ISO9001 facility and has been
calibrated during the manufacturing process to meetthe stated product
specications.Ifa certicate ofcalibration is required please contactthe
nearestauthorized REED distributororauthorized Service Center.Please
note an additionalfee forthis service willapply.
Sa fe ty
• Neverattemptto repairormodify yourinstrument.Dismantling your
product,otherthan forthe purpose ofreplacing batteries,may cause
damage thatwillnotbe covered underthe manufacturer's warranty.
Servicing should only be provided by an authorized service center.
• Do notpointthe thermalimager(with orwithoutthe lens cover)at
intensive energy sources as this can damage the thermalimager.
• Do notuse the thermalimagerin a temperature higherthan 122°F (50°C).
• Always charge the battery between 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).

• Clean the case with a damp cloth and a diluted soap solution.
• Do notuse abrasives,isopropylalcohol,orsolvents to clean the
instrument,lens orscreen.
• Do notclean the infrared lens too vigorously,this can damage the
anti-reective coating.
• Store the thermalimagerin cooland dry environment.
• Please use the correctemissivity to obtain accurate temperature
measurements.
• To ensure accuracy,please letthe instrumentwarm up for10 minutes
before taking a measurementifithas notbeen used fora long time.
• When being charged,the internaltemperature ofthe productwillrise,which
willlead to inaccurate temperature measurement,itis notrecommended
to take measurements during orrightaftercharging the instrument.
• The inherenttemperature driftofthe sensormay occasionally cause
inaccurate measurements.In this case,press the button underthe
temperature measurementinterface to "Calibrate" the sensor.

E mis s iv ity
This thermalimagermeasures infrared energy from the surface ofthe
objectand uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Surfaces thatare good atradiating energy (high emissivity),the emissivity
factoris ≥0.90.Shiny surfaces orunpainted metals are notgood at
radiating energy (low emissivity)have an emissivity of<0.6.To more
accurately measure materials with a low emissivity,an emissivity correction
is necessary.Emissivity is setdirectly as a value orfrom a listofemissivity
values forsome common materials.
The following table gives typicalemissivity ofsome materials:
Material Emissivity
Asphalt 0.95
Concrete 0.95
Hard plaster 0.90
Wood (natural) 0.93
Lime Stone 0.98
Ballastchipping 0.95
Paper(every color) 0.95
Plastics non lm 0.95
Tissue (fabric) 0.95
