Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your REED R2160 Thermal Imaging Camera.
Please read the following instructions carefully before using your instrument.
By following the steps outlined in this manual your meter will provide years
of reliable service.
Product Quality
This product has been manufactured in an ISO9001 facility and has been
calibrated during the manufacturing process to meet the stated product
specications. If a certicate of calibration is required please contact the

product, other than for the purpose of replacing batteries, may cause
damage that will not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
Servicing should only be provided by an authorized service center.
• Donotpointthethermalimager(withorwithoutthelenscover)at
intensive energy sources as this can damage the thermal imager.
• Donotusethethermalimagerinatemperaturehigherthan122°F(50°C).
• Alwayschargethebatterybetween32to122°F(0to50°C).

Emissivity
This thermal imager measures infrared energy from the surface of the
objectandusesthisdatatocalculateanestimatedtemperaturevalue.
Surfacesthataregoodatradiatingenergy(highemissivity),theemissivity
factor is ≥0.90. Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals are not good 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 set directly as a value or from a list of emissivity
values for some common materials.
