Flir Extech IR250 Thermometer F.A.Q.

How do I switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit on the Flir Extech IR250 Thermometer?

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the 'Mode' button until the temperature unit icon flashes on the display, then use the arrow buttons to select the desired unit.

What is the correct way to clean the lens of the IR250 thermometer?

To clean the lens, use a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using any abrasive materials or solvents.

Why is my Flir Extech IR250 Thermometer not turning on?

Ensure that the batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. If the problem persists, try replacing the batteries with new ones.

How can I ensure accurate readings with the IR250 thermometer?

Ensure that the thermometer is held perpendicular to the surface being measured and that there are no obstructions or reflections. Allow the thermometer to acclimate to ambient temperature if moving it between environments.

What is the best way to store the IR250 thermometer when not in use?

Store the thermometer in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original case to protect it from dust and impacts. Remove the batteries if it will not be used for an extended period.

How do I activate the laser pointer on my IR250 thermometer?

Press the 'Laser' button to toggle the laser pointer on and off. Use the laser to target the area you wish to measure accurately.

What should I do if the IR250 reads unusually high or low temperatures?

Ensure that the thermometer is not measuring reflective surfaces, as these can affect accuracy. Check for any obstructions and ensure the lens is clean. Consider the emissivity setting and adjust it if necessary.

How often should I calibrate the Flir Extech IR250 Thermometer?

Calibration frequency depends on usage, but it is recommended to calibrate the device annually or whenever you notice a shift in measurement accuracy.

Can the IR250 thermometer be used on shiny surfaces?

Shiny surfaces may require an emissivity adjustment to get accurate readings. Use a matte tape or paint over the surface, or adjust the emissivity setting on the thermometer accordingly.

Is it possible to measure the temperature of moving objects with the IR250?

Yes, but ensure that the object is within the thermometer's range and that you can maintain a steady aim. Rapidly moving objects may still present challenges in obtaining accurate readings.
