Description
The Greenlee TG-2000 Infrared and Contact Thermometer is a hand-held surface temperature sensing
device. The non-intrusive measuring capability of this unit is safer and quicker than other methods,
and is well suited to checking the surface temperature of circuit breakers, motors, HVAC/R equipment,
engines, etc.
This device measures surface temperature by gathering three forms of infrared energy — emitted,
transmitted, and reflected — from an object and translating that energy into a temperature.
This temperature instrument includes the following features:
•Dual laser sighting. The two lasers indicate the approximate diameter of the measurement area.
•User-adjustable high and low temperature alarms.
•Automatic recording of maximum, minimum, difference, and average temperatures while making
measurements.
•Probe jack. Allows the thermometer to measure contact temperature using any K-type thermocouple
with a standard mini connector.
•Lock mode. Allows long-term measurements without holding the trigger. The lasers are turned off in
Lock mode unless the trigger is held down.

CE Certification
This instrument conforms to the following standards:
•EN50081-1:1992, Electromagnetic Emissions
•EN50082-1:1992, Electromagnetic Susceptibility
Readings may be affected if the unit is operated with a radio frequency electromagnetic field of
approximately 3 volts per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently
affected. From 200 to 600 MHz, the maximum error is 10 °C (18 °F).

Using the Features
Basic Features
•To turn the laser on or off: Press and hold the trigger, and then momentarily press the button.
•To turn the backlight on or off: Press and hold the trigger, and then momentarily press the button.
•To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit: If the LCD is blank, press and release the trigger.
Momentarily press the °C/°F button.
•To lock the trigger for continuous measurement: If the LCD is blank, press and release the trigger.
Momentarily press the Lock button. Momentarily press the Lock button again to return to normal
measurement. The unit will automatically exit Lock mode after 60 minutes.
Advanced Features
Press the Mode button to access the advanced features. They appear in this order: Emissivity Display
(E), Emissivity Setting (iEh), Maximum (MAX), Minimum (MIN), Difference (dIF), Average (AVG), High
Alarm Limit (HAL), Low Alarm Limit (LAL), and Probe (PRB).
Setting Alarm Points
After selecting the HAL or LAL mode, use the or button to set the alarm point. A tone will sound
and the alarm indicator will flash if the temperature is higher than or lower than the corresponding set
point. “HI” or “LOW” will appear with the alarm indicator.
Temperature Probe
To use a K-type thermocouple temperature probe (purchased separately), connect the probe to the
probe jack on the side of the thermometer. Select PRB mode. The probe temperature will appear in
the lower right corner of the display. The temperature detected by the infrared sensor will continue to
appear in the center of the display. You may still use the Mode button to access the other advanced
features, but the probe temperature is displayed only when PRB mode is selected.
Note: The probe will not trip the high alarm and low alarm.
Measurement Review
After the unit shuts off, press Mode to review the measurement:
•MAX — the highest recorded temperature among all of the readings.
•MIN — the lowest recorded temperature among all of the readings.
•dIF — the difference between the maximum and minimum readings.
•AVG — a weighted rolling average of all of the readings.
Note: Values for MAX, MIN, dIF and AVG are reset each time the trigger is pressed.
Note: The AVG feature acts as a filter to eliminate fluctuations from the temperature readings. It is not
an arithmetic mean, but rather a rolling weighted average of the readings that smoothes the data and
excludes sudden spikes.

Distance from Target
Thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object by sensing its emitted, reflected, and
transmitted energy. The sensor collects this energy from the area being measured (spot size). The spot
size varies as the distance to the target changes. The farther the distance from the area being targeted,
the larger the spot size.
When determining the appropriate distance from the object, the spot size must be somewhat smaller
than the target area. When accuracy is critical, the spot size should be half as large as the target. If the
spot size is larger than the target size, the thermometer will pick up the temperature of the back-
ground, resulting in inaccurate readings.
1 2
Object 1 is the correct distance from the unit. Note the target is slightly larger than the spot size being
measured.
Object 2 is too far away. The thermometer also measures the background because the target is smaller
than the instrument’s spot size. This can result in an inaccurate reading.
Distance to Spot Size
The distance to spot size is a ratio that provides the appropriate distance to the target.
The nominal distance-to-spot-size (D:S) ratio for TG-2000 is 16:1.

1. Refer to “Typical Measurements” for specific measuring instructions.
2. Test the unit on an object with a known temperature.
•If the unit does not function as expected on an object of known temperature, replace the
batteries.
•If the unit still does not function as expected, call Greenlee for technical assistance
at 800-435-0786.
3. To measure the temperature of a selected area: Press and hold the trigger and point the ther-
mometer at the object to be measured. The dual lasers indicate the approximate diameter of the
measured area. “SCAN,” the measured temperature, and advanced feature data will appear on the
display. The scan icon will blink. Release the trigger after completing the measurement. “HOLD,”
the final temperature measurement, and advanced feature data will remain on the display for
1minute.
4. To take more than one temperature measurement, or to locate a hot spot: Press and hold the
trigger, and scan the objects to be measured. The unit will record the maximum, minimum, differ-
ence, and average temperatures.
To perform other functions, refer to “Advanced Features” in the “Using the Features” section.
Limitations
•The thermometer cannot measure through transparent objects, such as glass or plastic. It will
measure the surface temperature of the glass or plastic.
•Steam, dust, smoke, or other particles can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s
infrared sensor.
Locating a Hot Spot
To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, and then scan across with an up
and down motion.
