• Technical parameters of the device may be improved without prior notice. ** Actual operation time depends on the temperature of the battery and the intensity of use of the WiFi function and the built-in video recorder.

02. Eyepiece Adjustment

The rated charging voltage of this product is 5V. > Please charge in time when power is low, so as to avoid service life loss caused by battery over-discharge. The thermal imager is not recommended to be used in high temperature environment for a long time, if the temperature is too high, the imager will enter the high-temperature protection state, and automatically shut down. The recommended temperature for use −10°C to +50°C. > Make sure that the USB port cover on the bottom of the thermal imager is tightly closed when using in damp environments, e.g. rainy days. > Under any circumstances (whether on or o), do not expose the lens of the thermal imager directly to high-intensity radiation sources (such as the sun, laser, etc.), to avoid irreversible dama- ge to the device. > When the device is not used for a long time, it should be char- ged at least every 2 months during storage and stored in a dry and ventilated environment. > The device should not be charged in an environment above 40°C. Disposal of waste electrical equipment and batteries Do not dispose of waste electrical equipment and batteries in the household waste. Please hand them in to your local recycling centre. Batteries should be fully discharged when disposed of. CE marking The devices are in conformity with the EU directives: EMC Directive 2014/35/EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU

ATTENTION! The lens of the device must not be pointed at any sources of intense energy, such as laser-emitting devices or the sun. This may damage the electronic components in the device. Damage caused by failure to comply with the operating guidelines is not covered under warranty.KEILER-13/-18 PRO CERAMIC · Operating Manual 08 / 2021

> Turn on the device by pressing the Power button or 3 seconds. The start-up screen appears, the infrared image comes on aer several seconds. The green LED indicator lights up continuously.

> Switch o the device by long pressing the Power button for 3 seconds.

To increase the battery life, the device can be put into standby mode. > When the device is on, short press the Power button to enter the standby mode. The green indicator light will flash every 3 seconds. > Short press the Power button again to wake up the device from the standby mode. Waking up the device is instant, there is no waiting time compared to switching on the device aer it has been switched o completely.

09. DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

The diopter adjustment adjusts the eyepiece of the device to the individual user’s eyesight. > Close the lens cover and turn the eyepiece/diopter adjustment clockwise or counterclockwise until the symbols on the display appear clearest for your personal eyesight.

10. SWITCHING THE IMAGE MODE

> Short press the Image Mode button to switch the image mode from white hot, black hot, red hot, false color and target high- light mode.

01. White Hot – ideal for accurate identication

02. Black Hot – ideal for quick spotting

03. Red Hot – for fast detection of heat sources

04. False Color – for detection at close range, for example thermal

05. Target Highlight - reduces the overall brightness and thus glare

> Short press the Zoom button for image zooming from 1× to 2×, 4× (Keiler-18 Pro Ceramic) or from 1× to 2× (Keiler-13 Pro Ceramic) and back to 1×.

12. SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

> Short press the Brightness button to adjust the screen brightness from level 1 to level 6 and back to level 1.

13. SENSOR CALIBRATION MODE

> Simultaneously long press the Image Mode, Zoom and Brightness buttons to switch between manual and automatic calibration modes. The selected mode is indicated by an M or A symbol in the bottom right corner of the screen. During use, the image will deteriorate gradually because of changing background temperature of the sensor. This needs to be equalized by periodically calibrating the sensor. In A mode, calibration is done automatically via an internal shutter that makes a faint clicking noise. The calibration can also be done manually by pressing the zoom and brightness buttons simultaneously during viewing if a deterioration in image quality is detected during use. In M mode, no automatic calibration is done. Pressing the Zoom and Brightness buttons simultaneously during viewing performs a manual shutterless calibration. During this shutterless calibration, the lens cover needs to be closed. Otherwise, an image of the scene viewed during calibration will be imparted on the sensor. This can be corrected by a proper calibration.

> Turn on the analog video recording function by long-pressing the Zoom button. The video output icon will appear in the lower-right corner of the image. The analog video can be output to an external monitor via the USB interface.

15. CHARGING THE BATTERY

The device is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery that can be charged via the Mini-USB port on the top of the housing. The battery indicator in the lower le corner of the screen shows the charging level of the battery. > Please recharge the battery no later than when a low battery charge (red battery symbol) is displayed. You can charge the battery with the supplied AC adapter or a portable power supply such as a USB power bank. A Powerbank with 4000 mAh capacity can double the runtime. The LED indicator lights up red when charging and changes to green when the battery is fully charged. The device can be charged during use, charging is faster than discharge during use.KEILER-13/-18 PRO CERAMIC · Operating Manual 08 / 2021

> When the device is switched o, you can press the Picture Mode button to activate the LED light above the lens. As soon as you release the button, the lamp turns o.

17. TECHNICAL INSPECTION

A technical inspection of the device is recommended before use. > Check the external appearance of the device. There should be no cracks in the casing. > Check the condition of the lens and eyepiece: There should be no cracks, greasy spots, dirt or other deposits. > Check the condition of the rechargeable battery: This should be charged. > Check the electrical contracts: There should be no presence of salts or oxidation.

Maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and consist of the following actions. > Wipe the external surfaces of metal and plastic parts free of dust and dirt with a cotton cloth. Silicone grease may be used for this. > Clean the electrical contacts of the unit using a non-greasy organic solvent. > Check the glass surfaces of the eyepiece and the lens. If neces- sary, remove dust and sand from the lenses (preferably using a non-contact method). Cleaning of the external surfaces of the optics should be done with substances designed specially for this purpose.

This table lists all the problems that may arise when operating the device. Carry out the recommended checks and repairs in the order shown in the table. If a defect should occur that is not listed in the table, or if it is impossible to repair the defect yourself, the device should be returned for repair. Malfunction Possible reason Correction Thermal imager does not power up. Battery completely discharged Charge the battery Does not operate from external power source. USB cable damaged Replace USB cable External power source discharged Charge external power source (if necessary). Image is unclear, with vertical lines and uneven back- ground Calibration required Perform image calibration according to Section 13 „Sensor Calibration Mode“ of the Manual. The image is too dark. Low brightness level set. Adjust display brightness. Colored lines appear on display or the image has disappeared. The device was expo- sed to static electricity during operation. Aer exposure to static electricity, the device may either reboot automati- cally or require turning o and on again. Poor image quality / reduced detection distance These problems may occur during observation in dicult weather condi tions (high humidity, snow, rain, fog, etc.). When used in lowtemperature conditions, the image quality of the surroundings is worse than in positive tem- perature conditions. In positive temperature conditions, objects being observed (surroundings and background) heat up dierently because of thermal conductivity, thereby generating a high-temperature contrast. Accor- dingly, the image quality produced by the device will be higher. In low-temperature conditions, objects being observed (background) do, as a rule, cool down to roughly the same temperature because of which temperature contrast is substantially reduced and the image quality (detail) is poorer. This is a feature of thermal imaging devices.KEILER-13/-18 PRO CERAMIC · Manual de instrucciones 08 / 2021
