10.1 Charging the battery

Be sure to charge the battery before using the thermal imaging camera for the rst time.

Open the dust cap (E) to access the USB-C

Plug one end of the USB cable (included) into the USB-C

port of the device and the other end into a suitable USB-A power supply.

Short press the power button (A) to display the battery charge status. Allow the battery to charge until the full battery status ( ) and then discon- nect the USB charging cable.

First, open the dust cap (E) to access the microSD card slot.

Insert the microSD card in the direction shown on the cap. You should hear a click if you have done this correctly.

Close the cap again. You may need to restart the device by switching it off and on again so it can recognise the SD card. You may need to format the SD card before using it for the rst time. More information can be found in section 13.6 “Settings” under the menu item “Reset” and in section 19 “Technical data”. Note: Photos and videos can also be stored in the internal memory.39 11 Getting started

11.1 Switching the device on/off

Press and hold the power button (A) for about 3 seconds to switch on the thermal imaging camera. The screen lights up, and the device takes a few seconds to complete calibration. After a short time, the display shows a thermal image. Note: Once switched on, the thermal imaging camera requires sufcient warm-up time to ensure the most accurate temperature measurements and the best image quality. Press and hold the power button (A) for about 5 seconds to switch off the thermal imaging camera.

11.2 Temperature calibration

The inherent temperature drift of the thermal sensor can affect the accuracy of measurements. Therefore, you should calibrate the sensor by pressing and holding the OK button (G) and then releasing it. You will then hear a click.

11.3 Setting the emissivity value

For accurate temperature readings, it is important to select an emissivity value to match the emissivity of the surface being measured. More information on how to change the emissivity value can be found in section 13.3 “Parameter menu” under the menu item “Emissivity value” as well as in section 13.6 “Settings” under the menu item “Emissivity value”. Also, refer to section 16 “Emissivity value” for a list of the emissivity values of the common objects for surface temperature measurements.40

Press the OK button (G) to save the picture.

Pressing and holding the photo button (B) for about 2 seconds captures the ther- mal image shown on the display (C) with the relevant temperature data. Press the photo button (B) again to stop recording. 12 Menu navigation Button Function OK button (G)

The ambient temperature affects the thermal imaging camera’s measurement. The permissible temperature range is between -10 and 50 degrees Celsius.43

13.3.2 Reected temperature

The reected temperature is an important factor for radiometric temperature meas- urements. The thermal imaging camera has a reected temperature compensation feature. It is necessary to accurately set the reected temperature for a more ac- curate temperature measurement. For most applications, the reected temperature is the same as the ambient temperature. The reected temperature only needs to be set when there are much hotter objects that produce strong emissions near the target to be measured.

Airborne water droplets can absorb infrared radiation. Humid air can affect the accu- racy of the temperature measurement. You can set humidity compensation between 0% and 100%.

13.3.4 Infrared compensation

The delta temperature value directly affects the measurement.

Lots of airborne substances can absorb infrared radiation. That said, the object’s infrared radiation attenuates as the distance increases. You can set the distance between 0 - 2000 metres.

13.3.6 Emissivity value

This option allows you to set the emissivity value of the object. You can choose a value between 0.01 and 1.00. Refer to section 16 “Emissivity value”. To exit this submenu and thus the Parameter menu, briey press the power button (A).44

From the main menu, press the left ◄ (F) or right ► (H) button to highlight the “Image mode” symbol. Briey press the OK button (G) to enter the submenu with three image modes.

Some parts of the image are enhanced.53 15 Software Download the software using the link www.conrad.com/downloads. The software allows you to manage les, tag images, and analyse data. Connect the device to your computer by plugging one end of the USB cable (in- cluded) into the USB-C

port (E) (underneath the dust cap) of the device and the other end into a vacant USB-A port on your computer. 16 Emissivity value When using the thermal imaging camera, always consider the emissivity of the tar- get surface the temperature sensor is pointing at. Emissivity is a measure of how well an object radiates the heat, which affects how accurate the temperature measurement reected off that object is. Emissivity values range from 0 (reects all energy) to 1.0 (perfectly absorbs and reects all energy). An object can be cool to the touch but look hot if it reects a nearby source of heat. Or it can be warm to the touch but appear cooler than other surfaces of the same temperature.54 Emissivity of common objects Material Emissivity value Water 0.96 Stainless steel 0.14 Aluminium plate 0.09 Asphalt 0.96 Concrete 0.97 Cast iron 0.81 Rubber 0.95 Wood 0.85 Brick 0.75 Adhesive tape 0.96 Brass plate 0.06 Human skin 0.98 PVC plastic 0.93 Polycarbonate 0.80 Oxidised copper 0.73 Rust 0.80 Paint 0.90 Soil 0.9355 17 Cleaning and care Important: – Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions.
