6. Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.

a) General information

• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the device from extreme temperatures,

direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.

• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.

• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

• is visibly damaged,

• is no longer working properly,
• has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or

• has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the device.

• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

b) LiPo batteries

• The rechargeable battery is permanently built into the product and cannot be replaced.

• Never damage the rechargeable battery. Damaging the casing of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or a fire! Unlike conventional batteries/rechargeable batteries (e.g. AA or AAA type), the casing of the LiPo rechargeable battery does not consist of a thin sheet but rather a sensitive plastic film only.

• Never short-circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Do not throw the battery or the product into fire. There is a danger of fire and explosion!

• Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do are not using the product. Due to the rechargeable battery technology being used, you do not need to discharge the rechargeable battery first.
• Never charge the rechargeable battery of the product unattended.
• When charging, place the product on a surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is normal that a certain amount of heat is generated during charging!

8. Setting up

a) Charge the battery

• Lift the cover flap marked to access the micro USB port (7).
• Using the included cable, connect one end to the micro USB port and the other end to a suitable USB-A power source.
  The LED charging indicator (6) and the display (1) will show the battery status. Charging (red)/fully charged (green)

b) MicroSD

• Lift the cover flap marked to access the microSD card slot (9).
• Insert the card in the direction shown on the cover. It should "click" into place.
• Replace the cover.

You may need to restart the device for the SD card to register. When using an SD card the first time please format it. For further details see sections 11.e) "Settings", "Format SD" and 16. "Technical data".

9. Getting started

a) Power on/off

Press and hold the power button (10) to turn the power on or off.

b) Temperature calibration

The inherent temperature drift of the thermal sensor can affect the accuracy of measurements.

To calibrate the sensor, turn the power on (10) then press the left button (3). The display will show "calibrating" to indicate that the temperature has been calibrated.

c) Set the emissivity value

For accurate temperature readings, it is important to select an emissivity value to match the emissivity of the surface being measured.

See section 11. e) "Settings", "Emissivity" for how to change emissivity values.

See section 13. "Emissivity" for a list of values for common objects.

d) Capture screen image

Press the photo button (11) to capture the image and data shown on the display (1).

• Press the right button (5) to save the image.
• Press the left button (3) to discard the image

It is recommended not to store more than 5000 images as this may affect the image storage speed.

10. Navigating menus

Button Action
OK	• Press to enter menu and submenus. • Press to confirm a selection.
Press to move left.
Press to move right.
Back (11) Press to return to the previous menu.

11. Menu Settings

a) Temperature unit selection

Navigate to the temperature unit selection (D) menu, then choose ^ C or ^ F units of measurement.

b) Center point position and high/low temperature tracking

Navigate to the temperature tracking options (E) menu. You can activate one or both options at the same time.

• Center point : the target in the middle of the screen is where the temperature is being measured. The value is shown at the top left of the display.
• High/low temperature tracking The highest and lowest temperature values on the screen are marked by dynamic indicators: [H] High, [L] Low

The bar on the right shows high/low values and the corresponding colour.

c) Colour palette selection

• Navigate to the colour palette selection (F) menu, then select between iron red, rainbow, and grey.
• If the colour palette does not change, check that you have not activated "fast thermal tracking" (see below).

Fast thermal tracking visually increases the contrast between high and low temperatures. From the main page, press the right button (5) to toggle between the selected colour palette and "fast thermal tracking".

12. Included software

• Use the included software to manage files, mark images up, and analyze data.
• Software installation and use instructions are provided on the included CD ROM.
• Use the included cable to connect the micro USB port (7) to an available USB-A port on your computer.

13. Emissivity

When using the thermal camera, always consider the emissivity of what you are looking at.

Emissivity is a measure of how well an object radiates the heat, which affects how accurate the temperature measurement reflected off that object is.

Emissivity values range from 0 (reflects all energy) to 1 (perfectly absorbs and reflects all energy).

An object can be cool to the touch but look hot if it reflects a nearby source of heat, or feel warm but appear cooler than other surfaces of the same temperature.

Emissivity of common objects

Water 0.96 Polycarbonate	0.80
Brick 0.75 Concrete	0.97
Stainless steel 0.14 Copper oxide	0.78
Tape 0.96 Cast iron	0.81
Adhesive tape 0.09 Rust	0.80
