Frequently Asked Questions - TI270 Klein Tools

How to recharge the TI270 thermal imager?

Use the provided USB-C cable to connect the imager to a computer, USB power adapter, or any other USB power source (5 V, 2 A). Recharging time is approximately 4 hours. The battery indicator shows an animation during charging.

How to transfer photos via Wi-Fi to a smartphone?

On the imager, turn it on, go to the Settings menu, select WiFi Photo Transfer. On your smartphone, download the Klein Tools app, connect to the Wi-Fi network KT-TI270, then tap Transfer Photos to import the images.

What is emissivity and how to adjust it?

Emissivity measures a surface's ability to emit thermal energy. It can be adjusted from 0.01 to 0.99 in the Settings menu. For reflective surfaces, reduce the value; for matte surfaces, use a value close to 0.95. Refer to the emissivity table in the app or on the Klein Tools website.

How to set a high or low temperature alarm?

In the Settings menu, select HI/LO Alert. You can set a high and low threshold temperature. When the measured temperature exceeds these limits, a visual or audible alarm triggers.

How to clean the thermal imager?

Turn off the device, then wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What is the measurable temperature range?

The measurement range is -20 °C to 400 °C (-4 °F to 752 °F). Accuracy is ±3 °C or 3% whichever is greater.

How to reset to default settings?

In the Settings menu, select Default Settings Reset to restore factory settings.

How to change the color palette?

Press the Menu button, use the scroll keys to reach the Color Palettes option (H), then choose from Iron, Rainbow, or Grayscale.

How many images can I store?

The TI270 can store up to 10,000 thermal images in JPG format. You can check available space in the Local Info menu.

What does the battery indicator mean?

Solid green: more than 40% charge. Yellow: less than 40%. Red: battery low, needs recharging. Flashing red (10 times): battery empty, immediate shutdown.

⚠️ WARNINGS

Read, understand, and follow these instructions to ensure safe operation. Failure to observe these warnings can result in risk of fire or electric shock. Keep these instructions for future reference.

• DO NOT use the product if it is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or injury.
• Risk of fire and burns. DO NOT open, crush, heat above specified maximum temperature or incinerate. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can result in elevated temperatures.
• If the battery's internal temperature gets too high, the unit will shut down until the internal temperature is lowered.
  • DO NOT expose to moisture, rain, or snow.
• DO NOT subject to impacts or drops greater than 6.6 ft. (2 m). Drops larger than this may not show signs of damage, but internal components may have been compromised. It is advisable to replace the unit if any such severe events occur.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DO NOT open or attempt to repair.

CAUTION

• BURN HAZARD. Reflective materials may have a higher actual temperature than the measured temperature. Set emissivity to match the object being measured (see Emissivity section).
• Do not point the camera at the sun or any other strong energy source. This can affect the accuracy of the camera or cause damage to the sensor.

EMISSIVITY

Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal energy by radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry, wood, etc.) emit thermal energy through radiation at different efficiencies. Accordingly, these materials have different emissivity coefficients which must be considered in order to make accurate measurements with an infrared thermometer.

Emissivity on the TI270 may be adjusted from 0.01 to 0.99 to enable accurate measurement of the temperature of most types of materials. Generally speaking, shiny bright surfaces such as chrome, white boards, etc. exhibit lower emissivity than flat black materials.

For guidance only, the chart below may be used to estimate emissivity for many different types of materials. However, the emissivity of surfaces is dependent upon many parameters such as surface finish, temperature, shape of the object, etc.

This chart should be used for guidance only.

Material Emissivity
Asphalt 0.93
Red brick 0.93
Gray brick 0.75
Porcelain ceramic 0.92
Fired clay 0.91
Rough concrete 0.94
Cotton cloth 0.77
Smooth glass 0.92 - 0.94
Granite 0.45
Gravel 0.28
Smooth ice 0.97
Smooth white marble 0.56
Black paint 0.96
Hard rubber 0.94
Wood	0.80 - 0.90
Matte copper	0.22
Commercial sheet aluminum	0.09
Cold rolled steel	0.75 - 0.85

Find a comprehensive list of emissivity values in the app's FAQ section or visit www.kleintools.com/emissivity.

CLEANING

Be sure unit is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

STORAGE

Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow unit to return to normal operating conditions before using.

WARRANTY

Do not place equipment and its accessories in the trash. Items must be properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Please see www.epa.gov/recycle for additional information.
