The secondary trigger operates the LaserSharp Auto Focus System (see LaserSharp Auto Focus System) and the Laser Pointer/Distance Finder (see Distance).

Basic Operation

Turn On and Off the Imager

Before you use the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of two and one-half hours. See Charge Batteries.

To turn on or turn off the Imager, push and hold Ⓐ for 2 seconds.

To maximize the life of the battery, use the Power Save and Auto Off features. See Table 13 for more information about how to set these features.

Note

All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time for accurate temperature measurements and best image quality. Warm-up time can vary by model and environmental conditions. Although most imagers are fully warmed up in 3 minutes to 5 minutes, wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate temperature measurement is important to your application. When you move an Imager between environments with large differences in ambient temperature, allow for additional adjustment time.

Focus

Correct focus makes sure that the infrared energy is correctly directed onto the pixels of the detector. Without correct focus, the thermal image can be blurry and the radiometric data may be inaccurate. Out-of-focus infrared images are frequently unusable or of little value.

To focus with the advanced manual focus system, rotate the Manual Focus Control until the inspection object is in proper focus. Use the advanced manual focus system as an override to the LaserSharp Auto Focus System. See LaserSharp Auto Focus System.

Level/Span

Level and Span are values within the total range of temperature set in Range. Level is the temperature level to view within the total range of temperatures. Span is the span of temperatures to view within the total range of temperatures. See Table 9.

Table 9. Level and Span Settings

Item Description
①	Level
②	Span
③	Total Imager range

In automatic Level/Span mode, the Imager sets Level/Span based on the temperatures set in Range. When the Range of the Imager is set to one of the preset measurement ranges and Level/Span is set to Manual, the level setting moves the thermal span up or down within the total temperature range.

To change the Level/Span:

1. Select Measurement > Level/Span > Manual.

2. Select Set Level/Span.

3. Push:

• to decrease the temperature span.
• ▶ to increase the temperature span.
• ▲ to move the span to a higher temperature level.
• ▼ to move the span to a lower temperature level.

The scale along the right side of the display shows the thermal span increasing or decreasing in size and shows the span as it moves to different levels within the total range. See Table 9.

See Detailed Specifications for more information about the minimum span.

Note

The Imager always powers up in the same Level/Span mode, Auto or Manual, as when the Imager was powered down.

Emissivity Adjustment

All objects radiate infrared energy. The actual surface temperature and emissivity of the target affects the quantity of energy radiated. The Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the target and uses the data to calculate an estimated temperature value. Many common materials such as wood, water, skin, cloth, and painted surfaces, including metal, radiate energy well and have a high emissivity factor of ≥90% (or 0.90). The Imager measures temperatures accurately on targets with a high emissivity.

Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals do not radiate energy well and have a low emissivity factor of <0.60. For the Imager to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual temperature of targets with a low emissivity, adjust the emissivity setting.

⚠ Warning

To prevent personal injury, see emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.

Set emissivity as a direct value or from a list of emissivity values for some common materials. If the emissivity value is <0.60, a caution shows on the display.

Note

Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make it difficult to determine reliable and consistent actual temperatures. The lower the emissivity is the greater the potential of error is when the Imager calculates the temperature measurement because more of the energy reaching the camera is specified as background temperature. This is also true even when adjustments to the emissivity and reflected background adjustments are performed properly.

Spot Markers

Use fixed-temperature spot markers to highlight a region on the display before you save an image.

To set a marker:

1. Select Measurement > Markers.
2. Select an option.
3. Push F1 to set the marker option and go to the Move Marker display.

The Move Marker icon shows on the display and the labels on the function buttons change to Done, Next, and Cancel.

To change the marker position on the display:

1. Push ▲ / ▼ / ◀ / ▶ to move the marker location on the image.
2. Push F2 to select the next marker.
3. Repeat for the rest of the markers.
4. Push F1 when done.

Spot Box

Use the Spot Box feature to adjust a temperature measurement zone (box) to center on the target. This zone expands and contracts to different levels within the infrared image. The zone shows an approximate maximum (MAX), average (AVG), and minimum (MIN) temperature measurement in that area.

Note

When using the Spot Box, the level and span of the Imager adjusts to the thermal scene within the Spot Box.

To set the size of the Spot Box when Spot Box is set to On:

1. Select Measurement > Spot Box > Set Size.

MultiSharp Focus

MultiSharp Focus captures several images focused on multiple targets that are positioned at different distances from the Imager and creates one image that focuses on the multiple targets at the same time.

Note

The minimum focus distance with MultiSharp Focus and a standard lens is 15 cm (6 inches). For optimum performance, position the camera ≥ 23 cm (9 inches) from the closest target. MultiSharp Focus also works with all compatible lenses.

To use:

1. Point the Imager at the target.
2. Capture an image. Hold the Imager still while it captures the images.

Saving... shows on the display for \~2 seconds for a 60 Hz model or 5 seconds for a 9 Hz model.

1. When Saving... no longer shows on the display, you can move the Imager. If necessary, use a tripod to stabilize the Imager while the images save.

- In MultiSharp Focus mode, the Imager collects the images in the Imager and shows the focused image on the display in \~8 seconds for a 60 Hz model or \~15 seconds for a 9 Hz model.

Confirm the image on the display is what you need. If possible, process the images on the Imager.

- In MultiSharp Focus (In PC only) mode, the Imager collects the images in a single file and shows the image on the display as it appears before you capture the image (\~2 seconds for a 60 Hz model or \~5 seconds for a 9 Hz model).

In MultiSharp Focus (In PC only) Mode, you cannot view the focused image on the Imager. If possible, download, process, and view the image(s) on your computer while you are at the job site. To view the focused image, open the image with SmartView software.

Note

Some targets have abnormal thermal characteristics that can cause the MultiSharp Focus algorithm to fail. If MultiSharp Focus mode does not capture a clear image, use LaserSharp Auto Focus or Advanced manual focus.

SuperResolution

SuperResolution uses a sensor to capture micro movements to create an image with double the resolution. See Detailed Specifications for the resolution available based on the model of the Imager.

To use:

1. Capture an image.

2. Hold the Imager still for \~1 second.

3. In SuperResolution mode, the Imager captures the data and processes the image. The image shows on the display of the Imager in \~18 seconds.

4. In SuperResolution (in PC only) mode, the image is not processed on the Imager so you cannot view the image on the Imager. Use SmartView software to view the image on your PC.

Low Gain (Handheld)	Optimizes the sensitivity of the display when the Imager is held in a hand when SF6 Gas Detection Mode: ON is enabled. See Gas Detection Conditions.

Gas Detection Conditions

The Imager detects gas leaks based on:

• The temperature difference between the gas and the background environment
• The wind speed
  • The amount of clutter in the background scene (for example, clouds)
  • The stability of the Imager
  • The proximity of the Imager to the leak

Note

The lower the volume of the gas leak the more challenging it is for the Imager to detect the leak.

To improve the gas detection rate, place the Imager where:

• The temperature difference between the gas and the background environment is the greatest.
- There is a light wind.
• There is limited clutter in the background scene. A clear blue sky is optimal.
• The Imager is stable. When possible, use a tripod and High Gain (Tripod) mode.
- The Imager is close to the leak. If close proximity is not possible, use the 2X lens.

Table 17 lists the guidelines for the Imager to detect a gas leak based on the annual gas loss rate.

Maintenance

The Imager does not require maintenance.

Warning

To prevent eye damage and personal injury, do not open the Product. The laser beam is dangerous to eyes. Have the Product repaired only through an approved technical site.

Clean the Case

Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the case.

Lens Care

Caution

To prevent damage to the infrared lens:

• Carefully clean the infrared lens. The lens has a delicate anti-reflective coating.
• Do not clean the lens too vigorously because this can damage the anti-reflective coating.

To clean the lens:

1. Use a pressurized can of air or a dry nitrogen-ion gun, if available, to blow off the particulates from the lens surface.
2. Soak a lint-free cloth in a commercial lens cleaning liquid that contains alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol.
3. Squeeze the cloth to remove excess liquid.
4. Wipe the lens surface in one circular motion and discard the cloth.
5. If needed, repeat with a new lint-free cloth.

Battery Care

Warning

To prevent personal injury and for safe operation of the Product:

• Do not put battery cells and battery packs near heat or fire. Do not put in sunlight.
• Do not disassemble or crush battery cells and battery packs.
• Remove batteries to prevent battery leakage and damage to the Product if it is not used for an extended period.
• Connect the battery charger to the mains power outlet before the charger.
• Use only Fluke approved power adapters to charge the battery.
• Keep cells and battery packs clean and dry. Clean dirty connectors with a dry, clean cloth.

Caution

To prevent damage, do not expose Product to heat sources or high-temperature environments such as an unattended vehicle in the sun.

To get the best performance from the lithium-ion battery:

• Do not store the Imager on the charger for more than 24 hours as reduced battery life may result.
• Charge the Imager for a two-hour minimum at six-month intervals for maximum battery life. Without use, the battery will self-discharge in approximately six months. Batteries stored for long periods will need two to ten charging cycles for full capacity.

Charge Batteries

Before you use the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of two and one-half hours. The battery status shows on the five-segment charge indicator.

Note

New batteries are not fully charged. Two to ten charge/discharge cycles are necessary before the battery charges to its maximum capacity.

To charge the battery, use one of the options that follow.

Two-Bay Battery Charger Base

1. Connect the ac power supply to the ac wall outlet and connect the dc output to the charger base.
2. Put one or two smart batteries into bays of charger base.
3. Charge batteries until charge LEDs on charger base are a solid green.
4. Remove smart batteries and disconnect the power supply when batteries are fully charged.

AC Power Socket on Imager

1. Connect the ac power adapter into an ac wall outlet and connect the dc output to the Imager's ac power socket. [1] flashes on the display while the battery charges with the ac power adapter.
2. Charge until the charge indicator on the display does not flash.
3. Disconnect the ac power adapter when the smart battery is fully charged.

Note

Make sure that the Imager is near room temperature before you connect it to the charger. See the charging temperature specification. Do not charge in hot or cold areas. When you charge in extreme temperatures, battery capacity may be decreased.

shows in the lower left-hand corner of the display when the Imager is connected to ac power and the battery is removed. When the power is off on the Imager and the ac power adapter is connected to the Imager, flashes in the center of the display to show that the battery charge is in process.

Keep the Imager attached to the charger until the battery condition icon shows a full charge. If you remove the Imager from the charger before a full charge shows, it can have a reduced run-time.

Note

When the battery is connected to ac power or the unit is in video mode, the Sleep Mode/Auto Off feature is disabled automatically.

Optional 12 V Vehicle Charger

1. Connect the 12 V adapter into the 12 V accessory socket of the vehicle.
2. Connect the output to the ac power socket of the Imager.
3. Charge until the indicator shows full on the screen.
4. Disconnect the 12 V adapter and Imager when battery is fully charged.

Caution

To prevent damage to the Imager, remove it from the dc car charger before you start or jump start the vehicle.

• Always operate in the specified temperature range.
- Do not store the batteries in extreme cold environments.
- Do not attempt to charge the batteries in extreme cold environments.

Caution

Do not incinerate the Product and/or battery.
