2. Safety
Safety Notes
- Before operang the device, you must read, understand, and follow all instrucons, dangers, warnings, cauons, and notes.
- FLIR Systems reserves the right to disconnue models, parts or accessories, and other items, or to change specicaons at any me without prior noce.
- Remove the baeries if the device is not to be used for an extended period of me.

Warning Statements
- Do not operate the device if you do not have the correct knowledge. Incorrect operation of the device can cause damage, shock, injury or death to persons.
- Do not start a measuring procedure before you have set the funcon switch to the correct posion. Failure to do so can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
- Do not change to the resistance mode when measuring voltage. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
- Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to more than 1000 V. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
- You must disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test before you change the range. Failure to observe this warning can damage the instrument and cause bodily injury.
- Do not replace the baeries before you remove the test leads. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
- Do not use the device if the test leads and/or the device show signs of damage. Injury to persons can occur.
- Be careful performing measurements if the voltages are > 25 VAC rms or 35 VDC. There is a risk of shock from these voltages. Injury to persons can occur.
- Do not do diode, resistance or connuity tests before you have removed the power from capacitors and other devices under test. Injury to persons can occur.
- Be careful when performing voltage checks on electrical outlets. These checks are difficult because of the uncertainty of the conneccon to the recessed electrical contacts. You must not rely solely on this this device when determining if the terminals are not "live". There is a risk of electrical shock. Injury to person can occur.
• Do not touch expired/damaged baeries without gloves. Injury to persons can occur.
- Do not cause a short circuit of the baeries. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
- Do not put the baeries into a re. Injury to persons can occur.
- Use extreme cauon when the laser pointer is on.
- Do not point the beam toward anyone's eye or allow the beam to strike the eye from a reecve surface.
• Do not use the laser near explosive gases or in other potenally explosive areas.
• Refer to the CAUTION statement label (shown below) for critical safety informaon.


Do not use the device in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. This can cause damage to the protecon provided.

8.1 Thermal Camera IGM™ Basics
In the Thermal Imaging mode, the user can measure a targeted surface's temperature. This is accomplished by detecting the energy emitted by the surface under test. A thermal image of the area under test is viewed in the same manner as with dedicated thermal imaging devices, where color variaons react temperature variaons. See Secon 8.7, Infrared Energy and Thermal Imaging Theory for in-depth informaon. The laser pointer and display cross hairs assist in targeng.

8.7 Infrared Energy and Thermal Imaging Overview
A thermal imager generates an image based on temperature dierences. In a thermal image the hoest item in the scene appears as white and the coldest item as black, and all other items are represented as a gray scale value between white and black.
It may take some me to get used to the thermal imagery. Having a basic understanding of the dierences between thermal and daylight cameras can help with geng the best performance from the DM284.
One dience between thermal and daylight cameras has to do with where the energy comes from to create an image. When viewing an image with an ordinary camera, there has to be some source of visible light (something hot, such as the sun or lights) that reects o of the objects in the scene to the camera. The same is true with human eyesight; the vast majority of what people see is based on reected light energy. On the other hand, the thermal imager detects energy that is directly radiated from objects in the scene.
This is why hot objects such as parts on an engines and exhaust pipes appear white, while the sky, puddles of water and other cold objects appear dark (or cool). Scenes with familiar objects will be easy to interpret with some experience.
Infrared energy is part of a complete range of radiaon called the electromagnec spectrum. The electromagnec spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves (RADAR), and radio waves. The only dience is their wavelength or frequency. All of these forms of radiaon travel at the speed of light. Infrared radiaon lies between the visible and RADAR porons of the electromagnec spectrum.
The primary source of infrared radiaon is heat or thermal radiaon. Any object that has a temperature radiates in the infrared poron of the electromagnec spectrum. Even objects that are very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared. When an object is not quite hot enough to radiate visible light, it will emit most of its energy in the infrared. For example, hot charcoal may not give o light, but it does emit infrared radiaon, which we feel as heat. The warmer the object, the more infrared radiaon it emits.
Infrared imaging devices produce an image of invisible infrared or “heat” radiaon that is unseen by the human eye. There are no colors or “shades” of gray in infrared, only varying intensities of radiated energy. The infrared imager converts this energy into an image that we can interpret.
