UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Your package should include:
1 IRC-120 or IRC-120-CN Thermal Camera
3 1.5 V AA batteries
1 2 G micro SD card (installed)
1 Standard SD card adapter
1 User manual
1 Wrist strap
If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to
the place of purchase for an exchange.
Note: Batteries do not come pre-installed. Please refer to the Maintenance
and Battery Replacement section for further instruction.
The product will arrive with a thin plastic screen protector over the display.
Please remove before using the product.

MENU MODE
Changing Settings in the Menu
Once the product is powered on, reach the menu by clicking left on the
power button. Settings that can be manipulated include emissivity, flashlight,
UV light, laser sight, hot and cold markers, center point marker, color palette,
°F/°C, timed auto power off, and date & time.
Enabled options will appear as blue squares while disabled options will
appear as black squares.
Emissivity

MEASUREMENT
The emissivity of the surface of a material describes its effectiveness in
emitting energy as thermal radiation. Quantitatively, emissivity is the ratio
of the thermal radiation from a surface to the radiation from an ideal black
surface at the same temperature as given by the Stefan–Boltzmann law. Refer
to Table 1 for the emissivity adjustment.
In measurement mode, emissivity level is shown on the bottom right of the
screen. Emissivity can be changed to values between 0.10-1.00 in menu.
Note: Surfaces with an emissivity <0.60 make reliable and consistent
determination of actual temperatures problematic. The lower the emissivity,
the more potential error is associated with the temperature measurement
calculations of the product, even when emissivity and reflected background
adjustments are attempted and performed properly.

temperature measurement.
