Achieving a good thermal image
7
These are the functions and settings you need to experiment with to achieve a good ther-
mal image:
• Adjusting the temperature scale.
• Selecting a suitable temperature range.
• Selecting a suitable image mode.
• Changing the color palette.
7.1 To keep in mind
• A thermal camera has a resolution limit. This depends on the size of the detector, the
lens, and the distance to the target. Use the center of the spot tool as a guide to the
minimum possible object size, and get closer if necessary. Make sure to stay away
from dangerous areas and live electrical components.
• Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the target. Be observant of re-
flections, especially at low emissivities—you, the camera, or the surroundings may be-
come the main source of reflection.
• Select a zone of high emissivity, e.g., an area with a matte surface, to perform a
measurement.
• Blank objects, i.e., those with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the cam-
era, because they mainly reflect the environment.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.
• Various types of faults, e.g., those in a building’s construction, may result in the same
type of thermal pattern.
• Correctly analyzing an infrared image requires professional knowledge about the
application.
7.2 Temperature scale
An infrared image can be adjusted automatically or manually.
In automatic mode, the camera continuously adjusts the level and span for the best im-
age presentation. The temperature scale on the screen shows the upper and lower tem-
peratures of the current span.
In manual mode, you can adjust the temperature scale to values close to the temperature
of a specific object in the image. This will make it possible to detect anomalies and small-
er temperature differences in the part of the image of interest.
7.2.1 Example 1
Here are two infrared images of a building. In the left image, which is auto-adjusted, the
large temperature span between the clear sky and the heated building makes a correct
analysis difficult. You can analyze the building in more detail if you change the tempera-
ture scale to values close to the temperature of the building.

Achieving a good thermal image
7
7.2.2 Example 2
Here are two infrared images of an isolator in a power line. To make it easier to analyze
the temperature variations in the isolator, the temperature scale in the right image has
been changed to values close to the temperature of the isolator.
Automatic Manual
7.2.3 Manually adjusting the temperature scale
1. Tap the menu button .
2. Tap Temperature scale and then tap Manual . This displays a wheel next to
the temperature scale.
3. To enhance the details of a certain point of interest in the image, tap that point on the
screen. The image will be auto-adjusted based on the thermal content of the area
around the tapped point.
4. To change the level, scroll the wheel up/down.
5. To change the span, do the following:
5.1. Tap the temperature limit you want to keep unchanged. This locks the limit.
5.2. Scroll the wheel up/down to change the value of the other temperature limit.
7.2.4 Locking the temperature scale
You can lock the temperature scale.
• To lock the temperature scale, tap the upper and the lower temperature limits.
• To unlock the temperature scale, tap the temperature limits again.
Note
• When a temperature limit (upper and/or lower) is locked, the auto-adjust by touch
function is disabled.
• If you switch to automatic mode, the temperature scale will automatically unlock.
A typical situation where you would lock the temperature scale is when looking for tem-
perature anomalies in two items with a similar design or construction.
For example, you have two cables, and you suspect that one is overheated. With the
camera in automatic mode, direct the camera toward the cable that has a normal temper-
ature. Then activate the manual mode and lock the temperature scale.
When you direct the camera, with the temperature scale locked, toward the suspected
overheated cable, that cable will appear in a lighter color in the thermal image if its tem-
perature is higher than the first cable.
If you instead use the automatic mode, the color for the two items might appear the same
despite their temperature being different.
7.2.5 Showing/hiding the temperature scale
In some situations, you may want to hide the temperature scale for a better view.
#T810539; r. AC/67331/67368; en-US 12

Achieving a good thermal image
7
1. Tap the Settings button .
2. Tap Device settings >Show temperature scale.
3. Show/hide the temperature scale by toggling the Show temperature scale switch.
7.3 Temperature range
The camera is calibrated for different temperature ranges. For accurate temperature
measurements, you must change the Camera temperature range setting to suit the ex-
pected temperature of the object you are inspecting.
Note For more information, see section , page .
To change the temperature range, do the following:
1. Tap the Settings button .
2. Tap Camera temperature range.
3. Select the appropriate temperature range.
7.4 Image modes
7.4.1 General
The camera can capture thermal and visual images at the same time. By choosing the
image mode, you select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
•Thermal MSX (Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging): An infrared image where the edges
of the objects are enhanced with visual image details is displayed.
