Introduction
The Fluke Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR, and TiR1 Thermal Imagers (hereafter
“the Imager”) are handheld imaging cameras used for predictive maintenance,
equipment troubleshooting, and verification. All these Imagers produce
thermal and visual images on a 640 X 480 display. Thermal and visual images
are displayed on the Imager LCD and can be saved to an SD Memory card.
Transferring images to a PC is accomplished by removing the SD memory
card and connecting it to a PC through the included card reader. SmartView
software is included for image analysis and report generation from these saved
images.
Thermal and visual images can be presented simultaneously as a full thermal
image or as a Picture-In-Picture (PIP) image. The thermal image temperature
range starts at -20 C, and goes up to +100 C for the TiRx, TiR and TiR1,
+250 C for the Ti9 and Ti10 and +350 C for the Ti25. The thermal image
can be displayed using any one of a number of color palettes, depending on
the model.
Imager power is supplied by a rechargeable Nickel Metal-Hydride battery. For
Imagers that support IR-Fusion, a full visual image (640 X 480) can be
displayed and stored with each IR image.
In addition to the features mentioned above, the Ti25 and TiR1 provide voice
recording for annotating saved images.
The Fluke Ti9 and TiRx Thermal Imagers have the same basic specifications
and operation as the Ti10 and TiR imagers, respectively, but without IR-
Fusionor visible image capabilities. They operate in full-time thermal image
mode. Both the Ti9 and TiRx Thermal Imagers can be upgraded to a Ti10 or
TiR, respectively, to include the IR-Fusionand visible image features. Please
contact Fluke or your local Fluke representative for more information and
pricing for this upgrade.
Note
Not all models are available in all areas.

Charging the Battery
Before using the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for at least two
hours. The Imager’s battery condition is displayed in the upper-left corner of
the display. When the last segment of the battery icon extinguishes, the Imager
will shut down and will require recharging before operating again. To charge
the Imager’s battery:
W Caution
To avoid damage to the Imager, remove it from the DC car
charger before starting or jump starting the vehicle.
Ensure the Imager is near room temperature before connecting it to
the charger. See the charging temperature specification. Do not
charge the Imager in hot or cold places. Charging in extreme
temperatures reduces the battery pack’s ability to hold a charge.
1. Plug the ac input of the battery charger into an ac wall outlet.
2. Plug the battery charger’s dc output into the Imagers ac adapter socket..
While the battery is charging, the battery icon appears as Awhile the
Imager is operating. With the Imager off, bappears in the display while
connected to the battery charger.
Keep the Imager attached to the charger until the battery condition icon
indicates a full charge. With the Imager off, the battery charge icon will have
four full bars. With the Imager on, turn the Imager off to view the battery
condition icon. Removing the Imager from the charger before a full charge is
indicated will deprive the battery of a full charge and thus shorten the run time.

Turning the Imager On and Off
To turn the Imager on or off, press the center softkey (2) for two seconds.
