c) Alarm Rule: Use pull down menu to select choice (e.g., the above example is set to Above
(Average Temperature)).
d) Alarm Temperature: Input the temperature that will cause the alarm to trigger (e.g., the
above example is set at 40° C, so the device will alarm when its average temperature is
above 40° C).
e) Tolerance Temperature: Input the number of degrees that the Alarm Temperature needs
to vary (above or below, depending on the Alarm Rule) to cancel the alarm (e.g., in the
above example, when the temperature falls below 37° C, the alarm be canceled).
•Emissivity: This measurement is the target materialʼs effectiveness in emitting energy
as thermal radiation. Set the emissivity of your target. 0.96 is suitable for most targets.
•Distance: Input the number of meters for a straight line between the target and the device.
•Re lective Temperature: If there is any object reflecting to the target, e.g., a mirror, enter the
reflecting objectʼs temperature value. If not, skip this step.

3. Set the Image Fusion Ratio (0−100, de ault = 75): Adjusts the blending ratio of the optical and
thermal imagesʼ luminance components. 0 displays a fully optical image, 100 displays a fully thermal
image. All color in the image is from the thermal image.
4. Set the Border Fusion Ratio (0−100): The ratio of the optical edge information to the thermal image
at the current Image Fusion Ratio. The larger the ratio, the sharper object edges will appear.
