designed for surface
temperature measurement of infants and adults without contacting the human body.
Thermal and visual images are displayed on the LCD and can be saved to a Micro SD
Memory card. Additionally, the imager provides video recording with audio and play back.
• To prevent eye damage and personal injury, do not look into the laser. Do not point the
laser directly at people or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
• Do not disassemble or modify the thermal imager.
• Do not point the imager (with or without the lens cover) at intensive energy sources,
e.g. devices that emit laser radiation, or the sun. This can affect the accuracy of the
camera, and cause damage to the detector.
•
• Only use the correct equipment to discharge the battery. Using the incorrect
equipment can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery. Using the
incorrect equipment can caust the battery to become hot or cause an explosion.
• The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if they become damaged,
can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition. If there is
a leak from the battery and the fluid gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Flush
well with water and immediately get medical care.
• Do not put holes in the battery with objects. Do not hit the battery with a hammer.
• Do not step on the battery or apply strong impacts or shocks to it.
• Do not put the battery in or near a fire.
• Do not put the battery in direct sunlight or other high-temperature locations.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery.
• Always charge the battery in the special temperature range. The temperature range
temperatures outside this range can cause the battery to become hot or to explode. It
can also decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery.
• Do not get water or salt water on the battery or permit the battery to get wet.
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution. Do not use abrasives,
• Be careful when cleaning the infrared lens. Do not clean the infrared lens too
vigorously. This can damage the anti-reflective coating.
• Avoid condensation. Taking the imager from cold to hot will cause condensation in
thermal imager. To protect the imager, power on the device and wait until it becomes
warm enough for the condensation to evaporate.
• Storage: If you do not use the imager for a long period of time, put the device in a cool
and dry environment. Battery will discharge over time; therefore, you should charge
the device occasionally to prevent damage to the battery.

7. Operation Instructions
Before using the imager for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of 1.5 hours.
The battery status is shown by the indicator in the upper-left corner of the screen.
To charge the battery, follow these instructions:
1. Plug the power adapter into an wall outlet and connect the DC output to the thermal
imager’s power socket, the charge light will turn on. The battery indicator becomes “
> > ”, while the battery charges.
2. Charge until the charge indicator becomes , and the charge light turns off.
3. Disconnect power adapter when the battery is full charged.
Make sure the imager is near room temperature before connecting it to the charger.
Do not charge in extremely hot or cold areas. The battery capacity may be decreased if
charged in an extreme temperature environment.
To turn the camera on, push and hold the Power Button for two seconds. Repeat to turn
the device off.
The thermal imager needs sufficient warm-up time for the most accurate temperature
measurements and best image quality. This time can often vary by environmental
conditions. It is best to wait a minimum of 10 minutes for the device to completely warmup.

, which means the
temperature measurement area of the target need to be 2 to 3 times larger than that
IFOV represents the smallest objects that the thermal imager can detect or
see. IFOV represents the smallest object form which an accurate temperature can
be measured by the thermal imager.

To adjust the focus, turn the lens focus adjuster clockwise or counter-clockwise. When the
target comes into focus, it shows a sharper image. When the target moves out of focus, the
thermal image becomes blurry.
Note: Correct focus is important in all imaging applications. Correct focus makes sure that
the infrared energy is correctly directed onto the pixels of the detector. Without the correct
focus, the thermal image can be blurry, and the radiometric data will be inaccurate. Out-of-
focus infrared images are frequently unusable or of little value.
The thermal image of the device becomes blurry when the imager does not correct after
a few minutes or the device changes targets. To get fine thermal image, the imager needs
to be corrected.
The imager has two modes for correcting, Manual and Auto Mode. In Manual Mode, push
the Power button and the imager will correct itself. In Auto Mode, the imager can correct
itself automatically while imaging.
• Press the “up” button, and image zooms out 10%.
Long press will continue to zoom out.
• Press the “down” button, and image zooms in 10%.
Long press will continue to zoom in.
When zoom in or zoom out, the zoom factor “1X” displays in the upper status bar.
• In desktop view., press the “right” button and hold about 2 seconds, the LED light will
turn on.
• In desktop view., press the “right” button and hold about 2 seconds again, the LED
light will turn off.

• In desktop view. Press the left button and hold about 2 seconds again, the
laser will turn off.
All objects radiate infrared energy. The amount of energy radiated varies based
on the actual surface temperature and the surface emissivity of the object. The
Thermal imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the object and
uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Many common objects and materials such as painted metal, wood, water, skin,
and cloth are particularly good at radiating energy and it is easy to get relatively
accurate measurements. For surfaces that are good at radiating energy (high
shiny surfaces or unpainted metals as they have an emissivity of <0.6. These
materials are not good at radiating energy and are classified as low emissivity.
To more accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity
correction is necessary. Adjusting the emissivity setting will allow the imager
to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual temperature. For more
information please see Emissivity Adjustment below.
The correct emissivity value is important in order to receive the most accurate
temperature measurement. Emissivity of a surface can have a large effect
temperatures the imager observes. Understanding the emissivity of the surface
may allow the user to obtain more accurate temperature measurements.
Note: Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make reliable and consistent
measurements problematic. The lower the emissivity, the more potential there
is for error within the device’s calculations. Errors may still occur even when
adjustments are performed properly.
Emissivity is set directly or can be chosen from the list of values based on some
common materials. See chart on next page.

The following table gives typical emissivity of important materials:
Material Emissivity
Water 0.96
Stainless steel 0.14
Aluminum plate 0.09
Asphalt 0.96
Concrete 0.97
Cast iron 0.81
Rubber 0.95
Wood 0.85
Brick 0.75
Tape 0.96
Brass plate 0.06
Human skin 0.98
PVC plastic 0.93
Polycarbonate 0.80
Oxidized copper 0.78
Rust 0.80
Paint 0.90
Soil 0.93
Using the offset factor, the reflection is calculated out due to the low emissivity, improving
temperature measurements. In most cases, the reflected temperature is identical to the
ambient air temperature. The reflected temperature has little effect on objects with high
emissivity. The reflected temperature can be set individually.
Follow these steps to get the right value for the reflected temperature.
1. Set the emissivity to 1.0.
2. Adjust the optical lens to near focus.
3. Looking away from the object, take a measurement and freeze image.
4. Determine the average value of the image and use value as the reflected temperature.
