1. Overview
This product is an infrared camera that integrates surface temperature
measurement and real-time thermal image. The traditional inferred
thermometer needs to measure every component one by one while it is not
necessary for infrared imaging camera, thus saving time. The potential
problems may be displayed on color display screen clearly. Moreover, the
central point measurement cursor is used to locate quickly and accurately
to measure the temperature of the target object.
In order to increase the differentiation, the product is provided with a visible
light camera. The thermal images and visible images are stored in the
device and can be read through USB or stored in a computer to generate a
report or for print.
The product can be used in fields of medical treatment, fire fighting,
archaeology, traffic, agriculture, geology, energy, smelting, electronic
manufacture, etc and is the ideal selection for electrician and maintenance
personnel and technicians and can be used to find the problem area
quickly.
The following major functions increase the product’s accuracy and usability:
The radiation coefficient may be adjusted to increase the measurement
accuracy of objects with half reflection surface.
The highest temperature and lowest temperature cursor may guide the
users to the areas with highest and lowest temperature of the thermal
images.
The selectable color palette.
2. Considerations and Safety Maintenance
Please read the instruction for use carefully in order to ensure correct
measurement result:
Don’t use the device in explosive, flammable or corrosive environment.
The product belongs to precision electronic and sensitive optical
devices. Don’t impact and drop it to avoid damage.
Don’t dismantle and remodel the products.
When the product works, there is light sound of clicking every several
seconds. This is normal phenomenon that the lens captures images.
Please use damp cloth or weak soap to clean the enclosure of the
device.Don’t use abradant, isopropanol or solvent to clean. Special
optical lens cleaner is used to clean the screen.
3. Read images
Open the USB protective cover as shown in . Use USB line to
connect the USB port and then computer to read the images or
save it into computers.images or save it into computers.
The supported operating system through verification includes:
winxp, win7, win 8, win10, Apple system.
It is suggested to use the attached USB line or USB line with
higher quality.
Note:
When connecting with a computer, pull off the data line after
selecting “pop out device safely” to avoid causing file system
damage and other problems. If “unable to save” and other
problems occur, you may find the hard disc in the computer and
fix it.

The following is the image of the same object with selection of different
color palettes.
8.1 Color Palette Description
The menu of color palette can change the false color of infrared thermal
image. The product provides five types of color palette: rainbow, iron oxide
red, cold color, white heat and black heat.
Suitable selection of color palette displays the details of the target objective
better. Rainbow, iron oxide red and cold color palettes focus on display of
color. Such color palettes are very suitable for high heat contrast and are
used to improve the color contrast between high temperature and low
temperature. But the black & white and white & black color palettes provide
even linear color.

9. Introduction to “emissivity” sub-menu
9.1 Emissivity Description
The emissivity of the product can be adjusted from 0.01 to 1.00 with the
default value of 0.95. Many common objects and materials (such as timber,
water, skin and textile fabric) can reflect the heat energy effectively. So it is
easy to obtain relatively correct measurement value. The emissivity is usually
set as 0.95 when the coarse objects that are easy to give out energy. For
semi-matte objects that give out less energy, the emissivity is usually about
0.85 and the emissivity of semi-gloss objects is 0.6. The shiny objects are
divided into materials with low radiation coefficient. The emissivity is usually
set as 0.3 at the time of measurement. Correct setting of the value of
emissivity is very important for you to carry out the most correct temperature
measurement. The surface emissivity will produce giant impact on surface
temperature measured by the product. Understanding the surface emissivity
will enable you to obtain correct temperature measurement result.
The operating step is as the following:
9.2. Emissivity setting
The product is provided with four types of object measurement modes:
Coarse object (0.95)
Semi-matte object (0.85)
Semi-shiny object (0.60)
Shiny object (0.30)
According to the characteristics of the measured objects, users may set the
emissivity value through the “self-define” option (please refer to the table of
“emissivity of common materials”).

Note: This function provides a fast database and application upgrade
method without changing the entire firmware. The database and
application files are packaged by USB drive mapping and automatically
updated to the machine.
The specific steps are as follows:
1、In the case of booting, connect the USB interface of the machine to
the PC, and identify the USB flash drive.
2. Open the USB flash drive and copy the upgrade package with the
pak suffix to the root directory of the USB flash drive.
As shown below:
3、After powering off and then rebooting, check whether the version
number has been updated. The update indicates that the upgrade is
successful. If it is not updated, the upgrade fails. Repeat the above 3
steps for the upgrade failure.
Note: The application upgrade package must be placed in the root
directory of the USB drive. It cannot be renamed or allowed to exist in
multiple different versions.

12.“Image overlapping” submenu
12.1. Description of image overlapping
Image overlapping makes it easier for users to understand the infrared
images by using aligned visible images and infrared images. The use
of image overlapping can capture the visible image of every infrared
image so as to display the temperature distribution in the target region
correctly and share with other people more effectively.
