1. Safety
The handling of the system assumes knowledge of the instruction manual.
1.1 Symbols Used
The following symbols are used in the instruction manual.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or mode-
rate injuries.
Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided.
Indicates a user action.
iIndicates a tip for users.
Measure Indicates hardware or a software button/menu.
1.2 Warnings
Connect the power supply and the display/output device in accordance with the safety regulations for electri-
cal equipment.
> Risk of injury
> Damage to or destruction of the camera
Avoid the alignment of the camera to intensive energy sources (e.g. devices which emit laser radiation or
reflections of such equipment). This is also valid if the camera is switched off.
> Effect on the accuracy of the measurement
> Irreparable defect of the infrared detector
Avoid static electricity, arc welders, and induction heaters. Keep away from very strong EMF (electromagnetic
fields).
> Damage to or destruction of the camera

Safety
thermoIMAGER TIM
Avoid shocks, impacts and vibration to the camera.
> Damage to or destruction of the camera
The power supply must not exceed the specified limits.
> Damage to or destruction of the camera
No solvent-based cleaning agents may have an effect on the camera (neither for the optics nor the housing).
> Damage to or destruction of the camera
Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature.
> Incorrect display of the device
Do not mount the camera with external mounting devices (thread/ tripod connection).
> Damage to the camera (thread)
Protect the USB cable against damage.
> Failure of the camera

1.3 Notes on CE Marking
The following apply to the thermoIMAGER TIM:
- EU Directive 2014/30/EU
- EU Directive 2011/65/EU, “RoHS” category 9
Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited and the European
harmonized standards (EN) listed therein. The EU Declaration of Conformity is available to the responsible
authorities according to EU Directive, article 10, at:
MICRO-EPSILON MESSTECHNIK

The measuring system is designed for use in industrial and laboratory environments and meets the require-
ments.
1.4 Intended Use
- The thermoIMAGER TIM is designed for use in industrial and laboratory areas. It is used for measuring the
surface temperature based on the emitted energy of objects, see Chap. 10.
- The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 2..
- The system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material
goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the controller.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.
