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 moder-
ate injuries.
Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may lead to property damage
Indicates a user action.
iIndicates a user tip.
Measure Indicates a hardware or a button/menu in the software
1.2 Warnings
Connect the power supply and the display/output device in accordance with the safety regulations for electri-
cal equipment.
> Danger of injury
> Damage to or destruction of the camera
Avoid the alignment of the camera to intensive energy sources (e.g. high power laser or reflections of such
equipment)
> 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 shock 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.
> Effect on the accuracy of the measurement
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 Identification
The following applies to the thermoIMAGER TIM:
- EU directive 2004/108/EC
- EU directive 2011/65/EC, “RoHS” category 9
Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the quoted EU directives and the European
standards (EN) listed therein. The EC declaration of conformity is kept available according to EC regulation,
article 10 by the authorities responsible at
MICRO-EPSILON MESSTECHNIK
GmbH & Co. KG
Königbacher Straße 15
94496 Ortenburg / Germany
The system is designed for use in industry and laboratory and satisfies the requirements of the standards
- EN 61326-1: 2006
- EN 61326-2-3: 2006
- EN 61010-1: 2010
The system satisfies the requirements if they comply with the regulations described in the instruction manual
for installation and operation.
1.4 Proper 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 may only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 2..
- Use the system in such a way that in case of malfunctions or failure personnel or machinery are not endan-
gered.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention for safety-related applications.
