warranty is expired the manufacturer guarantees additional 6 months warranty for all repaired or substituted
product components. Warranty does not apply to damages, which result from misuse or neglect. The
warranty also expires if you open the product. The manufacturer is not liable for consequential damage. If a
failure occurs during the warranty period the product will be replaced, calibrated or repaired without further
charges. The freight costs will be paid by the sender. The manufacturer reserves the right to exchange

1. Welcome!
Thank you for choosing the optris PI thermal imager!
The optris PI calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared
energy of objects [►Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional
detector (FPA - focal plain array) allows a measurement of an area and will be
shown as thermal image using standardized palettes.
The radiometric processing of the picture data enables the user to do a
comfortable detailed analysis with the software PI Connect.
Please take care of the following notes:
Notes
The optris PI is a precise instrument and contains a sensitive infrared detector and a high-
quality lens. The alignment of the camera to intensive energy sources (high power laser or
reflections of such equipment, e.g.) can have effect on the accuracy of the measurement or
can cause an irreparable defect of the infrared detector.
The mounting should be made only via the mounting threads or tripod connection the
housing is providing.
Avoid static electricity, arc welders, and induction heaters. Keep away from very strong
EMF (electromagnetic fields).
Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature.
In case of problems or questions which may arise when you use the infrared camera,
please contact our service department.

3. Maintenance
Lens cleaning
Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. The lens surface can be cleaned with a soft, humid
tissue moistened with water or a water based glass cleaner.
Note
Never use cleaning compounds which contain solvents (neither for the lens nor for the housing).
