1. Overview
IR0005 is an infrared camera that integrates surface temperature measurement and
real-time thermal image. With this product, potential problems can be identified on
the color display screen which is helpful for users to locate the source problem, take
readings and solve the issue.
The product has a visual camera integrated for comparing images. The thermal
images and full vision images can be stored in the device and can be obtained through
USB or transferred to a computer to generate reports and printing.
The following are the major features of IR0005:
High accuracy: The adjustable radiation coefficient increases the measurement
accuracy of reflective surfaces.
Time-saving : The traditional infrared thermometer needs to measure every
component one by one, this is not necessary for IR0005.
Easy to use : Turn on the device and start measuring temperatures straight
away.
User-friendly : The thermal point and cold point temperature automatically
marks the area with highest or lowest temperature in real time.
Adjustable: Five types of color palettes and emissivity values provided.
The product can be utilized in many fields, for instance:
1. Detect spills and leaks of chemicals which have different thermal signatures
to the surroundings,
2. Fire fighting: Vision can be obscured by smoke and debris in the event of a fire,
thermal imaging can see through this and locate victims or fire spots.
3. Locate the source of abnormal leaking of heat of a house or a machine, find out
the problem area and fix it.
4. Enable drug-enforcement units to locate cannabis plants by detecting abnormal
amount of heat spot in buildings.
5. Moisture detection: Areas with lower temperatures to its uniform surroundings
can be a source of moisture staining or damage.
6. Measure body temperatures: Point the thermal imaging camera at a person to
find their surface body temperature.
7. Night vision: Measuring the electromagnetic energies given off when objects
emit heat, the IR0005 translates those energies into visible light for users to see
them in the dark.
8. Building inspection: Check that heat is retained uniformly in a building.
IR0005 is the ideal selection for electrician, maintenance personnel, technicians and
even the emergency personnel.

2. Considerations and Safety Maintenance
Please read the instructions carefully so as to ensure accurate measurement results and
safety:
Do not use the device in explosive, flammable or corrosive environments.
Since the product is a precision electronic and sensitive optical device. Do not
drop it or allow impacts to occur to prevent damage.
Do not dismantle the product, doing so can damage it and revoke the warranty.
When the product works, there is a tiny clicking sound every several seconds.
This is a normal phenomenon as the lens captures images to produce electronic
noises.
It is suggested to use the attached USB cable.
Please use a damp cloth or gentle soap to clean the enclosure of the device. Do
not use abradant, isopropanol or solvent to clean. Special optical lens cleaner
should be used to clean the screen.

The menu of color palette can change the false color on the display screen or capture
infrared image. There are five types of color palettes provided: rainbow, iron oxide
red, cold color, black & white and white & black.
Suitable selection of color palette displays the details of the target objective better:
1. Rainbow, iron oxide red and cold color
-Focus on display of color
-suitable for high heat contrast
-improving the color contrast between high and low temperature
2. Black & white and white & black color
-provide even linear color.

12. Emissivity
The emissivity of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal
radiation. The emissivity of the product can be adjusted from 0.10 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 high accuracy.
Choosing the correct setting of the emissivity value of different objects and materials is very
important for achieving accurate temperature measurement. The surface emissivity will
greatly affect the measured temperature and therefore adjusting the emissivity value to match
it is essential.
13. The Table of Emissivity Value
The product is provided with four types of object measurement modes:
1. Coarse object (easy to give out energy)(0.95);
2. Semi-matte object (0.80);
3. Semi-shiny object (0.60);
4. Shiny object (0.30);
