3. Preliminary Acquaintance with
Infrared Thermal Imager
4. Overview
For a long time, infrared thermal imaging detection technology has become
an important means to ensure Industrial safety in developed countries. The
application eld includes electric power, metallurgy, petro-chemistry,
machinery,coal, trac, re control and national defense, etc. It can not only
carries out real-time detection at high voltage, high current and high speed
operation to perform real-time detection for production and instrument but
also need not power o the power supply, stop the machine or stop the
production to nd the potential problems and prevent occurrence of
malfunction. The“non contact” modern detection technology is safe, reliable
and quick. It is a type of technical revolution compared with traditional
contact detection method. The infrared thermal imaging technology is widely
used in the following elds:
4. Overview
This product is a light and portable handheld infrared thermal imager with
simple operation and a wide range of application scenarios. It look omfortable
providing clear and delicate thermal imaging, so it is an ideal outdoor device.
It supports several pseudo-color modes with one-click switching, capable of
distinguishing the location of target in the scene in a timely manner. To take
images, you can save thermal images into this device, read images by USB or
save them into your computer used to generate reports and print them.
• Power equipment, transmission, transformer line inspection;
• Hidden re source search in re protection;
• Personnel search and rescue in the re, and re command;
• Analyze the location and heat loss of leak points in heat pipes and
heating equipment;
• Determining the location of the heating fault of the operating train;
• Security department night monitoring.

Please use damp cloth or weak soap to clean the enclosure of the device. Don’t
use abradant, isopropanol or solvent to clean. The lens and screen should be
cleaned with use of cleaning agents for professional optical glasses.
5. Cleaning of the Products
6. Lens Maintenance
Prevent damage of the infrared lens:
• Clean the infrared lens carefully. The lens is provided with rened
antireection coating.
• Don’t clean with force to prevent damage of the anti-reection coating.
• Use a cleaning solution for lens maintenance, such as alcohol-based
commercial lens cleaners, alcohol, and a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
Compressed air tanks can be used to remove loose particles.
Clean the lens:
• The compressed air tank or dry nitrogen ion gun (if applicable) may be used
to blow the loose particles on the lens surface.
• Dip the lint free cloth in alcohol.
• Squeeze the excessive alcohol in the cloth or apply the lint free cloth on dry
cloth lightly.
• Wipe the lens surface by making circular motion. Then discard the cloth.
• If it is necessary to repeat above step, please use new cloth to dip with the
cleaning solution to wipe.

1.1. Description of image overlap
The image overlap makes it easier for users to understand infrared images by
using aligned visual and infrared images. By overlapping images, a visual
image of each infrared image can be captured to accurately display the
temperature distribution of the target area and share it more eectively with
others.

4.1.Color Palette Description
The palette can be used to change the pseudo-color display of the infrared
image on the display. Some tune Swatches are better suited for specic
applications and can be set up as needed.
The palette is divided into: rainbow, iron, cold color, white hot, black hot, ve
palettes.
These palettes work best with high thermal contrast and provide additional
color contrast between high and low temperatures. Suitable selection of color
palette displays the details of the target objective better. Rainbow, iron, 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 hot and white hot color
palettes provide even linear color.
The following is the image of the same object with selection of dierent
color palettes.

5.1. 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 reect the heat energy eectively. 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 outenergy. For
semi-matte objects that give out less energy, 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 coecient. 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 measure ment result.

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-dene”option (please refer to the table of
