1. Overview
P. 2
IR0001 is an uncooled thermal imaging camera that integrates
surface temperature measurement and real-time thermal image.
With this product, the potential problems can be identied on the
color display screen which is helpful for users to locate the problem,
take readings and solve the issue.
The product has a visual camera integrated to increase the dierenti-
ation degree. The thermal images and full vision images can be
stored in the detachable memory card. IR0001 can store up to 25,000
images on the micro SD card. The image can be stored in PC to
generate a report and print.
The following are the major features of IR0001:
• High accuracy: The adjustable radiation coecient increases
the measurement accuracy of reective
surfaces.
• Time-saving: The traditional infrared thermometer needs to
measure every component one by one, this is
not necessary for IR0001.
• 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.

1. Overview
P. 3
The product can be utilized in many elds, for instance:
1. Detect spills and leaks of chemicals which have dierent
thermal signatures to the surroundings.
2. Fire ghting: Vision can be obscured by smoke and debris in the
event of a re, thermal imaging can see through this and locate
victims or re spots.
3. Locate the source of abnormal leaking of heat of a house or a
machine, nd out the problem area and x 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 nd their surface body temperature.
7. Night vision: Measuring the electromagnetic energies given o
when objects emit heat, the IR0001 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.
IR0001 is the ideal selection for electrician, maintenance personnel,
technicians and even the emergency personnel.

Please read the instructions carefully so as to
ensure accurate measurement results and safety:
DANGER
Do not use the device in
explosive, ammable or
corrosive environments.
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.
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.
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.

background
P. 7
Set the temperature compensation for reective background in
the option of background. The background temperature can be
set between 0°C and +36°C.
The surface temperature and measurement accuracy of
measured object may be inuenced by over-hot or over-cold
object (When the radiation coecient of the surface of the
measured object is low, this phenomenon is obvious).
Under many situations, the temperature of reective background
should be adjusted to get the optimum measured result.

“Color palette” menu can change the representation color of the
infrared image displayed on the screen or captured. A number of
color palettes are available as below:
1. Gray-scale color:
• provides balanced linear color, help to reveal full details
2. High-contrast color:
•emphasize the displayed color, and the color contrast of
high-temperature and low-temperature can therefore be

P.18
14. Emissivity
The emissivity of the surface of a material is its eectiveness 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) will reect heat energy, so it is easy to obtain high accuracy as
a result.
Choosing the correct setting of the emissivity value of dierent
objects and materials is very important for achieving accurate
temperature measurement. The surface emissivity will greatly aect
the measured temperature and therefore adjusting the emissivity
value to match it is essential.
