1. Overview
IR0001 is an uncooled infrared camera that integrates surface temperature
measurement and real-time thermal image. With this product, the potential problems
can be displayed on color display screen clearly which is helpful for users to locate
the measurement cursor of the central point quickly and measure the temperature.
The product is provided with a visual camera to increase the differentiation 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 coefficient and reflection background
compensation increase the measurement accuracy of half
reflection surface.
Time-saving : The traditional infrared thermometer needs to measure every
component one by one while it is not necessary for thermal image
of IR0001.
Easy to use : Test can be conducted in several seconds after powering on.
User-friendly : The thermal point and cold point temperature mark guide the
users to the area with highest or lowest temperature of thermal
image.
Highly selectable: Five types of color palettes and emissivity values provided.
The product can be utilized in fields of medical treatment, for instance:
1. Detect spills and leaks of chemicals which have different thermal signatures
with the surroundings,
2. Fire fighting: search where the fire burns and locate people trapped by fire,
3. Locate the source of abnormal leaking of heat of a house or a machine, find out
the problem area more quickly,
4. Allow drug-enforcement units to find where Marijuana is planted,
5. Moisture detection in walls and roofs,
6. Measure body temperatures,
7. Night vision,
8. Building inspection and etc.
IR0001 is the ideal selection for electrician, maintenance personnel, technicians and
even the emergency.

2. Considerations and Safety Maintenance
Please read the instructions carefully so as to ensure accurate measurement results and
safety:
Do not use the device under explosive, flammable or corrosive environment.
Since the product is a precision electronic and sensitive optical device. Do not
impact and drop it to avoid damage.
Do not dismantle and remodel the products.
When the product works, there is a tiny clicking sound for every several seconds.
This is a normal phenomenon as the lens captures images to produce electronic
noises.
Measured temperature might be lower than actual temperature because of
reflective surface and these surfaces might cause potential burning hazard to
users.
Please use damp cloth or weak 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.

6. Basic Operations
6.1. Elimination of noise
1. Start up the instrument.
2. Put the head of sensor close to the worktop.
3. Press “ ” key for 5 seconds to eliminate the noise.
6.2. LED light
Press “image capturing” key for 5 seconds to turn on LED light.
6.3. Battery Installation
1. Slide the battery cover open for inserting new batteries into IR0001.
2. Ensure polarity of batteries inserted are correct.
3. Close the battery cover.
6.4. Product Operation
1. Press “Start-up” key for 5 seconds to power up the instrument.
2. Press “menu” for 1 second to enter mode setting of basic functions.
3. The LCD shows 5 function setting options on the screen, press “ ”/“ ” to
scroll.
4. Select the function for adjustment by the yellow option box
5. Press “select” and select “menu” option and edit the value.
6. Press “ ”/“ ” to edit the value.
7. After adjustment, confirm the new value and press “menu” key to exit the edit
mode.

7. Time setting
1. Under Time Setting menu, press “ ”/“ ” to select digit for adjustment.
2. Press “ ”/“ ” to increase or decrease the time value.
3. After setting, press “menu” to exit.
8. Measurement
-The measured temperature at the pixel center is displayed at the upper left corner.
-The radiation coefficient is displayed at the upper right corner.
1. Move the product until hot spot or cold spot coincides with the center of pixel.
2. Direct the product to the object to get the optimum measured results. (object
temperature is higher or lower than the surroundings temperature.)

9. Color palette
“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 improved.
3. Iron red and rainbow color: provide a mixed high-contrast gray-scale color palette.
10. Temperature of reflective background
Set the temperature compensation for reflective 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
influenced by over-hot or over-cold object (When the radiation coefficient of the
surface of the measured object is low, this phenomenon is obvious).
Under many situations, the temperature of reflective background should be adjusted to
get the optimum measured result.
High contrast
Iron red
Rainbow

11. Marking of spot temperature
Turn on or off the marking of spot temperature:
1. If turning on, the marking of spot temperature indicates that the hot or cold spot on
screen needs additional appraisal.
2. If turning off, it indicates that user can focus on the measured pixel per time.
12. Image mixing
IR0001 can capture visible image of infrared image with the temperature distribution
of target area clearly displayed on screen, resulting in a easier understanding of
infrared image.
To use this function, press “ ”/“ ” to adjust the mixed image from 0% to 100%.

14. 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 relatively correct
measurement value.
Correct setting of the emissivity value of different objects and materials is very important for
carrying out the most accurate temperature measurement. The surface emissivity will produce
giant impact on surface temperature measured by the product.
15. The Emissivity Value of Common
Materials
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);
