Safety
• To prevent eye damage and personal injury, do not look into the laser
• Do not point laser directly at people or animals or indirectly off
reective surfaces
• Do not disassemble or do modications to the Thermal Imager
• Do not point the Thermal Imager (with or without the lens cover) at
intensive energy sources as this can damage the Thermal Imager
• Do not use the Thermal Imager in a temperature higher than 50°C
(122°F) or lower than -20°C (-4°F)
• Only use the correct equipment to charge the battery
• Do not disassemble or do a modication to the battery
• Do not put the battery in or near a re, or in direct sunlight, or other
high-temperature locations
• Always charge the battery between 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)
• Do not get water or salt water on the battery, or permit the battery to
get wet
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution
• Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the case
or lens/screen
• Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously, this can damage the
anti-reective coating
• Remove the battery from the Thermal Imager if not in use for an
extended period of time
• Store the Thermal Imager in cool and dry environment

Operating Instructions
Before you use the Thermal Imager for the rst time, charge the battery
for a minimum of 1.5 hours. To charge the battery, refer to the "Battery
Instructions" section of this manual.
To turn the Thermal Imager on or off,
press and hold the Power Button for three
seconds. You can also turn the Thermal
Imager off by pressing the Power Button,
and sliding the arrow icon to the right.
Focus
Correct focus is important in all imaging applications. Without the correct
focus, the image can be blurry and the radiometric data will be inaccurate.
Out-of-focus infrared images are frequently unusable or of little value. This
Thermal Imager has focus-free in manual mode. To adjust the focus rotate
the IR lens.
Shutter
A shutter is pivoted into the ray path in order to make a temperature
reference available for image correction. The self calibration shutter in this
Thermal Imager can be set to Manual or Auto. To manually activate the
shutter, press the Shutter Button. To activate or adjust the shutter Auto
Mode please refer to the Settings Menu section of this manual.
Optical Lens
Rotate the Lens Lock counter-clockwise to remove the optical lens.
The optical lens that is supplied with the Thermal imager has the
following specications:
Focal Length: 7.5mm Horizontal FOV: 29.8°
IFOV: 3.33mrad Vertical FOV: 22.6°

Emissivity
This Thermal Imager measures infrared energy from the surface of the
object and uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Surfaces that are good at radiating energy (high emissivity), the
emissivity factor is ≥0.90. Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals are not
good at radiating energy (low emissivity) have an emissivity of <0.6.
To more accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity
correction is necessary. Emissivity is set directly as a value or from a list
of emissivity values for some common materials. The global emissivity
displays on the LCD Screen as "E=x.xx".
The following table gives typical emissivity of some materials:
Material Emissivity
Asphalt 0.95
Concrete 0.95
Hard plaster 0.90
Wood (natural) 0.93
Lime Stone 0.98
Ballast chipping 0.95
Paper (every color) 0.95
Plastics non lm 0.95
Tissue (fabric) 0.95
Sand 0.90
Glass wool 0.90
Melted asphalt 0.93
Screed/pavement 0.93
Foamed polystyrene 0.94
Material Emissivity
Drywall 0.95
Render 0.94
Smoothing cement 0.90
Lacquer 0.92
Latex paint 0.97
Wallpaper 0.93
Tilling 0.93
Parquet oor 0.90
Laminate 0.90
PVC-Floor 0.92
Brick 0.93
Cliff 0.97
Roong cardboard 0.93
Stucco 0.91

Reflected Temperature
Using the offset factor, the reection is calculated out due to the low
emissivity and the accuracy of the temperature measurement is improved.
In most cases, the reected temperature is identical to the ambient air
temperature. Only when objects with strong emissions of a higher
temperature are in the proximity of the object being measured should
be determined and used. The reected temperature has only little effect
on objects with high emissivity. The reected temperature can be set
individually.
Follow these steps to get the right value for the reected temperature:
1. Set the emissivity to "1.0"
2. Adjust the optical lens to near focus
3. Looking in the opposite direction away from the object, take a
measurement and save the image
4. Determine the average value of the image and use that value for
your input of reected temperature
Thermal Imager Reporter Software
Reporter Software is supplied with this Thermal Imager. This software
contains features to analyze images, organize data and information, and
make professional reports. The Thermal Imager Reporter Software allows
audio annotations and commentary to be reviewed on a PC.
