ELEVATED SKIN TEMPERATURE KITS DISCLAIMER
The IR spot sensors are not medical grade devices. The
sensors are not designed for the specific intention of
human fever detection nor the diagnosis, mitigation or
prevention of disease or health conditions. A person may
be carrying or transmitting diseases without having an
elevated skin temperature.
Where the use of our products is permitted, they should
always be complemented with medical grade devices for
confirmation and additional screening. Operation of the
sensors should always be supervised by a medical
professional.
The device should be operated indoors within a 20-25C
temperature environment for its 0.5C accuracy. Different
temperatures may affect the accuracy of the device.
Allow 5 minutes for the device to warm up before
performing any measurements.

1. Overview
A simple cost effective solutions to limit the spread of the on-going pandemic.
Countries like Taiwan and Singapore have shown that it is possible to reduce the
spreading of the SARS-CoV-2 or Novel Corona virus by implementing strong protective
measures while trying to keep the economy going.
One of those measures is the continuous screening of people's temperature in offices
and other public places. This is critical to keep businesses open as long as possible.
By modifying our hardware, we have developed an emergency solution enabling to
monitor skin temperature.

2. Best Practices
2.1. Elevated skin temperature versus body core temperature.
An infrared sensor does not monitor the core body temperature but the radiated
temperature of the skin. It is important to understand that the skin temperature is not
the same as the core body temperature. The known fever temperature of 37.5°C or
100.4°F is the core body temperature. Skin temperature is significantly lower.
Studies following the SARS and N1H1 outbreaks were conducted in respect to IR
temperature scanning of people to detect potential cases of fever. We recommend the
user of the system to read the sources below.
If the event of a potential elevated skin temperature being recorded, it is important that
this should always be confirmed using a secondary screening with a medical grade
device.

11 EST-IRSPOT Manual- Revision 12 –June 6, 2020
2.2. Temperature accuracy, operation and maintenance
Each sensor has been calibrated against NIST standards using double validation. The
calibration has been done at a distance of 5cm and 20cm. The calibration has been
done in an environment with an ambient temperature of 20-25C (68-77F).
Annual calibration should be performed by the due date as marked on the sensor.
The IR spot sensors work by capturing the emitted infrared radiation within their field of
view. Units are calibrated at a distance of 5cm / 2 inches, at that distance they return the
average temperature within a circle of 1.05 cm / 0.41 inch in diameter. The same is
repeated at 20cm.
The sensor detects if a person is within the required 5-30cm (2-12in) range and only
then does it take the measurement.
The sensor should be operated in an indoor environment with a temperature of 20-25C
(68-75F). Outside of those ranges the results may be affected and the sensor may lose
its 0.5C accuracy. Allow 5 minutes for the device to warm up before doing any
measurements.
Your sensor lens should be kept clean at all times.
Temperature accuracy can be affected by the sensor lens. A dirty lens will result in
incorrect temperature readings.
When dirty (fingerprints, touch, dust), then the lens should be cleaned. To clean it, only
use an alcohol-based solution with a non-linen cloth. For example: paper based
Isopropyl Alcohol wipes.

13 EST-IRSPOT Manual- Revision 12 –June 6, 2020
2.3. Sensor Leds
The colors of the led on the sensor are pre-configured to operate as follows:
-White: nothing detected within a 5-25cm range
-Blue: temperature is too cold; a temperature of less than 32.5C or 90F. This often
means that the person is not looking straight at the sensor, is wearing glasses or
is wearing a face mask
-Green: the temperature recorded is within the 32.5-36.5C (90-97.7F) range
-Red: the recorded temperature is above 36.5C / 97.7F Additional screening
should be performed to validate recording
An elevated skin temperature does NOT always mean that a person has a fever. Anxiety,
exercising and other factors may lead to elevated skin temperatures. This is why
additional screening should always be performed to validate the recording.

14 EST-IRSPOT Manual- Revision 12 –June 6, 2020
3. EST Covid-19 Kit - Temperature IR Spot Sensor
The IR spot sensors operate on a one-to-one. Rather than looking at a crowd of people,
this setup scans one person at a time. It would point at the forehead of a person to be
screened.
It performs the skin temperature scanning with an accuracy of ±0.5°C/±0.9°F with
compensation based on ambient temperature to improve the sensor's accuracy and
reduce drifting.
The software on the appliance picks up the sensor reading and shows it as a green or
red value. Simultaneously, the data is saved onto the appliance where it can be used for
ad-hoc analysis using trend analysis.

15 EST-IRSPOT Manual- Revision 12 –June 6, 2020
3.1. What’s in the kit

3.2.3. Expansions for EST Kits (not KIT-IRSPOT or KIT-IRSPOT2)
-EST-IRSPOT-CAMERA - Camera module to take snapshot of screened person with
their temperature and time stamp
•EST-IRSPOT-THERMAL - With the optional thermal camera, the entire face will be
scanning in 480 points instead of just one measurement with the IR spot sensor.
The hottest detected temperature will be retained. This ensures that the entire
face is screened.

19 EST-IRSPOT Manual- Revision 12 –June 6, 2020
4. How it works
The software scans with the IR spot / Thermal Camera for a healthy human skin
temperature range; which is between 33.6°C and 35.5°C.
The Monitoring Appliance is a small Windows Enterprise IoT 10 computer with the
ServersCheck Monitoring Software embedded. It can connect to a network using a
regular RJ45 network cable OR via wifi. The appliance stores all data from the sensors for
graphing and trending purposes, it store the data to the sub folder /data (“C:\Program
Files (x86)\ServersCheck_Monitoring\data”) using SQL lite databases and knowing that,
you can use the EPOCH time stamp of a temperature recording, this could be linked to
an entrance scan of an employee.
The appliance has 3 USB ports and a HDMI port for a screen. You can then connect a
screen, tablets, smart phones or computers to the Monitoring Appliance to show the
real time data. Every time a recording is made within the human skin temperature range,
then that data is saved onto the Monitoring Appliance.
