INTRODUCTION
This Sper Scientic Thermal Imaging Camera (model
800201) combines a high precision thermal image with a
standard photo for maximum clarity. With the press of a
button, the thermal image can be blended in increments
of 25% on a beautiful 3.5” full color display. Five available
thermal color palettes and an impressive 35,200 pixel
resolution ensure the images are crystal clear and
can easily be placed in reports and presentations. The
Minimum, Maximum, and Spot values update in real-time,
allowing you to scan an area for changes without the
need to switch modes. A simple intuitive keypad allows
you to begin using the camera immediately, without overly
complicated keystrokes.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Before using your Thermal Imaging Camera, there are some
important things to be aware of. The following is true for ALL
Thermal Imaging Cameras:
• Thermal Imaging Cameras provide only the surface
temperature. While the thermal image may appear as if
it shows objects behind others, such as through a wall.
However, it is not measuring the actual temperature of
those objects. The image reveals how the surface you’re
viewing is reacting to the heat or cold from the object that
is behind it.
• The Thermal Imaging Camera will always provide
temperature data for the entire image on the screen. It
cannot di󰀨erentiate between the objects within the image.
Therefore, you must pay attention to where the square
markers are within the image at all times. For example,
you may want to be measuring the temperature of a
baseboard, but if someone’s co󰀨ee cup is in the picture,
the camera will incorporate that data.
• Always be aware of your surroundings. When scanning
with a Thermal Imaging Camera for possible temperature
changes, it can be very easy to lose perspective on
surrounding areas which could be hazardous. Make sure
that when using the camera while walking, you also watch
where you’re going to avoid trip hazards or other threats.

TO BLEND VISUAL AND THERMAL IMAGES
1. Turn the Camera ON and Flip open the Lens cap.
2. Point the camera at the area of interest to be measured.
3. Note that the temperature of the square containing the
crosshairs is the temperature displayed in the upper
left-hand corner of the screen. This crosshair will always
appear in the center of the screen. To measure a specic
object’s temperature, make sure the crosshair is on top of
that object.
4. Press LEFT once to obtain a 100% visual image. The
temperatures will still display accurately in 100% visual
mode. It is only the image that appears as a photograph.
The thermal readings are still functioning.
5. Press the RIGHT arrow to begin blending the thermal
image with the visual.
6. Continue to press RIGHT up to 4 more times to continue
blending the visual image with the thermal. The nal
image will be 100% Thermal.
TO VIEW THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VALUES
1. Press the UP arrow to display the Minimum and Maximum
values within the image.
2. Note that the green square is the Minimum value while the
red square is the Maximum value.
3. Press the UP arrow again to hide the Minimum and
Maximum values within the image.
Note…
The Min/Max feature is not a memory mode. While it actively
updates the Minimum and Maximum as you scan an area,
it will not remember the previous image. In other words, it is
the Minimum and Maximum of an image, not a timeframe.

TO SAVE IMAGES
1. In normal Camera Mode, press the TRIGGER.
2. A box appears and asks if you want to save the image.
3. Press the TRIGGER again to save the image or SELECT

in the box before it disappears.

6. Once an image is open, use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to
scroll through all available images in the camera’s memory.
TO DELETE IMAGES DIRECTLY FROM THE CAMERA
1. Open the image on the LCD.
2. Press the UP arrow. “Delete Photo” appears on the screen.
3. Press MENU to delete the image or SELECT to cancel the
image deletion.

14
TO DOWNLOAD IMAGES
1. Flip open the door on the left-hand side of the camera to
expose the micro USB port.
2. Plug in the included micro USB Cable, ensuring the cable
seats fully.
