About TC004
Read all instructions before use.
Do not point the thermal imaging camera at the sun or other strong
energy sources for long periods of time, otherwise there might be
damage to the detector in the thermal imaging camera.
Keep the thermal imaging camera away from water to avoid
electricity leakage or short circuits.
Do not touch the lens with your hands. Do not knock, pry, puncture,
or scratch the lens.
Do not disassemble the thermal imaging camera.
TOPDON's TC004 is a 256*192 handheld thermal imaging camera
used for equipment inspection and maintenance.
You can apply the camera in home heating, water leak detection, and
agricultural protection. It can be used either on its own in standalone
mode or in USB mode to work with a Windows-based computer.

Section 4
Using TC004 in USB Mode
While in standalone mode, the TC004 thermal imaging camera can
work independently on its own. To learn more about the operation of
each button and port on the TC004 device, you can refer to Section 2
Product Overview.
Apart from standalone use, your TC004 can also work with a
Windows-based computer. This section illustrates how to congure
your TC004 to work with a Windows-based computer for screen
projecting and imagery analysis.
Download and install the TDView software
Go to www.topdon.com/products/tc004, click “Download” to
enter the download page. Then download and install the TDView
software to your computer.
Connect TC004 to your computer with the supplied USB cable
(see Figure 4.1.1).

To project your TC004 screen to PC, you need to switch your
TC004 to USB mode rst (Go to Setting > System Setting, and
tap Using Mode to switch to USB mode).
Open the TDView software and you can screen project your
TC004 thermal imaging camera to PC.

Project Your TC004 Screen to PC
Once your TC004 is connected to PC via the supplied USB cable, you
can send les (both JPG and IRG format les required) to the PC and
conduct imagery analysis with the TDView software.

FAQ
Can the TC004 detect objects underwater, through glass or a
wall?
No. Infrared detectors mainly detects 8 to 14 μm long-wave
infrared areas, and can only be used to measure surface
temperature.
Why is there a lower temperature reading when the device
gets far from the object and a higher reading when the
device gets closer to the object?
Infrared radiation attenuates when passing through the
atmosphere. The longer the distance, the greater the
attenuation. Thus, the accuracy of temperature measurement at
a distance will decrease.
To ensure accuracy of measurement, go to Setting > Measure
Parameter > Distance, and input the actual distance (max: 5
meters) to get the corrected temperature.
Why is the measured temperature not very precise?
The temperature resolution of TC004 is ±2%. And the TC004
provides a normal temperature range of -4 to 302°F (-20 to
150°C), and a high temperature range of 302° to 662°F (150 to
350°C). Please select the corresponding range in the app before
measuring.
What external factors will affect the infrared temperature
measurement?
The following factors will have an impact on the measurement
results:
a) Emissivity of the object surface.
b) Ambient temperature: The object will reect the infrared
rays emitted by surrounding objects, which affects the
temperature measurement of the object itself.
c) Atmospheric temperature: The atmosphere itself also emits
infrared rays.
d) Atmospheric transmittance: the infrared rays emitted by the
object are attenuated in the atmosphere.
e) Distance: the longer the distance, the greater the attenuation
of the infrared rays emitted by the object in the atmosphere.
