thermal imaging camera IC200 / IC300
Information about the device
Device description
The thermal camera IC200/IC300 creates a visible image
depicting infrared radiation, which is otherwise invisible to the
human eye. The thermal image and temperature are displayed
on the screen in real time. To improve the view, you can select
various colour palettes for depicting the thermal image.
Furthermore, you can superimpose IR and digital images in
order to obtain a higher-contrast thermal image.
The device has an LCDtouchscreen with a screen diagonal of
3.5inches.
For a measured result which is as precise as possible the
ambient temperature, reflected temperature, humidity, distance
and emissivity can be adjusted.
A stepless 16-fold digital zoom allows viewing of distant details.
The focus ring of the IC300 lens additionally allows the desired
measuring object to be focused.
A list of emissivities for various surfaces is provided in the
chapter Emissivity. For a precise evaluation, the thermal image
on the screen can be frozen or saved. The saved images can
later be viewed either directly on the camera screen or on a PC
using an analysis software.
An internal image analysis tool supports the evaluation of the
data, which you can save as photos, IRimages or a fusion of
both, as well as videos.
The USB-C interface enables data transfer and real-time
viewing of the recordings on a PC. The software included in the
scope of delivery (download) is used for external storage and
editing of the recordings.

Setting the temperature scale
You can adjust the temperature scale and thus control the
display of the current camera image. You can choose from the
following options:
• Manual (MANUAL): The user can determine the limit
measuring points and thus the temperature scale
independently. This option helps you visualize even small
temperature differences (see chapter "Thermography
terms").
• Automatic (AUTO): The device constantly adjusts the
temperature span automatically. The relation of
temperature and colour is linear.
• Histogram (HG): The infrared image is enhanced by means
of special algorithms emphasizing the colour differences.
The relation of temperature and colour is not linear.
1. To set the temperature scale manually, tap the
Temperature scale indication (31) until "MANUAL"
appears.
ðA lock icon appears next to the number in the Upper
measuring point indication(30) and Lower measuring
point indication(32).
2. Tap the Upper measuring point indication(30) or Lower
measuring point indication(32) and select the upper or
lower measured value. To do so, tap the arrows to the right
and left of the value or use the Right arrow button(19) and
Left arrow button(22).
3. Tap on a free area next to the settings window to close the
settings window.
ðThe upper or lower measured value is set.
4. Tap the Temperature scale indication(31) again to set the
temperature scale automatically.
ðThe Temperature scale indication(31) shows "AUTO".
ðAn "A" appears next to the number in the Upper
measuring point indication(30) and Lower measuring
point indication(32).
5. Tap the Temperature scale indication(31) again to switch
to histogram display.
ðThe Temperature scale indication(31) shows "HG".
ðAn "H" appears next to the number in the Upper
measuring point indication(30) and Lower measuring
point indication(32).

Aligning the camera image
Note
For a good result, make sure that the infrared image is
superimposed as precisely as possible on the contour
lines resulting from the digital image. Note that the
aperture angles of the infrared and digital camera are
different and therefore an exact overly of all objects at
all distances is naturally impossible.
Please proceed as follows to align the image overlay/contour
lines of the digital and infrared image:
1. Open the submenu Image Align.
ðThe current camera image is displayed.
2. Either use the Up(17), Down(21), Right(19) and Left(22)
arrow buttons or tap on the arrows on the display to align
the image.
ðThe camera image is shifted in the desired direction.

Emissivity
The emissivity is used to describe the energy radiation
characteristic of a material (see also chapter Thermography
terms).
A material's emissivity depends on various factors:
• composition,
• surface condition,
• temperature.
The emissivity can range between 0.01 and 1 (in theory). The
following rule of thumb can be assumed:
• When a material is rather dark and its surface texture matt,
it probably has a high emissivity.
• The brighter and smoother the surface of a material, the
lower will be its emissivity, presumably.
• The higher the emissivity of the surface to be measured,
the better it is suited for non-contact temperature
measurement by use of a pyrometer or thermal imaging
camera, since falsifying temperature reflections can be
neglected.
Entering an emissivity as accurate as possible is indispensable
for a precise measurement.
Most organic materials have an emissivity of 0.95. Metals or
shiny materials come with a much lower value.

Thermography terms
Span (contrast)
If the temperatures in the image are homogenously distributed
and close together, the image might not be very colourful /
contrasty, and the contours might not be easily visible. To
increase the contrast of the image, first go to the MANUAL
display mode (see section "Setting the temperature scale"). The
menu bar at the bottom of the screen must be deactivated.
Point the camera at the area to be examined, hold it steady and
then press the Play button(23) for approx. 1second. The
calibration indicator briefly appears in the display and you can
hear the shutter in the device. This is done to set LEVEL and
SPAN optimally for the selected image section and can be
repeated as often as desired. If you press the Up arrow
button(17) or Down arrow button(21) after these settings, the
set temperature range will be increased or decreased. The
representation of individual thermal areas in the image changes
and becomes more contrasty.
Level (average temperature / temperature level /
brightness)
When changing the span (see Span), it often makes sense to
also adjust or shift the average temperature (Level). If, for
instance, the span is reduced to a minimum first and then the
level of this extremely narrowed temperature range is shifted
up/down (by pressing the right/left arrow button), the image will
become useless even in parts as it will either have a totally
excessive or insufficient contrast. However, this allows you to
visualize even the smallest temperature differences in the object
when traversing the individual temperature sections (e.g. in
underfloor heating).
Emission
Any object whose temperature lies above absolute
zero (-273,15°C) emits heat radiation. Its surface condition
(e.g. colour, structure, material composition etc.) and
temperature, among other things, determine how well the heat
is emitted. The emissivity of an object indicates who much heat
it radiates compared to an ideal black body. An ideal black body
has a theoretical emissivity of 1. Other factors such as
transmission and reflection can be neglected in this ideal case.
In practice, however, this is not possible. Surfaces that strongly
reflect in the visible light spectrum are often also highly
reflective in the infrared spectral range, as is the case with
polished aluminium for instance.
The formula is: transmission + reflection + emission = 1
In most cases, the transmission factor can be neglected. If the
surface to be thermographed is highly reflective, the share of
reflection increases correspondingly and the share of emission
decreases.
Example:
• transmission = 0
• reflection = 0,8
• emission = 0.2
Highly reflective surfaces reflect all temperatures whatsoever
from surrounding heat sources, which are thus indirectly
captured and measured by the thermal imaging camera, while
the surface temperature of the actual measuring object is not
being measured. To overcome this problem, special labels or
sprays with a high defined emissivity are often applied on the
surface to be measured.
The general rule is: The higher the emissivity, the lower the
reflectance, the easier the thermography.
Reflected temperature
The location of heat sources in the surroundings influencing the
measurement and the determination of the average temperature
which is emitted by them and can be reflected by the object to
be thermographed.
