The thermal imager camera can measure from -20~250°C (-4~482°F) and displays the thermal image and temperature.
Furthermore, thermal images can be saved to a micro SD card. Transferring images to the software is included for image report
generation from these saved images.
OPERATION 1. Power on
Press Trigger (○

2. Taking a thermal image and temperature
After power on, simply aim the thermal imager camera at the measure target with Lens
(○

target area is within the field of view.
Note: There are three cursors on the screen. The cursor shows the temperature of the
object located in the middle of the screen. Other two moving cursors indicate the highest
and lowest temperatures in the thermal image.
3. Save thermal images
Press Trigger (○
10 ) to save the thermal image to the micro SD card, press Up Key (○ 3) or
Down Key (○

STORAGE & CLEANING
It should be stored at room temperature. The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. The lens should be kept
clean at all times, care should be taken when cleaning the lens using only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or medical alcohol.
Allowing the lens to fully dry before using the thermometer. Do not submerge any part of the thermometer.
BATTERIES
The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:
‘Battery OK’: measurements
are possible ‘Battery Low’: battery needs to be replaced, measurements are still possible ‘Battery Exhausted’: measurements are not possible
When the ‘Low Battery’ icon indicates the battery is low, the battery should be replaced immediately with AA, 1.5V batteries.
Please note: It is important to turn the instrument off before replacing the battery otherwise the thermometer may malfunction.
Dispose of used battery promptly and keep away from children.

SOFTWARE STARTING UP
First you have to open the document “USB VCOM Software for windows” to install the USB driver.
Connect the application set to the power supply and the PC. Then start “ArraySW.EXE”.
The next step is to initialize the interface. Depending on your system you have to choose the pursuant COM Port. You have to
regard the following steps:
1.) Connect the USB jack. If you want to connect the device directly to the computer, you have to use USB cable.
2.) Power up the device by connecting the USB power jack.
3.) Select “ COM* ” in the Interface-Combo-Box.
4.) Click “ Start ” in the Interface-Button. If TIM03 is present, the GUI will show data in the dialogue.
5.) Press TURN OFF button to stop working the Thermal Imaging Software.
PROGRAM FEATURES
This is a short overview of all functions of the program:
As you can see in the screenshot some elements are information-giving others are for control. First we will discuss the information
giving elements:
Item Function
Pixel Screen The Pixel Screen shows a calculated RGB-Valuefor the temperature each thermopile sees.
Temperature Distribution of all
Pixels This field shows a histogram. It represents the distribution of temperatures.
Pixel Temperature This field shows the temperature of all thermopiles.
False Color Scale The False Color Scale shows the range of the chosen color scheme and the minimum and
maximum Value in the Pixel Screen.
Single Pixel Information Single Pixel Information shows several information of a pixel selected at the Pixel Screen by
mouse or keyboard (use arrows).
Note: If a setting in any dialogue-box is changed, it must be confirmed with ENTER.
The control elements are:
Item Function
Set Interface : COM Determine your COM port.
Protocol specifications :Transfer rate 460800 baud,8 bata bits,no parity,1 stop bit,NONE
Start/Turn Off Starts and stops capturing of data.
Module Type Thermopile sensor array is 32*31
FPS Show Frames per second.
Set Framestack Framestack allows integrating over multiple pictures for better quality because of noise reduction
by accepting a lower frame rate. The Framestack can get a size between 1 and 300.
Set Color Scheme There are eight different color schemes available.
Interpolate Interpolation simulates a higher resolution, from 32x31 to 128x127 pixels for example.
Options Set temperatures in °C、°F or K .
Set mirror frame: X-Axis/Y-Axis/Both.
Save Data Stream to File
(.bds/.txt /.avi) The data stream can be saved in a file (.bds/.txt/.avi). For analysis the text files are easier to handle.
First click “Save to…” and enter name, file type and destination where you want it to save. To
begin data capturing click “Rec” in the Save to File-Box. The Button is highlighted red, as long as
data capturing proceeds. You can stop recording by pressing “Stop” in the Save to File-Box. The
red highlighting of the Rec-Button disappears.
If you want to play the stored stream with your program, press “Play”. A new window appears.
Press “Open stream…” and open the desired file. Now enter the Frame rate, press enter and
confirm with play.
It is also possible to reduce the size of the file by setting the figure in the “Every Frame”-field to a
different amount. When “Every Frame” is set to 6, for example, then only each sixth frame is
recorded. This value is also used, when a recorded data stream is played.
Play SDcard files(.bin) First save the SD card files to your computer, press “Open stream…” and open the desired binary
file(.bin
)
as described above.
Set Command “K”: Continuously display temperature data of thermal images on PC
“x” : Stop transferring thermal images
“T” : Transfer to the thermal imager camera and display temperature data
Save Picture and Temp.
Data to File Temperatures and Pixel:
saves Temperature- values table to Excel (TIM_TempV_*****.xls)
saves Pixels to BMP (TIM_Temp_*****.bmp)
