Basic Operation
Turn On and Off the Product
Before you use the Product for the first time, charge the battery. See Charge Batteries.
To turn on the Product, push and hold O for 1 second. To turn off the Product, push and
hold O for 2 seconds.
Note
All thermal Imagers need sufficient warm-up time for accurate temperature
measurements and best image quality. Warm-up time can vary by model and
environmental conditions. Although most Imagers are fully warmed up in 3 minutes
to 5 minutes, wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate temperature
measurement is important to your application. When you move an Imager between
environments with large differences in ambient temperature, allow for additional
adjustment time.
Focus
Correct focus makes sure that the infrared energy is correctly directed onto the pixels of the
detector. Without correct focus, the thermal image can be blurry and the radiometric data
may be inaccurate. Out-of-focus infrared images are frequently unusable or of little value.
To focus with the advanced manual focus system, rotate the Manual Focus Control until the
inspection object is in proper focus.
To simulate fixed focus at 1.2 m, align the raised bar on the focus control with the marker on
the case. See Figure 1.

Laser Pointer
The Imager has a laser pointer. The laser pointer is a sighting aid and is offset from the
infrared camera. As a result, it may not always represent the exact center of the infrared or
visible image.
The laser dot does not appear on an infrared-only image, but does on visible-only or
AutoBlend images. The laser dot cannot be seen in the visible channel of the IR-Fusion
image if obscured by the center point marker graphic.
Pull the secondary trigger to turn on laser pointer, release the secondary trigger to turn off
the laser pointer.
Capture Image
In normal operation (video is off), use the primary (green) trigger to capture a thermal image.
The captured image goes into a memory buffer. You can view and annotate the image in the
memory buffer before you store the image.When video is on, the primary trigger is the start/
stop for video recording.
To capture an image:
1. Focus on a target.
2. Pull and release the Primary Trigger or double tap on the display to capture and freeze
the image.
The image is in the memory buffer for you to save or edit the image.
Depending on the selected file format settings, the Imager shows the captured image
and a menu bar. The menu bar shows the available options. You can add text or audio
notes, create an IR-PhotoNote, or flag the image. To edit an image, see Image
Annotation.
Note
Asset ID tags, flags, and notes can be saved with images captured in .is2 file format
only. To select .is2 file format, see Settings Menu.
3. To assign an asset ID tag to the image, tap Scan Asset ID, or tap Remove Asset ID to
remove an asset ID tag from the image. See Asset Identification (Asset ID).

push a twice to rescale.
Note
The Imager always powers up in the same Level/Span mode, Auto or Manual, as
when the Imager was powered down.
Emissivity Adjustment
All objects radiate infrared energy. The actual surface temperature and emissivity of the
target affects the quantity of energy radiated. The Imager senses the infrared energy from
the surface of the target and uses the data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Many common materials such as wood, water, skin, cloth, and painted surfaces, including
metal, radiate energy well and have a high emissivity factor of ≥90 % (or 0.90). The Imager
measures temperatures accurately on targets with a high emissivity.
Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals do not radiate energy well and have a low emissivity
factor of <0.60. For the Imager to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual
temperature of targets with a low emissivity, adjust the emissivity setting.
W Warning
To prevent personal injury, see emissivity information for actual temperatures.
Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements.
These objects pose a burn hazard.
Set emissivity as a direct value or from a list of emissivity values for some common
materials. If the emissivity value is <0.60, a caution shows on the display.
Note
Surfaces with an emissivity of
<
0.60 make it difficult to determine reliable and
consistent actual temperatures. The lower the emissivity, the greater the potential of
error when the Imager calculates the temperature measurement because more of
the energy reaching the camera is specified as background temperature. This is also
true even when adjustments to the emissivity and reflected background adjustments
are performed properly.

Transmissivity
When you do infrared inspections through IR windows, not all of the infrared energy emitted
from the target is transmitted through the optical material in the window. If you know the
transmission percentage of the window, adjust the transmission percentage in the Imager or
in Fluke Connect desktop software to improve the accuracy of the measurement.
When you do not do infrared inspections through an IR window, set Transmissivity to 100 %
to disable the correction percentage.
