Thermal Imagers

Basic Operation

Turn On and Off the Imager

Before you use the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of two and one-

half hours. See Charge Batteries.

To turn on or turn off the Imager, push and hold  for 2 seconds.

To maximize the life of the battery, use the Power Save and Auto Off features. See Table 13

for more information about how to set these features.

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. Use the advanced manual focus system as an override to

the LaserSharp Auto Focus System. See LaserSharp Auto Focus System.

Capture Image

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. To edit an image, see

Edit 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.

Note

MultiSharp Focus captures and freezes images differently. See MultiSharp

Focus.
