Thermal Imaging Camera
1.Introduction
• The Thermal Imager is handheld imaging camera used for predictive maintenance, equipment troubleshooting
and verification.
• Focus the len to the object, then the thermal and visual images are displayed on the LCD and can be saved to a
Micro SD Memory card.
• Transferring images to a PC is accomplished by removing the SD memory card and connecting it to a PC through
the included card reader, or transfer the images and video stream to the smart device with “InfraRead” apps
installed.
• In addition to the features mentioned above, the Thermal Imager provide video recording and play back.
2.Safety Information
• Do not disassemble or do a modification to the Thermal Imager.
• Do not point the Thermal Imager (with or without the lens cover) at intensive energy sources, for example devices
that emit laser radiation, or the sun, this can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the camera, it can also
cause damage to the detector in the Thermal Imager.
• Do not use the Thermal Imager in a temperature higher than 50°C (122°F), lower than -20°C (-4°F), high
temperature or low temperature can cause damage to the Thermal Imager.
• Only use the correct equipment to discharge the battery, if you do not use the correct equipment, you can decrease
the performance or the life cycle of the battery.
• If you do not use the correct equipment, an incorrect flow of current to the battery can occur, this can cause the
battery to become hot, or cause an explosion and injury to persons.
• Do not pull out the battery when the thermal imager is working, if you pull out the battery when the thermal
imager is working, it may cause the thermal imager work unnormal.
• Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery, the battery contains safety and protection devices which,
if they become damaged, can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition.
• If there is a leak from the battery and the fluid gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes, flush well with water
and immediately get medical care.
• Do not make holes in the battery with objects, Do not hit the battery with a hammer, Do not step on the battery,
or apply strong impacts or shocks to it.
• Do not put the battery in or near a fire, or in direct sunlight, or other high-temperature locations, Do not solder
directly onto the battery.
• Always charge the battery in the special temperature rang, the temperature range through which you can charge
the battery is 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F), if you charge the battery at temperatures out of this range, it can cause
the battery to become hot or to break, it can also decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery.
• Do not get water or salt water on the battery, or permit the battery to get wet.
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution, Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents
to clean the case or lens/screen.
• Be careful when you clean the infrared lens, Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously, this can damage the
anti-reflective coating.

• Take the Thermal Imager from from cold to hot, it will appear condensation in thermal Imager, to protect the
Thermal Imager, you should power of the Thermal Imager, wait until the Thermal Imager has become war enough
for the condensation to evaporate.
• If you do not use the Thermal Imager, put the Thermal Imager in cool and dry environment, if you store Thermal
Imager equipped with the battery, the power of the battery will be exhausted.

5-6.Temperature Measurement
• All objects radiate infrared energy, the quantity of energy radiated is base on the actual surface temperature and
the surface emissivity of the object, the Thermal Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the object
and uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Many common objects and materials such as painted metal, wood, water, skin and cloth are very good at radiating•
energy and it is easy to get relatively accurate measurements, for surfaces that are good at radiating energy
(High emissivity), the emissivity factor is >0.90.
This simplification does not work on shiny surfaces or unpainted metals as they have an emissivity of <0.6, these•
materials are not good at radiating energy and are classified as low emissivity.
• To more accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity correction is necessary, adjustment to
the emissivity setting will usually allow the Thermal Imager to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual
temperature.
• More information please see Emissivity Adjustment to get the most accurate temperature measurements.
5-7.Emissivity Adjustment
The correct emissivity value is important to make the most accurate temperature measurement, emissivity of a•
surface can have a large effect on the apparent temperatures that the Thermal Imager observes.
Understanding the emissivity of the surface, but may not always, allow you to obtain more accurate temperature•
measurements.
Note: Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make reliable and consistent determination of actual temperature
problematic, the lower the emissivity, the more potential error is associated with the Imager’s temperature
measurement calculations, this is also true even when adjustments to the emissivity and reflected background
adjustments are performed properly.
Emissivity is set directly as a value or from a list of emissivity values for some common materials, the global•
emissivity displays in LCD Screen as E=x.xx.
The following table gives typical emissivity of important materials.•
12
Thermal Imaging Camera
5-8.Reflected Temperature
• Using the offset factor, the reflection is calculated out due to the low emissivity and the accuracy of the
temperature measurement with infrared instruments is improved.
• In most cases, the reflected temperature is identical to the ambient air temperature, only when objects with
strong emissions with much higher temperature are in the proximity of the object being measured should be
determined and used, the reflected temperature has only little effect on objects with high emissivity.
• The reflected temperature can be set individually, follow these steps to get the right value for the reflected
temperature.
1.Set the emissivity to 1.0.
2.Adjust the optical lens to near focus.
3.Looking in the opposite direction away from the object, take a measurement and freeze the image.
4.Determine the average value of the image and use that value for your input of reflected temperature.
5-9.Thermal Imager Reporter Software
• Thermal Imager Reporter software is supplied with the Thermal Imager, this Software is intended for Thermal
Imager and contains feature to analyze images, organize data and information, and make professional reports.
• Thermal Imager Reporter software allows audio annotations and commentary to be reviewed on a PC.
