Product Information

The Infrared Thermometer IR-1600 CAM (Item No. 1274960) is a portable device that measures temperature through infrared radiation. The thermometer has an optical sighting device, a color display, and a camera lens. It also has a laser target pointer and a mini-USB charging port. The device is equipped with a rechargeable Li-ion battery type 18500 and can be used to measure surface temperatures of various objects.

Intended use

The infrared thermometer enables contract-free measurement of surface temperatures. It determines temperature according to the radiated infrared energy that is emitted by every object. Contact-free measurement makes it ideal for dangerous, difficult-to-access, moving or live objects. It cannot measure through transparent media such as glass, plastics, water, etc. Instead, the surface temperature is measured at all times. The temperature measuring range is from -50 to +1600 °C. A double laser target device facilitates the determination of the measuring range.

Additionally, a contact measurement with a thermal element sensor type K is possible in the measuring range from -50 to +1370 °C, depending on the sensor used. This contact sensor must only be used on voltage-free media.
The installed sensors can be used to measure ambient temperature and relative humidity. These measured values can be used to calculate and display the dew point and the evaporation temperature (wet bulb). There is a mould warning display.
An integrated camera permits recording images and videos with the measured data displayed there. The data can be recorded in a microSD memory card (supplied). A data logger with curve memory is present.

The IR-thermometer as such must not come directly into contact with the measured contact and surface temperature. A sufficient safety distance and admissible ambiance conditions must be complied with under all circumstances.
Diagnostic application in the medical area is not admissible.

The degree of emissions can be adjusted to the present surface property of the measured object. A table of common materials is integrated.
The installed USB interface serves only as a charging interface. Data transmission is not possible.
A 3.7 V Li-ion battery of type 18500 with a connection plug is used for voltage supply. No energy supply other than the one indicated can be used. Charging is performed via the integrated USB charging interface.
The enclosed USB plug-in mains adapter is designed in protection class 2 and must only be used in dry inner rooms.

Product Description

Function
Infrared thermometers (IR-thermometers) measure the surface temperature of an object. The product sensor records the emitted, reflected and passed-through heat radiation of the object and converts this information into a temperature value.
The degree of emission is a value used to describe the energy emission characteristic of a material. The higher this value, the higher the material’s ability to emit radiation. Many organic materials and surfaces have an emission de-gree of approx. 0.95. Metal surfaces or glossy materials have a lower emission degree. This will cause an inaccurate measurement. For this reason, a matte-black coat of paint or matte adhesive tape should be applied or the emission degree pre-set accordingly.

IR-measuring optics – D:S ratio
(D:S = measuring distance: measuring area)
To achieve precise measuring results, the measured object must be larger than the IR measuring spot of the infrared thermometer. The determined temperature is the average temperature of the measured surface. The smaller the measured object, the shorter the distance to the infrared thermometer has to be. The precise measuring spot size can be taken from the following chart. It is also printed on the device. For precise measurements, the measuring object should be at least twice as large as the measuring spot.
The meter has a lens of 50:1. The smallest measuring diameter is reached before the measuring opening at a distance of up to 90 cm. It is 18 mm in diameter. Keep the sufficient distance to avoid incorrect measurements due to heating of the IR thermometer. Then the measuring cone expands as shown in the sketch.
Example: The measuring diameter at a distance of 1.8 m is 36 mm. VOLTCRAFT

Target laser
The target laser is active during measurement depending on the pre-setting. A warning icon appears in the display with the laser active. Never look into the laser aperture (12) during measurement.

The target laser is designed as a twin device and marks the inner, approximate edge area of the measured area (approx. 90%).
When both laser points meet, the smallest measuring area has been reached. It is 18 mm in diameter.
For large distances, the two laser points move apart according to the measuring area.

Commissioning

  • Before working with the meter, you have to insert the enclosed Li-ion rechargeable battery.
  • Insert the rechargeable battery as described in this chapter and charge it.
  • The IR-thermometer permits individual system settings for measuring that you should perform after initial commissioning.

Inserting/replacing the rechargeable battery

  • The enclosed Li-ion battery must be inserted first at initial commissioning. To open the battery compartment, pull the battery compartment lid (10) away forwards. The battery compartment lid is unlocked. Fold open the battery compartment lid (10) forwards. Connect the plug of the rechargeable battery to the pug-in socket in the battery compartment in the correct polarity. The pug is designed so that the rechargeable battery can only be connected in the proper polarity. Do not apply any force when plugging in the rechargeable battery.
  • Close the battery compartment again by folding shut the battery compartment lid (10). Observe that the cables are not caught and the lock latches.
  • Do not leave the rechargeable battery in the meter during longer measuring breaks (approx. >2 weeks), since even leak-protected rechargeable batteries may corrode and release chemicals that may harm your health or destroy the device.

A matching Li-ion spare battery of type 18500 is available under the order number: Item no. 1233684 (please order 1x).

Measuring

To receive precise measured values, the infrared thermometer must be adjusted to the ambient temperature. Let the device adjust to the new ambiance temperature after a site change.
Longer IR measurements of high temperatures at low measuring distances lead to heating of the meters and thus to wrong measurements. For precise measured values: The higher the temperature, the larger should the measuring distance and the shorter the measuring duration be.
Glossy surfaces will falsify the measuring result in the IR measurement. To compensate, the surface of glossy parts can be covered with adhesive tape or matte-black paint. The devices cannot measure through transparent surfaces, such as glass. Instead, it will measure the surface temperature of the glass.

Degree of emission of different surfaces
The emission degrees listed in the table are approximated. Various parameters, such as geometry and surface quality, may influence the emission degree of an object.
The meter is delivered with a pre-set emission degree of 0.95. It matches for most non-metal materials. The IR measuring method is only conditionally suitable for blank metals and requires a special surface treatment (e.g. matte insulation tape, etc.) or pre-setting of the corresponding degree of emission.

Surface Emission Degree   Surface Emission Degree
Aluminium, blank 0.04 Copper, oxidised 0.60
Aluminium, oxidised 0.30 Brass, oxidised 0.50
Asphalt 0.90 – 0.98 Paints, matte 0.93 – 0.97
