Hti HT-101 Thermal Camera
Overview
This product is an infrared camera that integrates surface temperature measurement and real-time thermal image. The traditional inferred thermometer needs to measure every component one by one while it is not necessary for infrared imaging camera, thus saving time. The potential problems may be displayed on color display screen clearly. Moreover, the central point measurement cursor is used to locate quickly and accurately to measure the temperature of the target object. In order to increase the differentiation, the product is provided with a visible light camera. The thermal images and visible images are stored in the device and can be read through USB or stored in a computer to generate a report or for print. The product can be used in fields of medical treatment, fire fighting, archaeology, traffic, agriculture, geology, energy, smelting, electronic manufacture, etc and is the ideal selection for electrician and maintenance personnel and technicians and can be used to find the problem area quickly.
The following major functions increase the product’s accuracy and usability:
- The radiation coefficient may be adjusted to increase the measurement accuracy of objects with half reflection surface.
- The highest temperature and lowest temperature cursor may guide the users to the areas with highest and lowest temperature of the thermal images.
- The selectable color palette.
Considerations and Safety Maintenance
Please read the instruction for use carefully in order to ensure correct measurement result:
- Don’t use the device in an explosive, flammable or ccrrosive environment
- The product belongs to precision electronic and sensitive optical devices. Don’t impact and drop it to avoid damage.
- Don’t dismantle and remodel the products,
- When the product works, there is light sound of clicking every several seconds. This is normal phenomenon that the lens captures images.
- Please use damp cloth or weak soap to clean the enclosure of the device. Don’t use abradant, isopropanol or solvent to clean. Special optical lens cleaner is used to clean the screen.
Read images
Use USB cable to connect to your computer, then can read images or save them to your computer. Through verify, the supported systems have: winxp, win7, win 8, win10, Apple. It is recommended to use the supplied USB cable or use a better USB cable.
Note : When connecting to the computer, select “Safe Eject Device” and then unplug the cable. Avoid problems such as file storage errors. If there is a problem such as not being able to store, find the hard disk in your computer and fix it.

Instruction to structure
Key Description
- Color code: used to mark the color corresponding to the relative temperature from low to high in the field of version.
- The central point temperature cursor: used to indicate the central position in the screen area. The cursor color displays white. The temperature value is displayed top left corner of the screen.
- The highest temperature cursor: used to indicate the highest temperature position in the screen area. It will move with the movement of the highest temperature. The cursor displays red. The temperature value is displayed at bottom left corner of the screen.
- The lowest temperature cursor: used to indicate the lowest temperature position in the screen area. It will move with the movement of the lowest temperature. The cursor displays red. The temperature value is displayed at the central position of the screen.
Key Description
Initial Operation
- Charging: the product is provided with built-in 18650 lithium battery. When the battery power is not sufficient, please charge it through Micro USB interface in time.
- On/off key: hold down ” <!.) – key to power on /off.
- Switching between infrared thermal image and visible image: press ” <I ” or · I> ” key to switch the degree of fusion between inferred thermal images and visible images (the degree of fusion is 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%).
- Image capture: press the image capture key. When the capture is successful, the screen will display “store photo?” prompt. If “yes” is selected, please press “MENU” key to determine to save the image. If “no” is selected, press “SELECT” key to determine not to save the image.
- The function to hide highest lowest temperature column at the screen bottom: under the operation after normal start up, press 1::,. ” key and the screen bottom will display the highest lowest temperature column. Press ” 1::,. ” can also hide it.
- Image output: The saved images through capture may be checked and output by connecting with a computer through Micro USB.
Image registration” menu introduction
As shown in the figure, press the “MENU” button to enter the main menu, and select “Image registration” in the main menu. Press the “SELECT” button to enter the image overlap adjustment mode. Press the navigation keys (up, down, left and right buttons) to perform the visible image shift operation. Press the “ENTER” button to exit the image blending mode (Note: If there is no operation for more than 6 seconds, the image blending mode will be automatically exited).

Introduction to “color palette” sub-menu
Color Palette Description
The menu of color palette can change the fa lse color of infrared thermal
image. The product provides five types of color palette: rainbow, iron oxide
red, cold color, white heat and black heat. Suitable selection of color
palette displays the detai ls of the target objective better. Rainbow, iron
oxide red and cold color palettes focus on display of color. Such color
palettes are very suitable for high heat contrast and are used to improve the
color contrast between high temperature and low temperature. But the black &
white and white & black color palettes provide even linear color. The
following is the image of the same object with selection of different color
palettes.

Introduction to “emissivity” sub-menu
Emissivity Description
The emissivity of the product can be adjusted from 0.01 to 1.00 with a default value of 0.95. Many common objects and materials (such as timber, water, skin and textile fabric) can reflect heat energy effectively. So it is easy to obtain relatively correct measurement value. The emissivity is usually set as 0.95 when the coarse objects that are easy to give out energy. For semi-matte objects that give out less energy, the emissivity is usually about 0.85 and the emissivity of semi-gloss objects is 0.6. The shiny objects are divided into materials with low radiation coefficients The emissivity is usually set as 0.3 at the time of measurement. Correct setting of the value of emissivity is very important for you to carry out the most correct temperature measurement. The surface emissivity will produce a giant impact on the surface temperature measured by the product. Understanding the surface emissivity will enable you to obtain correct temperature measurement result.
Emissivity setting
The product is provided with four types of object measurement modes:
- Coarse object (0.95)
- Semi-matte object (0.85)
- Semi-shiny object (0.60)
- Shiny object (0.30)
According to the characteristics of the measured objects. users may set the emissivity value through the “self-define” option (please refer to the table of -emissivity of common materials”).
The operating step is as the following:
As shown in the figure, press ”MENU” key to enter the main menu and select “emissivity· option and press • [> ” key to enter the emissivity list. Press • 6 ” and “”v” keys in navigation key to select the emissivity. Then press “SELECT” key to determine selection of the emissivity. Press ” <l ” key again to return.
If to select “self-defined” emissivity, please press “SELECT” key to enter the edit state. Press ” <l • and ” t> ” keys to select the number to be changed. After the change is completed, press “ENTER” key to enter. Then press ” L:;,. ” and ” \7 ” keys to change the value. Press”MENU” key to exit from the menu.
