Menu and submenu

Measurement

The measured temperature of the center of pixel is displayed in the upper left corner of display screen. The setting of radiation coefficient is also displayed in the upper right corner of display screen. Move the instrument until hot spot or cold spot coincides with the center of pixel. Direct the instrument to the object whose temperature is higher or lower than the surrounding temperature to get the optimum measured results.

LED light

Press image capturing button for 5 seconds to turn on the LED light to cooperate with the working of visible camera.

Color palette

In the menu, the artificial color of the infrared image can be changed, which is displayed or detected on the screen. A series of color palettes is available for use. Some color palettes are available for use in special environments, so that they can be adjusted if necessary. The Grayscale color palette provides balanced linear shades of temperature gradients and thus can help to show full details. The Contrasting color palette can emphasize the color displayed stronger. The color palette is adjusted to the  cold contrast situation. It is used to improve the color contrast of high temperature and low temperature. The Iron Red and Rainbow color palettes offer a mixed- contrast color gradient.

Image mixing

Use the aligned visible image and superimpose it with an infrared image. This image makes mixing easier understanding of the infrared image. The device can capture and display the temperature distribution of the target area exactly the visible image of each infrared image. This feature helps to provide a better understanding of the infrared image. When these image mixing to be used, press the ► or ◄ button to superimpose the camera with an infrared image from 0% to 100%. Depending on the distance to the target, the two images may appear shifted to each other. You can compensate for that shift as follows: Press Menu, select Image Registration. Now, you can align two images by pressing and holding one of the four arrow buttons.

Emissivity

The emission factor of an object influences the measurement result massively and can be adjusted from 0.01 to 1.00. Many common measurement objects (such as wood, water, skin and textiles) have a matte surface and high infrared radiation, which is why the standard emission factor of this device is set to 0.95. For semi-matt objects, the emission is lower at about 0.85 and at half- glossy objects even lower, at about 0.6. shiny objects have the lowest infrared radiation and therefore indicate a wrong reading if the emission emission setting is wrong. Usually, the infrared radiation at glossy surfaces is about 0.3. Deviating emission factors can be changed before each measurement in the menu and taken from the following table

Image Registration

You can precisely set the overlay between the real image and the thermal image via the top menu item Image registration. This is necessary depending on the distance to the measurement object, since the images can shift relative to each other depending on the distance. First select an image overlay mode of approx. 25 – 50% (thermal image to real
image with the arrow keys ◄ ► so that you can see how the images are placed in relation to each other. Now activate the image registration and use the arrow keys ◄ ►▲ or to place the thermal image exactly over the real image. If the outer edges of the real image are exactly over the outer edges of the thermal image, press “ENTER” to confirm the setting.

Analysis software

This thermal imaging camera comes with PC software for analyzing the thermal images. All color palettes and the stepless superimposition of real image to thermal image can be set later or measurement functions can be used for thermography. The software is located on the internal device memory and can be installed directly from there on your system. Connect the device to your Windows PC and open the folder of this external storage medium. You will find the PC software in the Installation Package subfolder.
