Notice to User

Calibration
It is recommended to perform annual calibration to ensure the accuracy of temperature measurement. Calibration can be done through IRay Technology or third-party organizations.

Accuracy
To achieve accurate measurement, follow these recommendations

1. Allow the thermal camera to stabilize for 30 minutes before use.
2. Operate the camera at a distance of 0.5m-1.5m, with the ideal distance being 0.7m-1.2m.
3. This thermal camera is specifically designed for ultra-high temperature measurement and is not recommended for monitoring targets at normal temperatures.

Common Troubleshooting

Images are
blurred| No image calibration for a
long time| Click the shutter correction button
in the software
Camera can’t be started| The supply voltage exceeds the normal working supply voltage range| Check whether the power supply voltage is between 9 and 26V
The power connector is loose| Check whether the power cable is connected
Inaccurate
temperature measurement| The stabilization time for
thermal camera is too short.| Keep the thermal camera stable for more than 10 minutes.
Image is stuck.| Power cable or network cable connection is loose.| After checking the power supply

and network cable connection, preview the images again.

Images cannot be previewed.| The camera is not connected to Internet or the connection between the camera and the Internet is not good.| Connect the camera to Internet and make sure that they are connected well.
