3.2 Calibration
We recommend that you send in the camera for calibration once a year. Contact your local sales office for instructions on where to send the camera.
3.3 Accuracy
For very accurate results, we recommend that you wait 5 minutes after you have started the camera before measuring a temperature.
3.4 Disposal of electronic waste
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains materials, components and substances that may be hazardous and present a risk to human health and the environment when waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is not handled correctly. Equipment marked with the below crossed-out wheeled bin is electrical and electronic equipment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment should not be discarded together with unseparated household waste, but must be collected separately. For this purpose all local authorities have established collection schemes under which residents can dispose waste electrical and electronic equipment at a recycling centre or other collection points, or WEEE will be collected directly from households. More detailed information is available from the technical administration of the relevant local authority.

Working with images

14.1 Saving an image

14.1.1 General
You can save images to a memory card.
The camera saves an image file including all thermal and visual information. This means that you can open an image file at a later stage and, for example, select another image mode, apply color alarms, and add measurement tools.
The image jpg file is fully radiometric and saved lossless, which enables full post-processing in FLIR Tools. There is also a regular jpg part (lossy) for convenient viewing in nonFLIR Systems software (Explorer).

14.1.2 About UltraMax
UltraMax is an image enhancement feature that increases the image resolution and lowers the noise, making small objects easier to see and measure. An UltraMax image is twice as wide and high as an ordinary image.
When an UltraMax image is captured by the camera, several ordinary images are saved in the same file. Capturing all the images can take up to 1 second. To fully utilize UltraMax, the images need to be slightly different, which can be accomplished by a slight movement of the camera. You should hold the camera firmly in your hands (do not put it on a tripod), which will make these images vary just a little during the capture. Correct focus, a highcontrast scene, and a non-moving target are other conditions that help to achieve a goodquality UltraMax image.
At the moment, only FLIR Tools has the ability to process UltraMax images. Other FLIR software will treat the image as a regular image.

14.1.3 Image capacity The capacity of a 4 GB memory card is theoretically 3600 images (with no annotations).

14.1.4 Naming convention The naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx.jpg, where xxxx is a unique counter.

14.1.5 Procedure Follow this procedure: 1. To save an image, push the Autofocus/Save button fully down. Note

· Depending on the settings in (Settings) > Save options, the following may happen:
A preview image is displayed before the image is saved. An annotation tool or the annotation menu is displayed when the image has been
saved.

· To configure UltraMax, select UltraMax.

(Settings) > Save options > Image resolution =

· The camera can be configured to also save the visual image as a separate file. Select

15.1 General
The camera captures both thermal and visual images at the same time. By your choice of image mode, you select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
· Thermal MSX (Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging): The camera displays infrared images where the edges of the objects are enhanced with visual image details.
· Thermal: A full infrared image is displayed. · Picture in picture: An infrared image frame is displayed on top of the visual image. · Digital camera: The visual image captured by the digital camera is displayed.
Note
· These image modes only work correctly for calibrated lenses. The lens that ships with the camera is factory calibrated. To have a new lens calibrated, you must send in the camera and the lens to your local service department.
· All thermal and visual information is stored when an image is saved. This means that you can edit the image later, in the image archive or in FLIR Tools, and select any of the image modes.

16.5 Changing object parameters

16.5.1 General For accurate measurements, you must set the object parameters.

Types of Parameters

The camera can use these object parameters:
· External IR window compensation, i.e., the temperature of any protective windows, external lenses (e.g., the close-up lens), etc., that are set up between the camera and the object of interest. If no protective window, protective shield, or external lens is used, this value is irrelevant and should be left inactive.
· Object distance, i.e., the distance between the camera and the object of interest. · Atmospheric temperature, i.e., the temperature of the air between the camera and the
object of interest. · Relative humidity, i.e., the relative humidity of the air between the camera and the ob-
ject of interest.

Reflected temperature, which is used when compensating for the radiation from the
surroundings reflected by the object into the camera. This property of the object is called “reflectivity”.
· Emissivity, i.e., how much radiation an object emits, compared with the radiation of a theoretical reference object at the same temperature (called a “blackbody”). The opposite of emissivity is reflectivity. The emissivity determines how much of the radiation originates from the object as opposed to being reflected by it.
Note There is an Emissivity mode setting, which you can use to enter the emissivity
by material instead of by value. Select (Settings) > Device settings > Set up camera > Emissivity mode > Select from materials table.
Of the object parameters, Emissivity is the most important parameter to set correctly. If the Emissivity is set to a low value, the Reflected temperature also becomes important. The parameters Object distance, Atmospheric temperature, and Relative humidity are relevant for longer distances. The External IR window compensation must be activated if a protective window or external lens is used.

Procedure
You can set the object parameters globally. You can also change the Emissivity, Reflected temperature, and Object distance parameters locally for a measurement tool.
Local parameters are normally only effective for a fixed setup, where each measurement tool is set to a specific object of interest. In a general handheld application, the global parameters are usually sufficient.
Note Of the object parameters, Emissivity and Reflected temperature are the two most important to set correctly in the camera.

Working with color alarms and isotherms

18.1 Color alarms

18.1.1 General
By using color alarms (isotherms), anomalies can easily be discovered in an infrared image. The isotherm command applies a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature above, below, or between the set temperature levels. The camera also features isotherm types that are specific to the building trade: condensation and insulation alarms.
You can make the camera trigger the following types of color alarms:
· Above alarm: This will apply a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature above the specified temperature level.
· Below alarm: This will apply a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature below the specified temperature level.
· Interval alarm: This will apply a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature between two specified temperature levels.
· Condensation alarm: Triggers when the camera detects a surface where the relative humidity exceeds a preset value.
· Insulation alarm: Triggers when there is an insulation deficiency in a wall.

18.1.2 Image examples
