Cleaning and Maintenance

9-1 Cleaning the Germanium Lens
Do not use corrosive chemicals on the optical glass components. The germanium window surface is coated with anti-reflection coating. Dust, grease, and fingerprints will produce harmful substances and lead to a decline in performance, or cause scratches. If dirt is found, please use the following methods:
1. Use a blown balloon or a soft brush to clean the lens surface to avoid dust particles scratching the anti-reflection film on lens surface during the wiping process.
2. Use a soft cotton or microfiber cloth or lens wiping paper and dip in distilled water. Gently wipe the lens surface from the middle to the edge, paying attention to not crack the lens, or use too much liquid. If the lens is still not clean, replace the cloth and repeat the wiping process.

9-2 Disinfecting the Camera Surface
Do not use corrosive cleaning solutions on the optical glass components. It is recommended to disinfect the camera surface regularly with a non-corrosive sanitizing product. Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning solution. Adhere to the sanitation protocols and cleaning schedule set forth by the employer.

9-3 Device Calibration
It is recommended to have the device(s) re-calibrated annually. Contact customer service to schedule maintenance.

9-4 Storage When the equipment is not in use, the device should be placed in a dust-free and moisture-free environment with a stable temperature and humidity.
DO NOT USE CORROSIVE CLEANING SOLUTIONS ON THE OPTICAL GLASS COMPONENTS. DISINFECT THE CAMERA SURFACE REGULARLY WITH A NONCORROSIVE SANITIZING PRODUCT.

CALIBRATE YOUR DEVICES ANNUALLY. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE.

FM 700X P-SERIES USER MANUAL

Radiometry

10-1 Introduction to Radiometry
The basic reason for employing image processing programs when analyzing IR images is to have a fast and comprehensive means to determine the information content of an image in numerical terms. Radiometry is considered the base from which to conduct this analysis.
Typically, converting the gray scale values to values of temperatures requires either a calibration of individual cameras or field calibration data. The method for calibrating images provided in this program is camera dependent because temperature calibration data is collected through an advanced calibration process at the factory and installed within the software program.
IR Flash Pro looks for a very specific file in its structure and mates that with the camera serial number automatically read by the program. If this software cannot match the camera to the calibration file, the user cannot perform temperature analysis on the data. Contact customer service if there is an issue.

IF YOUR PACKAGE INCLUDES ADDITIONAL LENSES A SEPARATE CALIBRATION IS REQUIRED FOR EACH LENS. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THERE IS AN ISSUE.

10-2 Radiometry Correction
The accuracy of temperature conversion is also dependent on the physics of the scene. These physical properties include humidity, emissivity and reflection of the target, the transmission in the intervening atmosphere, and the background/ foreground temperature within the scene.
Information for an image is stored in the Project Information/Zones area and can be retrieved by clicking the drop-down tab next to “Image”. ROI data is stored under “Zones”. The dialog box shown below allows users to offset potential errors by typing precise values into the input field next to the property:

Users can include data in reports. To toggle data on/off click the squares. Boxes are green when selected.

Use the input fields to enter information and numerical data.

FM 700X P-SERIES USER MANUAL

10-2-1 Detail Parameters
Name, Date, and Time information is automatically recorded and stored when and image is captured. Images have a default name of “XXYZ_IR” where “X” is a series of numbers. Users can enter notes in the Comments section. Location/ GPS is captured if enabled.

10-2-2 Emissivity
Users are provided the capability to enter any value of surface optical property of the target surface deemed appropriate to the analysis. To set the emissivity enter a value from 0.01 to 1.0 in the input box.
The accompanying table gives the typical emissivity of important materials:

Material Water Stainless steel Aluminum plate Asphalt Concrete Cast iron Rubber Wood Brick Tape Brass plate Human skin PVC plastic Polycarbonate Oxidized copper Rust Paint Soil

Emissivity .96 .14 .09 .96 .97 .81 .95 .85 .75 .96 .06 .98 .93 .80 .78 .80 .90 .93

AS THE EMISSIVITY VALUE BECOMES LOWER THE ERROR BETWEEN THE

ACTUAL SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE OBJECT AND THAT SHOWN

BY THE CAMERA BECOMES GREATER. A GREAT DEAL OF ERROR CAN BE

INTRODUCED INTO THE CALCULATION PROCESS IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL WITH THE EMISSIVITY SPECIFICATION.

10-2-3 Ambient Temperature
The Ambient Temperature, which is often referred to as the background, is the temperature of the air surrounding the target object. This number can affect surfaces whose energy will hit the face of the target object and reflect from it into the camera’s field of view.
Entering a numerical value in the appropriate input box will adjust the temperatures of an image accordingly.
10-2-4 Distance and Angle of Capture
Although distance usually will not affect the temperatures measured by the software it can be helpful to know the distance to the target location. Generally, the further away the IR sensor is from the target/background area, the less thermal contrast seen in the image.
Angles of reflection can also affect the contrast. This is significant because when the IR sensor is operated at low angles over water there may be no perceived thermal difference between the horizon and the water, i.e. the horizon can seem to disappear. Users can change their angle by changing where they stand or by attaching a camera to an unmanned aerial system.
While there is an input box for Distance there is not an input for Angle. Use the Comments section to create notes.

10-2-5 Humidity
Humidity remains in the atmosphere even on bright days. Water of all three states can be found naturally in the atmosphere: liquid (rain, fog, and clouds), solid (snowflakes, ice crystals), and gas (water vapor). Water in any state is an obstacle to accurate temperature measurements. When the wave passes through the water particles, a part of its energy is absorbed and a part is scattered. Therefore the electromagnetic wave is attenuated.
Users can correct for atmospheric attenuation due to humidity by defining the value using the input field.

Users can include data in reports. To toggle data on/off click the squares. Boxes are green when selected.

Use the input fields to enter information and numerical data.
