F2 edits and confirms entry of the selected item.
F3 cancels an entry or closes the window without resetting the battery
options.
The Battery management menu can operate in one of two modes:
A
dvanced Off (Default) is display-only; you cannot change any settings in this mode. In default mode, the
battery icon only appears when battery power is low. When this icon appears, the camera will operate for
approximately 30 minutes and then shut down automatically.
Ad
vanced On allows more precise tracking of battery energy consumption, including the type of batteries used
and their estimated capacity. In Advanced mode, the battery icon indicates how much charge is left in the
batteries. Initially this icon is green:

menu.
2. Select to display the Cursor menu (shown to the left).
3. Select the desired cursor type. The following sections describe what
measurement data is displayed when each type of cursor is selected.
4. Save the cursor setting by pressing F2.
2.1.1. Estimating Measurements Without a Cursor
By default, no measurement cursor is selected (the icon in the Cursor menu is highlighted). Note that even
with no displayed measurements, you can still estimate temperature from the color palette. The color distribution
between minimum and maximum palette temperatures is linear, so simply interpolating based on the position of
the color in the palette provides an estimated temperature.
F
or example, to estimate the temperature at a specific point in the thermogram, find the location of its color in the
palette. If the color appears to be in the center of the palette, the temperature is approximately:

2.1.3. Measuring Temperature at a Point in the Image (Point)
The Point cursor option displays a single cursor along with the temperature at the current cursor location.
You can move the cursor with the up, down, left, and right directional buttons to display the temperature at
different points in the thermogram.
2.1.4. Measuring Temperatures of a Zone in the Image (Area)
The Area cursor option displays a square or rectangle on the screen, with the maximum and minimum
temperatures within the area also displayed. When you select this option, you can choose whether the area is a
square (default) or rectangle. Use the directional buttons to move the area on the screen. You can also resize the
area by pressing the up and left buttons simultaneously to reduce the size, or down and right to increase the size.
2.1.5. Displaying the Temperature Profile of a Line in the Image (Profile)
The Profile cursor option displays the temperature profile of a user-selectable horizontal line defined by the
cursor on the screen. The profile is displayed as a graph in the lower part of the screen. This cursor also identifies
a point on this line and indicates its temperature.
2.1.6. Displaying Points at the Same Temperature in an Image (Isotherm)
The Isotherm cursor option displays all points that fall within the same temperature range in the same color
within a certain tolerance. When you choose this icon, you are prompted to choose the color (green, red, or
brown) to display the points.
A
fter you press F2 to save the color selection, the screen displays the thermogram. You are then prompted to
enter the reference temperature (via the up and down buttons) and tolerance size (via the left and right buttons).
Both the reference temperature and the temperature range (defined as ± the tolerance setting) are displayed at
the bottom of the screen. In addition, the palette graphically displays the temperature range. All points in the
image whose temperature falls within this defined range are displayed in the selected color.
2.2. Freezing Palette Colors
By default, thermogram colors are calculated for each image (based on the highest and lowest temperatures in
the image) and assigned accordingly. As a result, the same color may not represent the same temperature in
different images.
ou can “freeze” the palette to ensure each color represents the same temperature in all images. When the
Y
palette is frozen, a red padlock appears on the palette. The minimum and maximum values are also displayed in
red.

3. ADVANCED OPERATION WITH MORE PRECISE
MEASUREMENTS
3.1. Best Practices
Make the measurement in the central zone of the screen.
Aim straight on, not at an angle.
Measure targets that are as large as possible. Avoid point-like targets.
If the ambient temperature changes significantly, allow the camera to stabilize.
If batteries have warmed up during charging, wait for them to cool down to ambient before putting them
back in the camera.
3.2. Compensating for Influencing Parameters
Measurements can be influenced by:
emissivity of the target object
temperature of the environment
distance to the target
relative humidity of the air
Emissivity is the most crucial factor. This defines the efficiency with which a material radiates infrared energy.
Different materials have different emissivity values. A perfect “blackbody” has an emissivity of 1.00 (the
theoretical maximum), while a material that emits no infrared energy has an emissivity of 0.00. Black electrical
tape has an emissivity of 0.95 and is suitable as a reference target.
he higher the relative humidity and the greater the distance, the larger the effect relative humidity has on the
T
measurement.
T
he relative humidity, ambient temperature, and distance are likely to vary more significantly outdoors.
he camera default settings may not be suitable for the present environmental factors, resulting in possible
T
measurement errors. In these situations, we recommend adjusting the camera settings to compensate for these
factors. These are set through the Target menu (see below).
Incorrect settings can produce results less accurate than results obtained with the default
settings.
3
.2.1. Default Compensation Settings
Compensation settings are managed through the Target menu. To display this
menu, press F1 in the Main screen and select Target .
The Target menu (shown to the left) lists default compensation settings for
target emissivity and distance, as well as for ambient humidity and
temperature.
u can use default settings for applications where high precision
Yo
measurements are not required, such as detecting a thermal bridge or
temperature difference.
17
3.2.2. Custom Compensation Settings
Influencing parameters should be adjusted from their defaults when:
Environmental conditions are significantly different from default settings for emissivity, relative humidity,
t
emperature, and distance
High measurement accuracy is required
To
change these settings, select Influence in the Target menu and then press F2 . Ensure the setting is User; if
not use the up or down button to select this option. This enables you to change the following parameters:
•Emissivity: Choose from a list of materials or enter a value. You can modify three “user” values by
essing the right button to enter the value. Then press the up/down buttons to change it, and F2 to
pr
save the change. After you save the emissivity value, it appears in the status bar. Allowable emissivity
values are from 1.00 to 0.05.
•Distance can be set from 1.6 to 3280ft (0.5 to 999.9m). Default is 6.6ft (2m).
•Humidity can be set from 0 to 100%. Default is 55%.
•Temperaturecan be set from 5° to +132°F (-15° to +55° C). Default is 55.5°F (13°C).
ote that you can also use measurement data provided by compatible Metrix ASYC IV Multimeters to
N
compensate for environmental factors (see §6.3.5). This requires connecting the meter to the camera via
Bluetooth (see § 6.3
).
3.3. Tripod
To improve the sharpness and accuracy of the measurements, it is possible to use a tripod for image stabilization.
The camera can be mounted on a tripod equipped with a standard ¼-inch mounting head. Attach the camera to
the tripod by screwing the tripod mounting screw into the threaded receptacle in the battery compartment cover
on the base of the camera handle (see below).
18
4. SAVING AND RECALLING IMAGES
When the micro SD memory card is inserted into the camera (see § 1.3), you can store and later recall the
displayed image and measurements.
4.1. Image Files
4.1.1. Naming Conventions
The camera has two objective lenses, one for infrared images and the other for visible light images. When an
image is saved, two files are created. The infrared image is saved using the filename convention:
y
yyymmdd_hhmmss_IR.PNG
here “yyyymmdd_hhmmss” is the date and time the image was acquired. The visible image is saved using
…w
the same naming convention, but without the “IR” designation (yyyymmdd_hhmmss.PNG). This naming
convention requires accurate date/time settings (see § 1.5.2
An a
udio file can also be included with the two images. This allows you to record a description and other
information relevant to the images. This requires a Bluetooth headset connected to the camera (see § 6.2
file is given the same name as the associated IR image, with the extension .WAV instead of .PNG (for example
yyyymmdd_hhmmss_IR.WAV).
After you save an image, you can create copies of it (with palette changes, additions of cursors, and so on) by:
Saving the same frozen image multiple times
Recalling the original saved image from the camera’s memory and saving it again (see § 4.4.1
).

acquisition) an index letter is added after the date (for instance 20181020_131254a_IR.PNG). When all letters
from "a" to "z" have been used, the letter "z" is re-used and the existing file with this name is overwritten. Note
that a visible image is not created for the derived file, since the visible image associated with the original file also
applies to the derived file.
When erasing visible images other than through the camera's file manager, take care not to create
“orphan” IR images for which no corresponding visible light image exists.

6.1.2. Deactivating Bluetooth
To deactivate Bluetooth, open the Bluetooth menu, select , and change its setting to Off. All communicating
peripherals are then disconnected. Their identification data is stored in memory, and upon the next activation the
camera will attempt to reconnect them.
6.2. Headset
The camera comes with a headset for creating and/or playing back vocal message. Note that the camera can
only connect to one headset at a time.
6.2.1. Headset Connection
To connect a headset, Bluetooth must be activated on the camera (see above). The procedure for connecting a
Bluetooth headset differs depending whether or not the headset is a known device that has already been
connected to the camera.
6.2.1.1. First Time Connection
When connecting for the first time, the headset is not yet “known” to the camera. It must therefore provide the
camera the information necessary for connection.

menu, select , and select Connect. The headset should connect after a few seconds (the icon status is
displayed as Connected).
If connection fails, switch the headset off and back on and repeat the operation.
If the name of the headset does not appear in the title of the icon, pairing has failed and you must
try again.
6.2.2. Changing Headsets
To change headsets, switch OFF the currently connected headset. Then connect the new headset as an
unknown device, as instructed in § 6.2.1
6.2.3. Headset Disconnection
The procedure for disconnecting a headset depends on whether or not other Bluetooth devices are connected to
the camera:
Measurement devices are connected to your camera and you want to leave them connected. The
s
implest solution is to switch off the headset. You can also disconnect it via the Bluetooth menu by
changing the status to Disconnect.
No other device is connected to your camera. We recommend deactivating Bluetooth as explained i
. Deactivating Bluetooth significantly reduces energy consumption and prolongs battery life.

8.1. IR Image is a Single Solid Color
8.1.1. Color Palette Frozen
Ensure the low and high temperature limits of your palette are consistent with the temperature range in your
environment. To check this, unlock the palette (see § 2.2
8.1.2. Inconsistent "User" Influencing Parameters
An incorrect emissivity value can result in measurement errors. Check the influencing parameters in the Target
menu (see § 3.2). If you question any of the settings, restore the default parameters (see § 3.2.1
8.2. Contrast of IR Image is Incorrect
Ensure that Isotherm measurement is not activated (see § 2.1.6).
If the palette is frozen, ensure that the low and high temperature limits are consistent with the
t
emperature range in your environment. To check this, unlock the palette (see § 2.2
If the temperature range of the image is very large (hot and cold points are very far apart), the linear
distribution of the colors between the minimum and maximum temperatures will be in large steps. This
impairs the image contrast. To address this, do one of the following:
-Freeze the palette and set the limits to the temperature range of highest interest.
-Keep the hot or cold point of lower interest outside the field of view of the camera, to reduce t
