Please ensure that the
certification matches or
exceeds the hazardous area
characteristics that will be
clearly displayed on site.
Whilst in a hazardous area, do
not attempt to change batteries
or download images, these
tasks should only be undertaken
after returning to a safe area.

Before using TC7000 consider the objects
that you are going to image. Will y ou use
comparative thermography (simply looking
for temperatur e diff erence) or ar e you going
to at tempt to make an accurate tempera ture
measurement?
4
For comparativ e thermography, do not
amend th e emissiv ity se tting and leave this
const ant ever y time you c arry ou t imaging.
Temperature differences over time will then
be valid although t he ambient temperature
may hav e changed as w ell as the electrical
or mechanical load of t he object .
5
For accurate ther mal measur ement the
emissi vity of the objec t will need t o be
considered and the c amera emissivit y
setting corrected.
In addition background and reflected ambient
will need to be consid ered as well as thermal
and solar reflect ion and rela tive humidity.
