Safety

3.1 Safety Warnings and Cautions

WARNING
⚠This symbol, adjacent to another symbol indicates the user must refer to the manual for further information.
WARNING
The instrument’s IP54 rating is only in affect when the top flap (covering the USB-C and Thermocouple jacks) is completely sealed. Do not operate the instrument with the flap open, except for charging, PC interface, or Type-K thermocouple use.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when the Laser pointer is on.
CAUTION
Do not point the Laser beam toward anyone's eye or allow the beam to strike the eye from a reflective surface.
CAUTION
Do not use the Laser near explosive gases or in other potentially explosive areas.
CAUTION
Refer to the CAUTION statement label (shown below) for critical safety information.

Operation

5.1 Camera Power

Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium battery. Long press the power button (center) to switch the camera ON or OFF. If the camera does not power ON, charge the battery by connecting to an AC wall charger using the sup­plied USB-C cable. The USB-C jack is located in the top compartment. Do not use the camera while it is charging. When the top flap is closed, the camera is rated IP54 for encapsulation. See Section 9.2, Battery Considerations and Service, for more information.
The camera has an Auto Power OFF (APO) utility that switches it OFF auto­matically if no buttons are pressed for the duration of the selected APO time. Use the menu system (under Device Settings) To set the APO timer. See Sec­tion 6, Programming Menu System, for more information.

5.2 IR Camera and Thermometer

Figure 5.1 Combined Thermal and Visible Image (MSX®)
1. Long press the power button to switch the camera ON.
2. If not already selected, choose the Thermal plus Visible Image mode in
the menu system (under Image Adjustments/Image Mode). You can adjust the MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) alignment in the Image Mode menu (press MENU at the MSX® image option and use the arrows to make the adjustments; press MENU to confirm). Note that you can also adjust the alignment directly in the normal operating mode using the arrow buttons while viewing a Thermal Plus Visible image.
3. Point the camera toward the test area and scan as desired. View the cam-
era image on the display.

Operation
4. Use the Laser pointer to accurately target a spot. Press the Laser pointer
button to switch ON the Laser pointer. The camera’s Laser pointer in­cludes a circular spot indicating the area that is being monitored for tem­perature, utilizing DOE (Diffractive Optical Elements) technology. See the Laser pointer image example below in Figure 5.2. If the Laser beam does not appear when the button is pressed, check the menu system (under Device Settings) to ensure that the Laser is enabled.
5. Use the cross-hair icon for reference only when targeting measurement
spots, as parallax errors affect targeting accuracy. If the cross-hairs are not shown, check the menu system (under Measurement) to ensure that the Center Spot (cross-hairs) function is enabled.
6. The temperature reading on the display represents the measurement of
the targeted spot. See Figure 5–1.
7. The distance-to-spot ratio is 24:1 (TG267, TG165–X) or 30:1 (TG297) and
the minimum target distance is 26 cm (10.2 in.).
8. To measure higher than 752℉ (400℃) on the TG297 use the High Tem-
perature Switch, see Section 5.3 below.
9. The TG267 and TG165–X do not include a high temperature filter, do NOT
attempt to measure > 716℉ (380℃) on the TG267 or > 572℉ (300℃) on the TG165–X.
10. If a measurement is out of range, the display will show ‘OL’.
11. To adjust the Emissivity, use the menu system (under Measurement).
12. To change the display color palette, use the menu system (under Image
Adjustments/colors).

NOTE
The camera’s reflected temperature setting is fixed at 77℉ (25℃) and may differ from the ac­tual reflected temperature of any given application.

5.3 High Temperature Switch (TG297)

1. To access the high temperature mode of the TG297, slide the lever to the
right (to expose the red color code).
2. The lever is located directly below the lens area and above the image cap-
ture trigger.
