Quick start guide

6.1 Procedure

Follow this procedure:
1. Put a battery into the battery compartment.
2. Connect the USB battery charger to the USB connector at the top of the camera.
3. Charge the battery for 2 hours before starting the camera for the first time.
4. Insert a memory card into the card slot at the top of the camera.
Note Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another type of camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card. There is therefore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different types of cameras.
5. Push the on/off button
6. Aim the camera toward the object of interest.
7. Adjust the infrared camera focus by rotating the focus ring.
Note It is very important to adjust the focus correctly. Incorrect focus adjustment af­fects how the image modes work. It also affects the temperature measurement.
8. Pull the trigger to save an image.
9. Download and install FLIR Tools/Tools+ (freeware) or FLIR Report Studio (licensed
software) on your computer.
10. Start FLIR Tools/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio.
11. Connect the camera to the computer using the USB cable.
12. Import the images into FLIR Tools/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio and create an inspec-
tion report.
13. Send the inspection report to your client.
to turn on the camera.

6.2 To keep in mind

• Adjust the focus first. When the camera is out of focus, the measurement will be wrong.
• By default, most cameras adapt the scale automatically. Use this mode first, but do not hesitate to set the scale manually.
• A thermal camera has a resolution limit. This depends on the size of the detector, the lens, and the distance to the target. Use the center of the spot tool as a guide to the minimum possible object size, and get closer if necessary. Make sure to stay away from dangerous areas and live electrical components.
• Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the target. Be observant of reflec­tions, especially at low emissivities—you, the camera, or the surroundings may become the main source of reflection.
• Select a zone of high emissivity, e.g., an area with a matte surface, to perform a measurement.
• Blank objects, i.e., those with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the camera, because they mainly reflect the environment.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.
• Various types of faults, e.g., those in a building’s construction, may result in the same type of thermal pattern.
• Correctly analyzing an infrared image requires professional knowledge about the application.

8.3 Laser distance meter and laser pointer

8.3.1 General

The laser distance meter consists of a laser transmitter and a laser receiver. The laser dis­tance meter determines the distance to a target by measuring the time it takes for a laser pulse to reach the target and return to the laser receiver. This time is converted to a dis­tance, which is displayed on the screen.
The laser receiver also works as a laser pointer. When the laser distance meter is on, you will see a laser dot approximately at the target.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
Note
• The laser is enabled by a setting. Select ser > Enable lamp & laser.

11.9 Measuring areas

11.9.1 General

The distance measured by the laser distance meter can be used as the basis for area cal­culations. A typical application is to estimate the size of a damp stain on a wall.
To measure the area of a surface, you need to lay out a box or circle measurement tool on the screen. The camera calculates the area of the surface enclosed by the box or circle tool. The calculation is an estimate of the surface area, based on the measured distance to the target.
When the laser distance meter is on, you will see a laser dot approximately at the target. The laser distance meter measures the distance to that target. The camera assumes that this distance is valid for the entire box or circle tool.
For successful area measurements, keep the following in mind:
• Make sure that the box or circle tool is in the center of the image.
• Adjust the size of the box or circle tool to the size of the target.
• Hold the camera perpendicular to the target.
• Avoid targets with many details at different distances from the camera.

11.9.2 Procedure

Note This procedure assumes that you have enabled the laser. Select
Device settings > Lamp & laser > Enable lamp & laser. Follow this procedure:
1. Add a box or circle measurement tool, see section 16.2 Adding/removing measure- ment tools, page 75.
2. Set the camera to measure and display the area of the box or circle, see section 16.6 Displaying values in the result table, page 80.
3. Make sure that the box or circle tool is in the center of the image, see section 16.4 Moving and resizing a measurement tool, page 76.
4. Adjust the size of the box or circle tool to the size of the target, see section 16.4 Moving and resizing a measurement tool, page 76.

11.19 Calibrating the lens–camera combination

11.19.1 Introduction

Before a new lens can be used with the camera, the lens–camera combination must be calibrated.
This is a process that previously had to be performed by a FLIR service department, but for the FLIR Exx series the calibration can be performed by the user. This feature is called AutoCal. The AutoCal procedure requires a calibration target, which is included in the lens package.

11.19.2 AutoCal procedure

Follow this procedure:
1. Dip the calibration target in water for 1 second and let the excess drip off.

Handling the camera11
2. Tape or hang the calibration target on a wall.
3. Mount the new lens on the camera according to the procedure in section 11.18 Chang- ing camera lenses, page 47. When the lens is mounted, the calibration wizard starts automatically.
4. From a distance of 2 m (6.6 ft.), aim the camera toward the crosshair, using the laser pointer. The camera will take a picture automatically.
NOTE
Make sure the camera’s optical path is perpendicular to the calibration target. See the image below.

Saving and working with images

12.1 About image files

12.1.1 General

When you save an image, the camera saves an image file that includes all thermal and vis­ual information. This means that you can open an image file at a later time 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 image analysis and reporting software from FLIR Systems. There is also a regu­lar *.jpg component (lossy) for convenient viewing in non-FLIR Systems software (e.g., Microsoft Explorer).
Note
• The camera can also be configured to save an extra low-resolution visual image as a
separate file. This can be convenient if you are not using a post-processing software.
Select
• When the Digital camera image mode is selected, a high-resolution digital image is
stored when an image is saved. However, no thermal information is stored. For more in­formation, see section 15 Working with image modes, page 72.
• You can choose to turn off the digital camera. This can, for example, be required in re-
stricted areas and in confidential (e.g., doctor/patient) situations. Select > Save options & storage > Digital camera = Off. When the digital camera is off, fea­tures that require visual information, such as the images modes Thermal MSX and Pic- ture in picture, are disabled.

12.1.2 File-naming convention

The default naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx.jpg, where xxxx is a unique counter.
It is also possible to save images with a date prefix added to the filename. However, these files may not automatically be detected by third-party applications. For more information, see the setting File naming format in section 25.1.4 Save options & storage, page 107.

12.1.3 Storage capacity

When you save an image, the camera stores the image file on the memory card. The size of an image file (with no annotations) is typically less than 1000 kB. Thus, the ca-
pacity of a 8 GB memory card is approximately 8000 images. Note Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another type of
camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card. There is there­fore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different types of cameras.
(Settings) > Save options & storage > Photo as separate JPEG = On.

12.1.4 About UltraMax

UltraMax ers the noise, making small objects easier to see and measure. An UltraMax image is twice as wide and high as an ordinary image.

12
Saving and working with images
When an UltraMax image is captured by the camera, several ordinary images are saved within 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 minute 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 high-contrast scene, and a non-moving target are other conditions that help to achieve a good-quality UltraMax image.
FLIR Tools/Tools+ and FLIR ResearchIR Max have the ability to process UltraMax images. Other FLIR software will treat the image as a regular image.
To configure the camera for UltraMax, select age resolution = UltraMax.

Achieving a good image

14.1 General

A good image depends on several different functions and settings, although some func­tions and settings affect the image more than others.
These are the functions and settings that you need to experiment with:
• Adjusting the infrared camera focus.
• Adjusting the infrared image (automatically or manually).
• Selecting a suitable temperature range.
• Selecting a suitable color palette.
• Changing the measurement parameters.
• Performing a non-uniformity correction (NUC).
The following sections explain how to work with these functions and settings. In some situations, you may also want to hide the overlay graphics for a better view.

14.2 Adjusting the infrared camera focus

It is very important to adjust the focus correctly. Incorrect focus adjustment affects how the image modes work. It also affects the temperature measurement.

14.2.1 Manual focus

You can adjust the focus manually by rotating the focus ring. For more information, see section 11.4 Adjusting the infrared camera focus manually, page 30.

14.2.2 Autofocus

You can autofocus the infrared camera by pushing the Autofocus button. For more infor­mation, see section 11.5 Autofocusing the infrared camera, page 31.
WARNING
When the camera is set to autofocusing with the laser method (Settings > Device settings > Focus > Auto focus >Laser), do not point the camera at the face of a person when you use the autofocus function. The
laser beam can cause eye irritation.
Note You can also assign the autofocus function to the programmable button . For more information, see section 11.12 Assigning functions to the programmable button, page 38.

14.2.3 Continuous autofocus

The infrared camera can be set up to perform continuous autofocusing. For more informa­tion, see section 11.6 Continuous autofocus, page 32.
WARNING
Do not point the camera at the face of a person when the continuous autofocus function is on. The cam­era uses laser distance measurements (that are continuous) for the focus adjustments. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.

14.3 Adjusting the infrared image

14.3.1 General

An infrared image can be adjusted automatically or manually. In automatic mode, the camera continuously adjusts the level and span for the best image
presentation. The colors are distributed based on the thermal content of the image (histo­gram color distribution). The temperature scale to the right of the screen shows the upper and lower temperatures of the current span.
In manual mode, you can adjust the temperature scale to values close to the temperature of a specific object in the image. This will make it possible to detect anomalies and smaller temperature differences in the part of the image of interest. In manual mode, the colors are distributed evenly from the lowest to the highest temperature (linear color distribution).
In manual mode, you can adjust the image by touching the screen or by using the naviga­tion pad. For more information, see sections 14.3.2 Manual adjustment by touching the screen, page 65 and 14.3.3 Manual adjustment by using the navigation pad, page 66.
• In live mode, select
ter automatic or manual image adjustment mode.
• In preview/edit mode, manual image adjustment mode is active.
Note You can also assign image adjustment functions to the programmable button. For more information, see section 11.12 Assigning functions to the programmable button, page 38.
• Switch between auto and manual: Allows you to switch between automatic and manual
image adjustment modes.
• Auto adjust the manual temperature scale: Allows you to perform an automatic adjust-
ment of the image while remaining in manual image adjustment mode.
14.3.1.1 Example 1
Here are two infrared images of a building. In the left image, which is auto-adjusted, the large temperature span between the clear sky and the heated building makes a correct analysis difficult. You can analyze the building in more detail if you change the temperature scale to values close to the temperature of the building.

14.7 Performing a non-uniformity correction
(NUC)

14.7.1 General

When the thermal camera displays Calibrating... it is performing what in thermography is called a ”non-uniformity correction” (NUC). An NUC is an image correction carried out by
the camera software to compensate for different sensitivities of detector elements and oth­er optical and geometrical disturbances bration, page 255.
An NUC is performed automatically, for example at start-up, when changing a measure­ment range, or when the environment temperature changes.
You can also perform an NUC manually. This is useful when you have to perform a critical measurement with as little image disturbance as possible. You may, for example, want to perform a manual calibration just before you start recording a video sequence.

Working with image modes

15.1 General

The camera can capture both thermal and visual images at the same time. By choosing the image mode, you select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
• Thermal: An infrared image is displayed.
• Thermal MSX (Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging): The camera displays an infrared im-
age where the edges of the objects are enhanced with visual image details.
• 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
• For the Thermal MSX, Thermal, and Picture in picture image modes, 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/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio, and select any of the image modes.
• For the Digital camera image mode, a digital image with full resolution (5 MP) is stored
when an image is saved. However, no thermal information is stored.
• You can choose to turn off the digital camera. This can, for example, be required in re-
stricted areas and in confidential (e.g., doctor/patient) situations. Select > Save options & storage > Digital camera = Off. When the digital camera is off, only the image mode Thermal is enabled.
• The Thermal MSX, Thermal, and Picture in picture image modes only work correctly for
calibrated lenses. The lens that ships with the camera is factory calibrated. To calibrate a new lens, see section 11.19 Calibrating the lens–camera combination, page 50.

16.5 Changing the measurement parameters

16.5.1 General

For accurate measurements, it is important to set the measurement parameters. Note During normal operation there is typically no need to change the default measure-
ment parameters, see section 16.5.3 Recommended values, page 78.

16.5.2 Types of parameters

The camera can use these measurement parameters:
• External IR window compensation, i.e., the temperature of any protective windows, ex-
ternal 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.
#T810190; r. AJ/46209/46209; en-US
Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
77
Working with measurement tools16
• Object distance, i.e., the distance between the camera and the object of interest.
Note The camera can be configured to automatically measure the distance when an image is saved. With this setting, the Object distance parameter in the image data is automatically updated with the measured distance when an image is saved. (There is no effect on the Object distance setting in live mode.) For more information, see section , page .
• 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 > User interface
options > Emissivity mode > Select from materials table.
Emissivity is the most important measurement 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.

16.5.3 Recommended values

If you are unsure about the values, the following are recommended:
Object distance 1.0 m (3.3 ft.)
Atmospheric temperature 20°C (69°F)
Relative humidity 50%
Reflected temperature 20°C (69°F)
Emissivity 0.95

16.5.4 Procedure

You can set the measurement 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 for a specific object of interest. For a general handheld application, the global parameters are usually sufficient.
Note Emissivity and Reflected temperature are the two most important measurement parameters to set correctly in the camera.

Working with color alarms and isotherms

17.1 Color alarms

17.1.1 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 be-
tween two specified temperature levels.
• Condensation alarm: Triggers when the camera detects a surface where the relative hu-
midity exceeds a preset value.
• Insulation alarm: Triggers when there is an insulation deficiency in a wall.

17.1.2 Image examples

Note The Condensation and Insulation alarms are not supported by all camera models.
17.1.4.1 About the Condensation alarm
To detect areas with potential moisture problems, you can use the Condensation alarm. You can set the relative humidity above which the isotherm will colorize the image.
17.1.4.2 About the Insulation alarm
The Insulation alarm can detect areas where there may be an insulation deficiency in the building. It will trigger when the insulation level (which is called the thermal index in the camera) falls below a preset value of the energy leakage through a wall.
Different building codes recommend different values for the insulation level, but typical val­ues are 60–80% for new buildings. Refer to your national building code for recommendations.

For the Condensation alarm, the following parameters can be set:
• Atmospheric temperature: The current atmospheric temperature.
• Relative humidity: The current relative humidity.

• Indoor temperature: The current indoor temperature.
• Outdoor temperature: The current outdoor temperature.
• Thermal index: The insulation level (an integer between 0 and 100).

Annotating images

18.1 General

You can save additional information with an infrared image by using annotations. Annota­tions make reporting and post-processing more efficient by providing essential information about the image, e.g., conditions and information about where an image is taken.
Annotations are added to the image file, and can be viewed and edited in the image ar­chive, and also when moving files from the camera to reporting software on the computer.
• You can set the camera to display annotation tools when an image is saved. Select
(Settings) > Save options & storage > Add annotation after saving.
• You can also add annotations to a saved image in the image archive.
Note This section describes the procedures for adding annotations to a saved image in the image archive. Adding annotations when saving an image works in a similar way.
