Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the IR FlexCam® portable infrared camera (referred to
hereafter as the “Camera”). This award-winning Camera offers some of the
most advanced, yet most intuitive, fully-radiometric solutions available. The
visible light camera module (VLCM) and IR Fusion functions (on select
models only) make it easier than ever to manage and analyze images captured
with this system and improve reporting abilities. The unique control image and
IR Fusion technology enables you to combine visible light images—like a
normal digital camera—and infrared images together to create a single image
with greatly enhanced detail. This is especially helpful in low contrast scenes
where the temperature differential is minimal and the infrared image appears to
be all one color.

The IR FlexCam is available in 7models. The TiR2, Ti40 and Ti45 cameras
use a detector with 160 x 120 resolution. The TIR3, TiR4, Ti50 and Ti55
cameras use a detector with 320 x 240 resolution. Refer to Appendix D for
specific features available on your camera.

Your Camera is powerful and easy to use in a wide range of applications
including:

Predictive Maintenance

• Electrical Systems—Identify circuit overloads before they happen.

• Mechanical Systems—Reduce downtime and prevent failures.

• Utilities—Monitor substations, transmission lines, etc. efficiently and

accurately.

Building Science

• Roofing—Detect and isolate water saturation quickly and efficiently.

• Building Envelope—Perform commercial and residential infrared energy

audits.

1-1

TiR2,TiR3,TiR4,Ti40,Ti45,Ti50,Ti55

Users Manual

• Moisture Detection—Get to the source of moisture and mold growth.

• Restoration—Evaluate remediation work to make sure area is completely

dry.

Research and Development

• Visualize and quantify generated heat patterns to improve products and the

processes used to create them.

Process Monitoring

• Monitor and observe temperatures of processes in real-time.

To quickly take advantage of the many functions your Camera offers, we
recommend that you carefully read this manual. It is designed to familiarize
you with the most important aspects of your camera and guide
you in using the features of this system. This manual provides instruction on
how to capture high quality images; however, thermography is a sophisticated
field often requiring special training that is not covered in this manual. If you
would like information on thermography training, contact Fluke Corporation .

Safety Information

Use your Camera only as specified in this manual.
A WWarning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause

bodily harm or death.

1-2

Introduction
Safety Information

A WCaution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the camera
or cause permanent loss of data.

1

WCaution

• To avoid damaging your Camera, treat it with care as you

would any type of precision equipment.

• Your infrared camera is a precision instrument that uses a

sensitive infrared (IR) detector. Pointing your camera
towards highly-intense energy sources—including devices
that emit laser radiation and reflections from these
devices—may adversely affect camera accuracy and may
harm or permanently damage your camera’s IR detector.

• Your camera was calibrated prior to shipping. We

recommend that you have your camera checked for proper
calibration every two years. Some ISO 9000 programs
require more frequent checks for certification. Contact
Fluke for details.

• Your camera requires three minutes to warm up before

accurate measurements are available.

*WWarning

• Your camera contains a Class 2 laser pointer. See diagram

in Appendix B for laser aperture location.

• To avoid eye damage, do not point laser directly at eye or

indirectly off reflective surfaces.

• Use of controls or adjustments or performance or

procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• Do not use camera in a manner not specified in this

manual or the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.

Power Camera On

With a charged battery inserted, or AC power supply connected, press D as
shown in Figure 1-3. D lights up green, and the start-up screen appears after
approximately 10 seconds.

Note

After powering on your camera, the camera requires a boot up and
warm up period of approximately 30 seconds in order to maintain a
crisp, clear, real-time image. Three minutes after powering on the
camera, the temperature measurement accuracy will be within the
specification requirements.

Camera Overview

Introduction

Your Camera is a compact, lightweight system that offers a generous five-inch
display module you can position for optimal viewing. You can also rotate the
lens module to easily capture target images on ceilings, hidden above high
objects, under low obstacles, or in other hard-to-reach places. In addition, you
can position the camera for comfortable desktop image analysis and can mount
the system on a standard tripod to continuously monitor a single location.
Although your Camera
functions, it is easy to operate using buttons, mouse-controlled menu options,
or a combination of both.

The visible light camera module (VLCM), available on select Camera systems,
adds a 1.3 mega pixel visible light sensor that improves your ability to identify
and analyze thermal anomalies and to provide visible light control images for
your reports.
