Note

Emissivity Adjustment

All objects radiate infrared energy. The actual surface temperature and emissivity of the target affects the quantity of energy radiated. The Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the target and uses the data to calculate an estimated temperature value. Many common materials such as wood, water, skin, cloth, and painted surfaces, including metal, radiate energy well and have a high emissivity factor of emissivity.
Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals do not radiate energy well and have a low emissivity factor of <0.60. For the Imager to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual temperature of targets with a low emissivity, adjust the emissivity setting.
≥90 % (or 0.90). The Imager measures temperatures accurately on targets with a high
Warning
To prevent personal injury, see emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.
Set emissivity as a direct value or from a list of emissivity values for some common materials. If the emissivity value is <0.60, a caution shows on the display.
Note
Surfaces with an emissivity of temperatures. The lower the emissivity is the greater the potential of error is when the Imager calculates the temperature measurement because more of the energy reaching the camera is specified as background temperature. This is also true even when adjustments to the emissivity and reflected background adjustments are performed properly.

image with double the resolution. See Detailed Specifications the resolution available based on the model of the Imager.
In SuperResolution mode, the Imager captures the data and processes the image.
In SuperResolution (in PC only) mode, the image is not processed on the Imager so you cannot view the image on the Imager. Use SmartView software to view the image on your PC.
MultiSharp Focus
MultiSharp Focus captures several images focused on multiple targets that are positioned at different distances from the Imager and creates one image that focuses on the multiple targets at the same time.
Note
The minimum focus distance with MultiSharp Focus and a standard lens is 15 cm (6 inches). For optimum performance, position the camera ≥23 cm (9 inches) from the closest target. MultiSharp Focus also works with all compatible lenses.
To use:
1. Point the Imager at the target.
2. Capture an image. Hold the Imager still while it captures the images.
Saving… shows on the display for ∼2 seconds for a 60 Hz model or 5 seconds for a 9 Hz model.
3. When Saving… no longer shows on the display, you can move the Imager. If necessary, use a tripod to stabilize the Imager while the images save.
• In MultiSharp Focus mode, the Imager collects the images in the Imager and shows the focused
image on the display in ∼8 seconds for a 60 Hz model or ∼15 seconds for a 9 Hz model.
Confirm the image on the display is what you need. If possible, process the images on the Imager.
• In MultiSharp Focus (In PC only) mode, the Imager collects the images in a single file and
shows the image on the display as it appears before you capture the image (∼2 seconds for a 60 Hz model or ∼5 seconds for a 9 Hz model).
In MultiSharp Focus (In PC only) Mode, you cannot view the focused image on the Imager. If possible, download, process, and view the image(s) on your computer while you are at the job site. To view the focused image, open the image with SmartView software.
Note
Some targets have abnormal thermal characteristics that can cause the MultiSharp Focus algorithm to fail. If MultiSharp Focus mode does not capture a clear image, use LaserSharp Auto Focus or Advanced manual focus.

Gas Detection Conditions

The Imager detects gas leaks based on:
• The temperature difference between the gas and the background environment
• The wind speed
• The amount of clutter in the background scene (for example, clouds)
• The stability of the Imager
• The proximity of the Imager to the leak
Note
The lower the volume of the gas leak the more challenging it is for the Imager to detect the leak.
To improve the gas detection rate, place the Imager where:
• The temperature difference between the gas and the background environment is the greatest.
• There is a light wind.
• There is limited clutter in the background scene. A clear blue sky is optimal.
• The Imager is stable. When possible, use a tripod and High Gain (Tripod) mode.
• The Imager is close to the leak. If close proximity is not possible, use the 2X lens.
