Caution
To prevent damage to the Imager, remove it from the DC car
charger before you start or jump start the vehicle.
Power On and Off
To turn on or turn off the Imager, push and hold for two seconds, see
Table . The Imager has Power Save and Auto Off features. See page 36 for
more information about how to set these features.
Note
All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time for the most
accurate temperature measurements and best image quality. This
time can often vary by model and by environmental conditions.
Although most imagers are fully warmed up in 3-5 minutes, it is always
best to wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate temperature
measurement is very important to your application. When you move
an Imager between environments with large differences in ambient
temperature, more adjustment time can be required.
Operation in Extreme Conditions
Storage and/or continual operation of the Imager in extreme ambient
temperature conditions can result in temporary interruption of operation. If this
occurs, let the Imager stabilize (cool down or warm up) before you resume
operation.
The two-part trigger is located in the standard trigger position for a pistol-grip
device. The larger, green trigger is the primary trigger. The smaller, black
trigger is the secondary trigger.
In normal operation, the function of the primary trigger is to capture a thermal
image for possible storage to memory by the user.
The secondary trigger operates the LaserSharp™ Auto Focus System and
laser pointer. See page 32 for information about how to enable and disable the
LaserSharp™ Auto Focus System.
Focus
The Imager uses the LaserSharp Auto Focus System and an advanced manual
focus system. Correct focus is important in all imaging applications. Correct
focus makes sure that the infrared energy is correctly directed onto the pixels of
the detector. Without correct focus, the thermal image can be blurry and the
radiometric data may be inaccurate. Out-of-focus infrared images are frequently
unusable or of little value.
The LaserSharp Auto Focus System, only from Fluke, uses a precisionadjusted and aligned laser pointer to indicate the area of focus. To focus with
the LaserSharp Auto Focus System, depress the secondary (black) trigger on
the Imager handle. Aim the laser pointer at the target. When satisfied with the
location of the laser pointer, release the trigger. The system automatically,
rapidly, and reliably focuses on the precise point where the laser was aimed.
Note
•The user can enable and disable the LaserSharp Auto Focus
System.
•The laser pointer is aligned parallel to the infrared lens. If using
AutoBlend Mode, the laser pointer dot will always be positioned
just above the center point marker on the LCD display. However,
it is easier to use your eyes to locate the visible laser pointer on
the object under inspection.
To focus with the advanced manual focus system, place finger on the
electronically-driven focus wheel control and rotate the control until the
inspection object is in proper focus.
The user is able to use the advanced manual focus as a manual
override of the LaserSharp™ Auto Focus System.

All objects radiate infrared energy. The quantity of energy radiated is based on
the actual surface temperature and the surface emissivity of the object. The
Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the object and uses this
data to calculate an estimated temperature value. Many common objects and
materials such as painted metal, wood, water, skin, and cloth are very good at
radiating energy and it is easy to get relatively accurate measurements. For
surfaces that are good at radiating energy (high emissivity), the emissivity
factor is ≥90 % (or 0.90). This simplification does not work well on shiny
surfaces or unpainted metals as they have an emissivity of <0.60. These
materials are not good at radiating energy and are classified as low emissivity.
To more accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity
correction is necessary. Adjustment to the emissivity setting will usually allow
the Imager to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual temperature.
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.
SmartView Software
SmartView® software is supplied with the Imager. This software is intended for
Fluke Imagers and contains features to analyze images, organize data and
information, and make professional reports. SmartView

Range and Manual Range. The icon in the upper right-hand corner of the LCD
screen will indicate the change by saying Auto or Manual.
Fast Auto Rescale (in Manual Mode)
When in Manual Range and NOT in a menu mode, push and release to
automatically rescale the level and span range for objects in the thermal field of
view. This feature operates the Imager in a semi-automatic mode if manual fine
re-adjustment of level and span with the arrow buttons is not necessary.
Rescaling can be done as often, or as little, as needed.
Note
The Imager always powers up in the same Level and Span mode,
Auto or Manual, as when it was powered down.
Temperature Level for Manual Operation Mode
When put into manual ranging, the level setting moves the thermal span up or
down within the total temperature range. See Figure 4. In the live manual
mode, the arrow buttons are always available to adjust the level and span.
To set the level:
1. Push to move the range to a higher temperature level.
2. Push to move the range to a lower temperature level.
While you adjust the manual level, the scale along the right side of the display
shows the thermal span as it moves to different levels within the total range.
When in manual mode, the span setting contracts or expands in a selected
palette in a temperature range within the total range. See Figure 4. In the live
manual mode, the arrow buttons are always available to adjust the level and
span.
To adjust the temperature span:
1. Push to increase or widen the temperature span.
2. Push to decrease or narrow the temperature span.
While you adjust the manual span, the scale along the right side of the display
shows the thermal span increasing or decreasing in size.
Emissivity Adjustment
The correct emissivity values are important for the Imager to make the most
accurate temperature measurement calculations. Emissivity of a surface can
have a large effect on the apparent temperatures that the Imager observes.
Understanding the emissivity of the surface being inspected can, but not
always, allow you to obtain more accurate temperature measurements.
If you set a value that is <0.60, shows on the Imager display with this
caution:
Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make reliable and consistent
determination of actual temperatures problematic. The lower the
emissivity, the more potential error is associated with the Imager's
temperature measurement calculations. This is also true even when
adjustments to the emissivity and reflected background adjustments
are performed properly.
Emissivity is set directly as a value, or from a list of emissivity values for some
common materials.
If the Display is set to Display All, you see the information about
current emissivity as ε = x.xx.
Caution:
Emissivity <0.6
(see Manual)
Note
Note
Adjust by Number
To set the emissivity value:
1. Go to Measurement > Emissivity > Adjust Number.
2. Push / to change the value.
A custom emissivity value is indicated when any value not in the standard
emissivity table is selected.
Background (Reflected Background Temperature
Compensation)
Compensation for reflected background temperature is set in the Background
tab. Very hot objects or very cold objects can affect the apparent temperature
and measurement accuracy of the target or object of interest, especially when
surface emissivity is low. Adjustment of the reflected background temperature
can make the temperature measurement better in many situations. For more
information, see Emissivity Adjustment.
To adjust the background temperature:
1. Go to Measurement > Background.
2. Push / to change the value.
3. Push or when done.
Note
If the Display is set to Display All, you see the information about
current reflected background temperature as BG = xx.x.
Transmission/Transmittance Adjustment
When you do infrared inspections through infrared-transparent windows
(IR windows), not all of the infrared energy emitted from the objects of interest
is transmitted through the optical material in the window. If the transmission
percentage of the window is known, you can adjust this percentage in the
Imager or in the SmartView

IR-Fusion® Technology
IR-Fusion® technology makes it easier to understand, analyze, and
communicate infrared images through the use of an aligned visible image and
infrared image. The Imager automatically captures a visible image with every
infrared image to show you precisely where a potential problem might be, and
then allows you to more effectively communicate it to others.
The Imager has various apparent temperature color alarms. The hightemperature color alarm shows a full visible image and only shows infrared
information on objects or areas that are above the set apparent temperature
alarm level. The low-temperature (or dew point) color alarm shows a full visible
image and only shows infrared information on objects or areas that are below
the set apparent temperature (or set dew point) color alarm level. The user
must manually determine and set these parameters. The imager also displays
color isotherms, or infrared information, inside or outside of a set of both high
and low limits.
Note
The Imager does not sense ambient or surface dew point level
automatically. To use the low-temperature color alarm function as a
dew point color alarm, manual determination and input of surface dew
point temperature will yield the best results. Depending on the
situation, the colors presented may help identify areas of concern with
possible dew point condensation.
If you set values for the high-temperature color alarm and a low-temperature
color alarm, the Imager will have the options for inside or outside isotherm color
alarms.
To set an outside/inside isotherm color alarm:

File Format
Data can be saved to the internal memory, micro SD memory card, or a USB

.jpg, and .is2. These selections remain valid when you turn the Imager off or on.
To change the file format:
1. Go to Settings > File Format.
2. Push / to highlight an option.
3. Push to set the option.
Images saved in the .is2 file format have the consolidation of all data into a
single file and are more flexible for analysis and modification in the included
SmartView software. This file format consolidates the infrared image,
radiometric temperature data, visible image, voice annotation, and photos from
the IR-PhotoNotes™ photo annotation system into one location.
For situations where a smaller file size with maximum resolution is needed and
modification is not, choose the .bmp file format. For the smallest file size where
modification is not needed and image quality and resolution are not as
important, choose the .jpg file format.
The .bmp and .jpg files can be emailed and then opened on most PC and MAC
systems without special software. These formats do not allow full analysis
capabilities or modification.
The .is2 file format can be emailed and then opened with SmartView Software.
This format has the maximum versatility. Visit the Fluke website or contact
Fluke to find out how to download SmartView analysis and reporting software at
no charge.
