3. Getting started.
3.1. Switching the camera on/off
After switching on, it will take up to 30 seconds for the infrared image to appear. The image
will periodically freeze for one or two seconds while the camera re-calibrates itself. This is
normal operation, and the time between these calibrations will increase as the operating
temperature of the camera stabilizes.
3.2. Charging the battery
Note: When the camera is connected to a PC via the USB cable it switches off and
the PC sees the SD card as an external memory
.
3.3. Changing the battery
Open the lock on the battery cover and remove the cover.
Press the on/off button and
hold it for two seconds to
switch the camera on.
Press and hold for three
seconds to switch the camera
off.
The camera’s battery is charged via the
USB port. A fully charged battery will last
approximately 5 hours. A green LED
indicates charging which turns to red when
the battery is charged.
Remove battery.
Insert new battery, ensuring the
terminal pads are towards the front
of the camera.
Replace and lock the cover.

3.4. Focussing
Focus bar Out of focus Focused
When focusing a focus bar appears on the screen to assist in focusing the image. It
indicates the approximate distance in metres (in feet when °F is selected) of a focussed
target from the camera.
3.5. Saving an image
To save a live or frozen image, press the Save button once. If Caption Mode or Voice
Annotation has been turned on, a text caption or voice annotation can be attached to the
image (see section 6).
3.6. Temperature measurement
One of the key functions of a thermal imager is obtaining temperature information about the
scene. The IR32DS has a variety of measurement options to provide maximum flexibility.
The display of temperature values and related items depends on the combination of the
measurement and display options selected. Temperature readings are displayed at the top of
the display. In the default mode, a single reading in °C indicates the temperature at the centre
point of the cursor. The other reading at the top of the display is the reflected temperature
setting (see section 5.1.). The temperature range within the scene is indicated by a scale on
the right hand side of the display.
Gently rotate the lens clockwise and
anti-clockwise to focus the image.
♦ Remember to remove the lens cap.

4. Hotkey buttons.
Pressing any of the hotkey buttons reveals the icons which indicate the functions of these
buttons. A box around the icon for Hotkey1 or Hotkey2 indicates that this option is selected
and this defines the operation of the navigation and toggle buttons. With the default settings,
the key functions are as follows:
Hotkey 1 toggles between Align Image and Cursor.
Hotkey 2 cycles through Visible on/off, Auto/Manual, and Light on/off.
Hotkey 3 toggles between Live and Freeze.
Hotkey 4 opens the menu.
See appendix A2 for a full list of Hotkey button functions.

4.2. Image alignment
As the visible and thermal cameras are not co-axial the visible and thermal image may need to
be aligned. This is usually required when moving to view objects at different distances.
4.2.1. Press Hotkey 1 to toggle to the alignment icon .
4.2.2. Use the up/down and left/right navigation buttons to align the thermal and
visible images.
Note The visible image is moved during alignment.
Examples of alignment.
Fully Aligned
Align left Align right
Align up Align down
Four pre-programmed alignment distances are included. These are at 0.5m, 1m, 2m and
4m ranges. With the alignment option selected by Hotkey1, pressing the toggle button
once aligns at 2 metres. Pressing the toggle button repeatedly cycles through to 4m, 0.5m,
1m, and 2m.
Note: These values appear in feet if °F is selected.
