User Manual
Safety Warning:
The equipment described in this document uses a Class 2 laser. Under no account should
anyone look directly into the laser beam or the laser beam exit aperture, irreversible damage
to the eye may occur. The laser should not be operated when there are personnel in the
imager’s field of view.
Caution – use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

f) Temperature measurement
Temperature readings are displayed at the top of the display. In the default mode, a single
temperature in °C is of the centre point of the cursor. The other readings at the top of the
display are emissivity settings and reflected temperature setting. Two cursors or a
measurement area can be selected from the measurement options menu (see section 5).
The temperature range within the scene is indicated by a scale on the right hand side of
the display.

Image alignment
As the visible and thermal camera are not co-axial the visible and thermal image often need to
be aligned. This is usually required when moving to view objects at different distances.
1. Press Hotkey 2 to toggle through to the Visible On/Off icon . If
off toggle the centre button to turn the visible option on .
2. Press Hotkey 1 to toggle through to the alignment option .
3. Use the up/down and left/right navigation buttons to align the thermal
and visible images.
4. The alignment facility is only available when the camera is on and in live
mode.
♦ Note the visual image is moved during alignment.
Examples of alignment.
Fully Aligned
Align left Align right
Align up Align down
5. Four pre-programmed alignment distances are included. These are at 0.5m,
1m, 2m and 4m ranges. With the alignment option selected by HK1, pressing
the toggle button once aligns at 2 metres. Pressing the toggle button again
allows you to cycle through to 4m, 0.5m and 1m. These values appear in
feet if °F is selected.

See frequently asked questions for more details of each item.
♦ Emissivity
Set emissivity value between 0.10 and 1.00 for measuring temperature.
Pressing Hotkey 3 (ε Table) gives a table of emissivity values of common materials
from which a selection can be made.
♦ Palette
Display in image using different colour palettes.

3. Isotherm Style 7. Black Hot
4. Hot Metal 8. White Hot
♦ Reflected Temp
Usually set to the ambient temperature.
Applies only when emissivity of less than 1 is selected.
♦ Temp units
Choose between °C and °F.
♦ Integration
Chose an integration period from 1 (fast) to 9 (slow).
This determines the trade off between display speed and noise.
♦ Interpolation
Choose Off or On.
This shows or hides the thermal image pixelation.

5.2. Measurement options
This menu enables the selection of options for temperature measurements. The symbols
shown below indicate the icons shown for Hotkey 1 when the various options are selected.
See frequently asked questions for more details of each item.
♦ Cursors
. Choose between one or two cursors. When two cursors are chosen, the
temperatures at both cursors and the temperature difference between them will be
displayed. When one of the cursors is selected by Hotkey 1, it can be moved around on
the display by the navigation buttons.
♦ Tracking
.Select “High”, “Low”, or “High & Low” in order to track and measure the hottest
point, the coldest point, or both hottest and coldest points in the image.

.If this option is turned on, the highest, lowest, and average temperatures within
the designated area will be displayed. Three different area size boxes can be selected
via Hotkey 1.
Note that the above three items are mutually exclusive, i.e. when one is turned on the
other two are disabled.
♦ Isotherms
.Select “High”, “Low”, or “High & Low” in order to highlight areas of the scene
with temperatures within one or two temperature bands. The temperature bands are
adjustable by means of Hotkey 1 and the navigation keys.
♦ Temp. profile
.Select “Horizontal” or “Vertical” to enable a histogram of temperature values
along a horizontal or vertical cross section to be displayed on the right hand side of the
display. The position of the cross section is indicated by small arrows at the left and
right or top and bottom of the image and can be adjusted by means of Hotkey 1 and
the navigation buttons.
♦ Temp alarms
.Select “High”, “Low”, or “High & Low”. Visual and audio alarms will be
triggered if either cursor or a point within the designated area is higher or lower than a
set temperature. The high and low set temperatures may be adjusted by means of
Hotkey 1 and the navigation buttons.
