– Always use the U5850 Series with the cables provided.
– Observe all markings on the U5850 Series before establishing any
connection.
– Turn off the U5850 Series before removing the battery cover.
– When servicing the U5850 Series, use only the specified replacement
parts.
– Do not operate the U5850 Series with the battery cover or portions of the
cover removed or loosened.
– Use only the designated AC/DC power adapter or charger provided by the
manufacturer to avoid any unexpected hazards.
– Use only the battery pack supplied with the U5850 Series. Do not
disassemble/modify the battery pack or leave it under direct heat/
sunlight.
– Keep the battery pack away from water, fire, or heat.
– Avoid any contact with battery leakage to prevent personal injuries. If
there is leakage or strange smell, remove the battery pack immediately
from the U5850 Series or the external battery charger.

WARNING
– Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the
CAUTION
battery pack (metallic part) to each other with any metal objects, such as
wires.
– Do not continue to charge the battery pack if it does not become charged
within the specified charging time.
– Do not apply impact to or insert foreign objects into the battery pack.
– Do not use the camera on a tripod in an area with large vibration or shock.
– Do not use the U5850 Series under water or with conductive gloves or
cloths worn or in a strong electromagnetic field.
– Do not stare into the torch light.
– Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
– The U5850 Series uses a highly-sensitive infrared detector. Ensure to
comply with the requirements in “Environmental Conditions” on page 8
when using the U5850 Series.
– Do not apply excessive stress to the LCD screen, the focus adjustment
ring, or the camera lens to avoid damages.
– Avoid direct rays or shock to the visible or infrared camera lens of the
U5850 Series.
– Do not perform image acquisition directly at the sun or objects with
extremely high temperature over a long period of time to avoid damage to
the infrared detector.
Keysight U5850 Series User’s Guide 5

CAUTION
– The following condition may be observed when the U5850 Series
acquires or saves a visible image. This condition is not a device failure.
– The color of the visible image changes periodically or may be different
from the real target object when the image is replayed in the freeze
mode.
To avoid this condition, perform image acquisitions by changing the
camera angle. In this case, it is recommended to acquire visible images
by observing the image on the screen.
– The following condition may be observed in outdoor data acquisitions.
This condition is not a device failure.
– If the contrast is great (e.g., due to backlight), the object may appear
darker on the camera display as compared to the brightness of the
background.
To avoid this condition, control the frame so that it covers only the target
object.
– If bright sunlight enters the visible camera, the entire picture may
become reddish. To avoid this, shield the camera from bright sunlight.
– When the U5850 Series is moved from objects with large temperature
differences, “ghost” image may be present on the display. This condition
is not a device failure. It may take several minutes to dissipate the “ghost”
image. You can automatically dissipate the “ghost” image by switching to
the freeze mode and back to the run mode (refer to “Image Playback” on
page 56).
– Do not input laser beam (CO
detector.
– If the U5850 Series is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the U5850 Series protection may be impaired.
– Always use a dry cloth to clean the U5850 Series. Do not use ethyl
alcohol or any other volatile liquid to clean the U5850 Series.

Preparing the U5850 Series
Check the shipment
When you receive your instrument, check the shipment according to the following
procedure.
1 Inspect the shipping container for damage. Signs of damage may include a
dented or torn shipping container or cushioning material that indicates signs
of unusual stress or compacting. Save the packaging material in case the
instrument needs to be returned.
2 Carefully remove the contents from the shipping container, and verify that the
standard items are included in the shipment according to the standard shipped
items list shown in “Standard shipped items” on page 22.
3 For any enquiries, refer to the Keysight contact numbers on the back of this
manual.
If any item is found missing or damaged, contact your nearest Keysight Sales
Office.
Introduction 1
Keep the original packaging in case the U5850 Series has to be returned to
Keysight in the future. If you return the U5850 Series for service, attach a tag
identifying the owner and model number. Include also a brief description of the
problem.

Set the emissivity (ε)
Emissivity is the ratio of energy radiated from an object and energy radiated from
blackbody. The emissivity varies with the surface condition of the object. The
emissivity value is expressed between 0.10 to 1.00.
Enter an emissivity value

NOTE
Set the reflected temperature (RT)
RT can be corrected to obtain a more accurate temperature measurement
especially for low-emissivity objects.
You can manually enter an RT value or run the RT calibration (RT Cal) for
reflection source correction. When the source of reflection exists around an object
and the temperature of the source of reflection is known, you can enter the RT
value manually. If the temperature of the source of reflection is not known,
perform RT Cal to obtain the RT value automatically.
RT Cal cannot be executed during freeze mode and image logging.

Set the object distance (OD), ambient temperature (AT), and
humidity (Hum)
You can perform compensation for ambient parameters (OD, AT, Hum) to correct
atmospheric errors in your temperature measurements.
Ambient parameter settings are not supported in the freeze, playback, and
image logging modes.

Set the transmissivity (τ)
Some IR energy may be lost when transmitted through an external window; this
transmissivity error must be corrected to improve the accuracy of your
temperature measurements.
Transmissivity setting is not supported in the freeze, playback, and image
logging modes.

NOTE
CAUTION
Data Management Controls
These controls allow you to log images, check the memory status, manage your
image folders, and format the SD memory card.
Perform image logging
You can log IR, visible, or fusion images at defined intervals. During logging,
folders are automatically created in the SD memory card to store the images. The
folder created at the first logging interval will be named LOG_0001, then
LOG_0002 at the next interval, and will increase subsequently.
All functions are not accessible during image logging.
Do not perform image logging on objects with extremely high temperature
over a long period of time to avoid damage to the infrared detector.
