M7815 Thermal Imager Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The M7815 represents another milestone in innovative infrared thermometry. It is an extremely lightweight, high-performance handheld IR camera offering capabili­ties normally found in models costing much more. This fully-radiometric camera is ergonomically designed for comfortable one-handed point-and-shoot operation and features 320x240 resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate.
It measures the passive infrared radiation emitted by the target surface and converts this radiation into a two­dimensional image relating to the temperature distribu­tion at the target surface. This temperature distribution can then be viewed in full color or grayscale through the flip-up 3.5inch TFT LCD display, which is located on the top of the IR camera. The on-board diagnostic software provides an intuitive menu system, which can be accessed using the button control panel located on the back of the camera.
Completely self-contained in a highly-durable hous­ing, it is both dust-proof and weather resistant, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. It is battery operated, uses advanced uncooled UFPA microbolometer technol­ogy, and stores 14-bit images and data to internal flash memory. The images and image data can then be trans­ferred to an external device using the USB-2 port.
