1.1 How To Use This Manual
This manual contains information designed to familiarize you with the features and
functions of the MikroScan 7600PRO and to provide step by step instructions on the
instrument’s operation. Information about infrared temperature measurement theory
and thermal imaging is also included together with a guide to care, maintenance and
troubleshooting.
1.2 Conventions

General Information
1.4 Precautions
The following precautions should be followed when handling and operating your
MikroScan 7600PRO thermal imaging camera.
1.4.1 Power
Follow the connection procedures described in Section 3.2 of this manual.
1) Do not use an AC Adapter or batteries other than those provided or
specied by Mikron Infrared, Inc.
2) Do not use a source for line power that is not in accordance with
specications.
3) Do not allow line voltage to exceed the specied noise or uctuations
limits.
1.4.2 Battery Pack
Follow the connection procedures described in Section 3.2 of this manual.
1) Do not disassemble the battery pack or batteries.
If you disassemble the battery pack, the internal circuit will
break and the safety systems for charging and discharging will
not operate properly which may cause overheating, re, or
explosion. Also, if the battery pack is disassembled, it may
generate irritating gas or cause the negative electrode to over-
heat and catch re.
2) Do not short-circuit the battery pack or battery.
3) Do not expose the battery pack or battery to ame or water.
If the battery pack or battery is exposed to ame it may catch
re or explode. If it is exposed to water, the internal circuit
will break and the safety systems for charging and discharging
will not operate properly which may cause overheating, re, or
explosion. Also exposure to water may cause the shielded portion of the battery to corrode and leak.
4) Do not solder the terminal of the battery pack.
The heat may melt the case or break the internal circuit and the
safety systems for charging and discharging will not operate
properly which may cause overheating, re, or explosion. Also
if the battery is heated at 100°C or more, the plastic material of
the gasket and separator may break and cause leakage, overheating, re, or explosion.
5) Do not operate the camera in an enclosed case.
Flammable gas generated by the battery may catch re from
sparks generated from a motor or switch, etc.
6) Do not install the battery terminals (+) and (-) in reverse.

Section 1
General Information
7) Do not charge, overcharge, or charge in reverse with higher
current than the rating.
This may cause the battery to generate gas, catch re or explode.
8) Do not use the battery in equipment that has not been provided or
specied by Mikron Infrared, Inc., as being compatible for use with
the battery.
9) Do not use a charger other than the charger provided or specied by
Mikron Infrared, Inc., as being compatible for use with the battery.
1.4.3 Cable, adapter, cord
Follow the connection procedure for the instrument, AC Adapter and power connector as
described in Section 3.2 of this manual.
1) Do not wet or immerse the adapter in water.
2) Do not use a damaged AC Adapter or extension cord.
3) Do not disconnect the battery or AC Adapter from the instrument with
the power switched to on.
1.4.4 Neck Strap
Follow the neck strap attachment procedure as described in Section 3.3 of this manual.
1) Do not use the strap around your neck when the instrument is in transit between locations.
2) Be especially aware of protruding objects on which the strap can
become hooked.
1.4.5 Environmental Conditions for Use and Storage
1) Do not exceed the storage temperature limits of -20°C to 70°C.
2) Do not exceed the operating temperature limits of -15°C to 50°C.
3) Do not exceed the humidity limit of 30% to 90% Relative Humidity
(non-condensing).
4) Do not use or store the instrument in the presence of poison, ammable gas or materials, explosives, corrosive atmospheres or steam.
5) Do not use or store the instrument where it will be subjected to shock
and vibration extremes.
6) Do not use or store the instrument for extended periods in direct,
intense sunlight or in a location subject to extreme increases in
temperature (e.g. in a car).
7) Do not use or store the instrument in extremely dusty environments.
8) Do not use or store the instrument in the presence of strong electro-
magnetic elds, if possible.
9) Do not use or store the instrument under wet conditions such as
rain or snow unless the hatch, terminal cover and battery have been
secured.

point-and-shoot operation using simple joystick operation, an intuitive menu system,
ve direct access buttons, viewnder and highquality ip out LCD display. It includes
on-board digital voice recording and has the ability to simultaneously record high-de-
nition 14-bit thermal images with digital visual images.
It is battery operated, comes standard with extensive onboard image processing software, and has the ability to store images and data to a standard compact ash memory
card. Images can also be viewed in real-time via the video output or through a built-in
IEEE 1394 (Firewire®) interface. Completely self-contained in a dust proof and splash
proof case, the MikroScan 7600 PRO not only meets IP54 specications, but it also
offers a shock rating of 30G (IEC60068-2-27) and a vibration rating of 3G
(IEC60068-2-6), making it the perfect imager for the even the most extreme of environ-
ments.
2.1 System Overview
The MikroScan 7600PRO is a non-contact, high sensitivity infrared radiometer. It measures the infrared radiation emitted by the target surface and converts this radiation into
a two-dimensional image related to the temperature distribution at the target surface.
Through the use of standard on-board diagnostic software, the image can be used to
provide a picture of temperature variations over the area included in the eld of view, in
either temperature related colors or in black and white. Point temperatures can also be
derived from the image.

obtain information on how the temperatures of the various points are affected by
differences in emissivity settings.
Used to determine the Max, Min, and Avg.
temperatures within a specied area of a
thermal image. When creating a box on
a thermal image, the max, min, and avg.
temperatures within the area of the speci-
ed box are displayed.
By combining use of this function and
the function of dening a box, the temperatures within the specied area can be
tracked with the cursor.

Used to detect when the temperature
on the thermal image goes out of the

periodically saving certain phenomenon to
a memory card and can also automatically

This value is the specied temperature for

As the temperature decreases below the
threshold value, the event occurs. (This
determines an event condition based on
the maximum or minimum temperature
on a thermal image, unless the threshold
value is specied otherwise. When a BOX
setup is set, it judges using the maximum

The MikroScan 7600PRO provides a total
of two temperature ranges. These two
ranges provide an overall temperature
span of -40°C to 500°C (-40°F to 932°F).
Range 1: -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to
248°F).
Range 2: 0°C to 500°C (32°F to 932°F).
The S/N Improvement function aids in
reducing the noise included in the image
signals by means of averaging the image.
See Section 4.9 for more information on
this function.
The Gain Control Feature is used for
performing automatic temperature or automatic sensitivity tracing. See
Section 4.10 for more information on the
Gain Control feature.
Disables the Gain Control Feature.
When LVT is active, the cross cursor
traces a point temperature signal and
always controls for the temperature signal
level to be at the center level of the color
bar. When the cross cursor is not used, the
temperature signal at the center (X=160,
Y=120) of the thermal image is traced.
While level trace is active the LVT is
displayed in the upper-right corner of the
screen.
When AGC is active, it traces the temperature signal of the entire thermal image and
always controls the display sensitivity and
temperature level to be at their optimal
values. By combining use of this mode
and the LEVEL/SENS gain mode of the
range mode, the temperature signal can be
traced beyond the range. When the auto
gain control is active, AGC is displayed in
the upper-right corner of the screen.
Allows you to establish certain display
options.
Allows you to display a visible image.
