temperature differences

HIGH CONTRAST Shows the most detail

HOT/COLD Indicator marks

To turn the HOT/COLD Indicator marks on or off
while taking a temperature measurement, press
the OK button during live view. Red (hot) and blue
(cold) target marks locate the highest and lowest

temperatures in the display area.

Taking a Temperature Measurement

1. Insert a battery pack and turn

on the tool.

2. Point the tool at the target.

The Target Temperature is dis­played at the top of the screen.

3. To activate the laser guides,

pull the trigger softly (less than

to Spot Ratio".

4. Turn the HOT/COLD

indi-

cator marks on or off, or toggle

through the different palettes
to get the desired image on the display.

5. The center temperature is affected by the material

of the target, and can be adjusted by changing the
Emissivity. See "Selecting the Emissivity".

Using the Laser Indicators

Use the lasers to frame up the target area. The
lasers correlate to the temperature crosshair on the

display. Lasers are accurate to 3" @ 50'. The target
temperature is taken in between the laser indicators,

and sized according to the following chart.

83:1 Distance to Spot Ratio

At 83' away,
spot is ~Ø 1'

At 25' away,
spot is ~Ø 4"

At 3' away,
spot is ~Ø 1/2"

NOTE: A quick change in temperature (>10°F) can
affect the meter’s readings. Always allow the me­ter to reach its stable operating temperature after
startup and before use (5 to 30 minutes, depending
on environment).

Viewing Images on Another Device

Saved images can be transferred to another device in
two ways - by removing the SDHC card and inserting
it into another device, or by connecting the Infrared

Camera directly to another device. This allows the

images to be available for things like email, insert­ing into documents, or for use in the MILWAUKEE

Thermal Imaging Software.
To transfer the SDHC card, follow the Removing/

Installing the SDHC Memory Card instructions. To

transfer pictures directly, connect the micro USB
cord to the Infrared Camera micro USB port. Con­nect the other end to your device. Turn the Infrared
Camera on.

Two types of les are created for each image. A
".PNG" le is created for general use. A ".DAT" le
is created for use in the MILWAUKEE Thermal Imag-

ing Software.
