WARNING
DO NOT OPEN OR EXCHANGE PARTS! REPAIR ONLY CAN BE CONDUCTED BY STUFF!
NOTICE
In order not to cause malfunction or even damage the device
please do not direct the lens towards strong high-temperature radiation source (such as the sun) whether the power is on or off!
Avoid violent shock and impact during operation or transport.  Storage temperature is between -40
O
C and 70OC. The device
must be kept in original packing case during transport .
Typical storage place is cool, dry, ventilated, and without
strong electromagnetic field.
Keep the lens surface off grease or any chemical substance
which would damage the lens. Close the lid after operation.
In case of condensation on lens surface, close the lens cap
when switching lens under environment with wide temperature differential.
Please regularly backup data on PC to prevent potential data
loss and format the internal FLASH memor
y duly to make it
operate properly.

Emissivity
Emissivity varies with different target subject material, surface temperature, surface roughness, measurement angle, etc. Press or once to change Emissivity by 0.01. Long press
or will change Emissivity
in 0.1 intervals.
Distance
This value can be omitted if target subject is close to device (less than 10m). Otherwise, set Distance value accordingly to get more accurate
temperature reading. Press
or once to change Distance 0.1m.
Long press or will change Distance in 1m interval.

change Humidity in 10% interval.
Adjust Ratio
Due to long time usag
e, the sensitivity of IR detector may decrease. In
such case, it is necessary to adjust ratio value to get more accurate
27
temperature reading. During calibration, if temperature reading is higher than actual target temperature, change ratio value lower, and vise versa.
Press
or once to change ratio value by 0.01. Long press or

2.2 Measuring Temperature Zone
The functional options in measuring area are shown below:
The measurement objects can analyze the thermal images by the
following three kinds of analysis methods: point, line, and ar ea.
Line measurement analysis has three types: arbitrary l ine, horizo ntal
line, vertical line but multiple-line analysis is also av ailable.
Area measurement analysis has below: rectangular, elliptical and
polygonal analysis.
The system can analyze up to 20 spots objects, 10 lines analysis
object, 20 area analysis objects, 10 polygonal objects and 10 elliptical objects simultaneously.
2.2.1 Select Measured Objects
The prior sequence of object selection is point, line, and area.
When two or more objects are simultaneously selected, the system
can operate in accordance with the above prioritization. e.g.: if both a point object and a line object are simultaneously selected, the point is more prior than line, the point object will be prior selected; If both an area object and a line object are simultaneously selected, the line is more prior than the area; the line object will be prior selected.
15
If two or more areas are simultaneously selected, the smaller area will
prevail. e.g.: If Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 are simultaneously selected, Rectangle 1 is smaller than Rectangle 2, Rectangle 1 will prevail.
