1 Safety
Before you proceed to operate the camera, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the present
manual and observe the safety regulations and specifications defined by the manufacturer.
Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may result in a
damage to the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.
The camera must not be used in rooms where special conditions are present e.g. fire
and explosion risk.
It is forbidden to use damaged or malfunctioning camera and is partially or fully out of
order.
In case the camera is not used for a long time, its batteries should be removed.
It is not allowed to use the camera with half-closed or opened battery cover and do not
use any other power adapter than the one supplied with the camera.
Repairs may be carried out only by an authorised service point.
KT series Thermal Imagers are designed to measure and record the images in the infrared. The camera is constructed in a manner which gives you maximum performance and
safe-ty at work, however the following precautions must be adhered to at all times (in addition to any advised precautions applicable at the relevant work-site or work area):
Keep the camera steady during operation.
Do not use the camera in ambient temperatures exceeding its operation and storage
temperature ranges.
Do not direct the camera toward very high intensity radiation sources such as
the sun, lasers or welding arcs etc.
Do not expose the camera to dust and moisture. When operating the device near wa-
ter, ensure that it is adequately guarded against splashes.
When the camera is not in use or is to be transported, ensure that the unit and its ac-
cessories are stored in the protective carry case.
Do not obstruct the speaker holes in the camera’s body.
Do not re-switch on the imager before 30 seconds after switching it off and do not re-
move the battery when the imager is on.
Do not throw, knock or shake intensely the camera and its components in order to
avoid the damage.
Do not attempt to open the imager's body, as this action will void the warranty.

USER MANUAL
7
FPA calibration (FPA - Focal Plane Array): in order to ensure accurate temperature
measurement, the FPA detector was calibrated in different temperature points. After
switching the imager on, it performs auto calibration procedure every once in a while.
During the calibration, for about 1 second, the device does not respond to user’s
activity, during this time the sound of a shutter clicking twice is heard.
Calibration can be performed manually at any time. In order to do that, the 'C'(2) button needs to be programmed into 'Calibration' mode (the 'C' button programming process is described in chapter 11.1). Then, while in real time mode press 'C'(2) button
and the calibration procedure will be carried out..
During imager operation its housing temperature increases and it’s a normal phenom-
enon.
NOTE!
KT-670 (KT-560, KT-650) Thermal imager has no parts that could
be repaired or modified by its user. Never attempt to dismantle or modify the
device. Opening up the unit invalidates the warranty.

2 Description of the camera
Thank you for purchasing our thermal imager.
KT series imagers are modern, high-quality, easy and safe to use measuring devices.
Based on infrared, 640x480 (KT-560:400x300) pixel detector allow to capture high-quality,
fully radiometric thermal images. Our products combine high-quality measurement parameters with an innovative and intuitive interface, based on a new operating system, to
create an intelligent solution in the field of thermal imaging. The camera operation, with a
large, movable, touch screen is very comfortable. Together with the pivoting part of the
camera body, where the high grade lens is located, these set of features create an ideal
solution that brings the camera's ease of use to a new level, especially in places that require difficult angle shots. Thanks to the built-in viewfinder, bright outdoor lighting is not an
issue. In addition to standard modes like IR (infrared), visual and PIP (picture in picture),
the camera has a new mode for mixing images, overlapping and blending outlines of the
visual image on the infrared image. User can take and store static images or record and
save video clips. The available range of software tools allows an image analysis on the
go, also in the live mode. Each infrared image can have a text note, voice annotation
and/or sketch attached to it. With the provision of built-in GPS and compass, the camera
automatically tags the locations where the pictures are being taken. On site reports are
possible with the embedded PDF report editor. The camera provides a number of ways to
connect with external devices, both wired (LAN, USB, HDMI) and wirelessly (Wi-Fi, KT670: Bluetooth).
Please acquaint yourself with this manual to improve your daily work with the device, and
to avoid measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to operation of the imager. The camera operation and available options may vary, depending on the camera
model. This manual describes the operation based on the highest specs model available.

12 Accurate temperature measurement
Temperature measurement accuracy depends mainly on the below factors. During the
measurements the camera undertakes corrections based on signals read from the sensors. In some situations and for some materials it may be necessary to the adjustments
manually. It must be remembered that there are three basic measurement parameters,
that can't be changed after capturing an image:
- Focus – images that are out of focus are not only blurred, but also they don’t carry accurate temperature indications,
- Framing – it is essential that an image is properly framed, so the object and all its necessary parts are within the frame. Otherwise the picture may be of little or no use,
- temperature range – If the temperature of the object, or its part, exceeds the temperature
range that is set in the camera, it may not be possible to later determine the exact temperature of this area.
Page 63
USER MANUAL
61
When all the above parameters have been considered, then the next important step is to
properly configure the measurement parameters. The following section is a simplified description of each parameter and their impact on the measurement results.
Emissivity. Infrared measurements base on receiving the infrared radiation emitted by objects. The amount of radiation energy is based on two main factors: surface temperature and
emissivity of the object's surface. Considering that surrounding object are, in most cases, not
transparent for infrared radiation, to simplify the measurements, it is assumed that the radiation that reaches the object is divided into:
- emitted - radiation emitted directly by the measured object,
- reflected - the ambient radiation reflected from the surface of the measured object.
For the camera, the sum of the emitted and reflected radiation equals 1. The ration of the reflected and the emitted radiation is described by the emissivity coefficient.
For example, if the emissivity is set to 0.2, then the camera (to put it in simple terms) assumes that 20% of the radiation coming from the measured object is emitted by the object itself, and 80% is the reflected radiation. Considering the above, a special algorithms calculate the correct surface temperature of the measured object.
Exemplary values of emissivity coefficient for selected materials are presented in the emissivity table. Poorly chosen value of the emissivity coefficient may cause significant temperature reading errors. And for that reason the camera allows to adjust the value of the coefficient in the range of 0.01 ... 1.00.
Measurement accuracy also depends on the ambient temperature (also known as the reflected temperature). By default, the temperature measured by the camera is used, however
it should be remembered that ambient temperature is neither the temperature of the air surrounding the camera, nor the temperature of the measure object itself. The ambient temperature is the temperature of the object (the energy emitted by the object), which is reflected
on the surface of the object being measured. In order to maintain accuracy of measurements, proper value of ambient temperature should be accounted for - especially, if the
emissivity coefficient is changed or these changes will be performed by processing a
thermal image with computer program. This value should be changed manually in order
to determine proper relation of the examined object temperature and the surrounding temperature.
The influence of the distance from the object on the measurement accuracy may be
significant, depending on the medium in which the object is located (air, fog, smoke ...)
and its impact on the attenuation of thermal radiation. It is possible to adjust this
value.
Relative humidity may also influence the accuracy of measurement, it is possible to change
the default value for any value from the range of 0…100%.
Page 64
THERMAL IMAGER SONEL KT-560, KT-650, KT-670
62
Wind (air flow) is another factor influencing the measurement of the object's temperature, as
it cools the surface of an object altering its temperature. Pictures should not be taken in
strong wind.
Additionally, to achieve an accurate temperature readout, hold the camera steady. It is recommended to carry out the auto-calibration of the camera, before starting to capture images.
13 SD card

15.5 General rules of using Lithium (Li-Ion) batteries)
If the device is unused for an extended period, remove the battery and store it separately.
The battery stored in state of deep discharge can get permanently damaged.
The battery should be stored in dry, cool and well-ventilated place and it should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight. If the battery is stored for an extended period at a
location with high temperature in it, then the chemical processes occurring within it may
shorten its expected life span.
Do not charge and use Li-On batteries in extreme temperatures (don’t overheat and don’t
expose the batteries to very low temperatures). Extreme temperatures decrease battery
life. Avoid placing devices powered with rechargeable batteries in very warm/hot places.
Their nominal working temperature must be strictly observed.
Li-Ion cells are vulnerable to mechanical damages. Such damages can contribute to permanent damage of those type of batteries, and thus the ignition. Any interference in the
structure of the battery may lead to its damage. Shorting poles (+ and -) of the battery
may cause permanent damage and auto-ignition of the battery.
Do not immerse the Li-Ion batteries in liquids, do not store them in conditions of high humidity.
In case the electrolyte, that is filling the inside of the Li-Ion battery, makes direct contact
with eyes or skin, rinse them with a large amount of water and contact your doctor immediately. The battery should be used in a way, that makes it beyond access for random
people. Keep it away from children.
Whenever any changes in Li-Ion battery is observed (different color, swelling, excessive
temperature), it must cease to be used. Mechanically damaged, overcharged or deeply
discharged batteries are not suitable for use.
Improper use of the battery can cause its permanent damage. It can lead to its spontaneous combustion. The seller and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages resulting from improper handling of the Lithium-Ion battery.

21 Cleaning and maintenance
NOTE!
Use the below specified methods of maintenance only.
Camera enclosure - all surfaces, except for optical elements of the camera, can be
cleaned with a soft and moist cloth with generally available mild detergents. Do not use
any solvents or cleaning agents that could scratch the enclosure (powder, paste, etc.).
During cleaning, the camera must be turned off.
Due to the applied anti-reflective coating, optical lens are the most sensitive and at the
same time the most expensive part of the camera (the lens is of key importance to radiometric capabilities of the infrared system). Therefore it is important to close the protective
lens cover after each use of the camera. Optical surfaces should be cleaned only, when
they are visibly fouled. Do not touch exposed surfaces of optical lens with fingers, because fouling left with fingerprints can be harmful to coatings and glass of the lens.
Chemical agents must not be used for cleaning the optical viewfinder, and particularly optics and accessories of the camera. Use a clean, dry and soft cloth for cleaning the body
of the viewfinder; for cleaning the lens, use only the supplied lens cleaning cloth.
