2.Preliminary knowledge of thermal imager
For a long time, infrared thermal imaging detection
technology has become an important means to ensure
Industrial safety in developed countries.
The application field includes electric power, metallurgy,
petro-chemistry, machinery,coal, traffic, fire control and
national defense, etc.
It can not only carries out real-time detection at high
voltage, high current and high speed operation to
perform real-time detection for production and
instrument but also need not power off the power supply,
stop the machine or stop the production to find the
potential problems and prevent occurrence of
malfunction.
The “non contact” modern detection technology is safe,
reliable and quick.
It is a type of technical revolution compared with
traditional contact detection method.
The infrared thermal imaging technology is widely
used in the following fields:
The inspection of electric equipment, lines of
transmission and transformers;
Search of concealed fire source in fire control;
7
Personnel search and rescue and commanding at fire
site;
Make analysis of the leakage position and heat loss of
thermal pipeline and heating equipment;
Determine the position of heating failure of the
operation train;
Analysis of rationality of wire of microelectronic
industry;
Night monitoring of security departments.
3.Overview
This product is an infrared camera that integrates
surface temperature measurement and real-time thermal
image.
The traditional inferred thermometer needs to measure
every component one by one while it is not necessary
for infrared imaging camera, thus saving time.
The potential problems may be displayed on color
display screen clearly.
Moreover, the central point measurement cursor is used
to locate quickly and accurately to measure the
temperature of the target object.
In order to increase the differentiation, the product is
8
provided with a visible light camera.
The thermal images and visible images are stored in the
device and can be read through USB or stored in a
computer to generate a report or for print.
With small volume, the product is easy to operate and
has strong function.
It is the ideal selection for electric power, electronic
manufacturing,industrial inspection and other fields.
The following major functions increase the product’s
accuracy and usability:
The radiation coefficient may be adjusted to increase the
measurement accuracy of objects with half reflection
surface.
The highest temperature and lowest temperature cursor
may guide the users to the areas with highest and lowest
temperature of the thermal images.
The selectable color palette
4.Cleaning of the products
Please use damp cloth or weak soap to clean the
enclosure of the device.
Don’t use abradant, isopropanol or solvent to clean.
Lens and screen should be cleaned by professional
9
optical lens cleaner
Lens maintenance
Prevent damage of the infrared lens
Clean the infrared lens carefully.
The lens is provided with refined anti-reflection coating.
Don’t clean with force to prevent damage of the
anti-reflection coating.
Please use cleaning solution for lens maintenance such
as alcohol-containing commercial lens cleaning solution,
alcohol or isopropanol as well as a piece of lint free
cloth or paper tissue.
The compressed air tank may be used to remove the
loose particles.
Clean the lens:
The compressed air tank or dry nitrogen ion gun (if
applicable) may be used to blow the loose particles on
the lens surface.
Dip the lint free cloth in alcohol.
Squeeze the excessive alcohol in the cloth or apply the
lint free cloth on dry cloth lightly.
Wipe the lens surface by making circular motion.
Then discard the cloth.
If it is necessary to repeat above step, please use new
cloth to dip with the cleaning solution to wipe.

5.Use Type C USB cable to charge:
The product has built-in chargeable 18650 lithium
batteries.
When the battery level is low, the top right of the screen
will display Please charge in time through Type
C interface.
The top right of the screen will display “ ” when
charging.
The icon “ ” displays when the battery is fully
charged.
Pull off the USB line after fully charging.
To make the lithium ion battery can play the perfect
performance:
Don’t place the battery on the charger exceeding
24 hours.
The thermal imaging device should be charged
for two hours at least every three months so as
to extend the battery life as long as possible
Don’t try to charge the battery in extremely cold
environment.

10.3 Introduction of “color palette” sub-menu
10.3.1 Color Palette Description
The menu of color can change the false color of infrared
thermal image.
Some color palette are better suited for specific applications
and can be set as needed.
There are 5 color palettes : rainbow, iron red, cool, white hot
and black hot.
These palettes are most userful for high thermal contrast and
provide additional color contrast between high and low
temperatures.
Suitable selection of color palette displays the details of the
target objective better. Rainbow, iron oxide red and cold color
palettes focus on display of color.
Such color palettes are very suitable for high heat contrast and
are used to improve the color contrast between high
21
temperature and low temperature.
While the black & white and white & black color palettes
provide even linear color.
The following is the image of the same object with selection
of different color palettes.
Rainbow Iron Cold White Black

10.4 Introduction of “emissivity” sub-menu
10.4.1 Emissivity description
The emissivity of the product can be adjusted from 0.01 to
1.00 with the default value of 0.95.
Many common objects and materials (such as timber, water,
skin and textile fabric) can reflect the heat energy effectively.
So it is easy to obtain relatively correct measurement value.
The emissivity is usually set as 0.95 when the coarse objects
that are easy to give out energy.
For semi-matte objects that give out less energy, the
emissivity is usually about 0.85 and the emissivity of
semi-gloss objects is 0.6.
The shiny objects are divided into materials with low radiation
coefficient.
The emissivity is usually set as 0.3 at the time of measurement.
Correct setting of the value of emissivity is very important for
you to carry out the most correct temperature measurement.
The surface emissivity will produce giant impact on surface
23
temperature measured by the product. Understanding the
surface emissivity will enable you to obtain correct
temperature measurement result.
10.4.2 Emissivity setting
The product is provided with four types of object
measurement modes:
Coarse object (0.95)
Semi-matte object (0.85)
Semi-shiny object (0.60)
Shiny object (0.30)
According to the characteristics of the measured objects, users
may set the emissivity value through the “self-define” option
(please refer to the table of “emissivity of common
materials”).
The operating step is as the following:
24
As shown in the figure, press “ ” key to enter the main
menu and select “ ”(emissivity) option and press “ ”
