Device description

The thermal camera IC085LV / IC125LV creates a visible image depicting infrared radiation which is otherwise invisible to the human eye. The thermal image and temperature are displayed on the screen in real time. To improve the view, you can select various colour palettes for depicting the thermal image.
Furthermore, you can superimpose IR and digital images (IR DuoVisionPlus) in order to obtain a higher-contract thermal image.
For a measured result which is as precise as possible the ambient temperature, reflected temperature, relative humidity, distance and emissivity can be entered.
A list of emissivities for various surfaces is provided in the chapter Emissivity. For a precise evaluation, the thermal image on the screen can be frozen or, if the microSD memory card is inserted, saved in the device. The saved images can later be viewed either directly on the camera screen or on a PC using an analysis software.
To edit the images, you can download the IR-Report 2.X STD software from the download (or Service) section of www.trotec.com.

Emissivity

The emissivity is used to describe the energy radiation characteristic of a material (see also chapter Thermography terms).
A material's emissivity depends on various factors:
• composition,
• surface condition,
• temperature.
The emissivity can be between 0.01 and 1 (in theory). The following rule of thumb can be assumed:
• When a material is rather dark and its surface texture matt, it probably has a high emissivity.
• The brighter and smoother the surface of a material, the lower will be its emissivity, presumably.
• The higher the emissivity of the surface to be measured, the better it is suited for non-contact temperature measurement by use of a pyrometer or thermal imaging camera, since falsifying temperature reflections can be neglected.
Entering a degree of emission as accurate as possible is indispensable for a precise measurement.
Most organic materials have an emissivity of 0.95. Metals or shiny materials come with a much lower value.

Thermography terms

Span (contrast)
If the temperatures in the image are homogenously distributed and close together, the image might not be very colourful / contrasty, and the contours might not be easily visible. To increase the image's contrast, press the up or down button of the central menu keyboard. This increases or reduces the temperature range set. The representation of individual thermal areas in the image changes and becomes more contrasty.
Level (average temperature / temperature level / brightness)
When changing the span (see Span), it often makes sense to also adjust or shift the average temperature (Level). If, for instance, the span is reduced to a minimum first and then the level of this extremely narrowed temperature range is shifted up/down, the image will become useless even in parts as it will either have a totally excessive or insufficient contrast. However, this allows you to visualize even the smallest temperature differences in the object when traversing the individual temperature sections.
Highly reflective surfaces reflect all temperatures whatsoever from surrounding heat sources, which are thus indirectly captured and measured by the thermal imaging camera, while the surface temperature of the actual measuring object is not being measured. To overcome this problem, special labels or sprays with a high defined emissivity are often applied on the surface to be measured.
The general rule is: The higher the emissivity, the lower the reflectance, the easier the thermography.
Reflected temperature
The location of heat sources in the surroundings influencing the measurement and the determination of the average temperature which is emitted by them and can be reflected by the object to be thermographed.
Emission
Any object whose temperature lies above absolute zero (-273.15°C) emits heat radiation. Its surface condition (e.g. colour, structure, material composition etc.) and temperature, among other things, determine how well the heat is emitted. The emissivity of an object indicates who much heat it radiates compared to an ideal black body. An ideal black body has a theoretical emissivity of 1. Other factors such as transmission and reflection can be neglected in this ideal case. In practice, however, this is not possible. Surfaces that strongly reflect in the visible light spectrum are often also highly reflective in the infrared spectral range, as is the case with polished aluminium for instance.
The formula is: transmission + reflection + emission = 1
In most cases, the transmission factor can be neglected. If the surface to be thermographed is highly reflective, the share of reflection increases correspondingly and the share of emission decreases.
Example:
• transmission = 0
• reflection = 0.8
• emission = 0.2

The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative effects for the environment and human health caused by the disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the equipment.
You are responsible for deleting any personal data stored on the waste equipment to be disposed of.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must not be treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6September 2006 on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
