The Yellow JacketTM 52030F Thermal Imager is an accurate, high-quality
handheld thermal imaging camera. The 52030F has been designed
exclusively for the purpose of performing elevated skin temperature
screening. The 52030F thermal imager meets the recommendations
established by the U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for elevated skin
temperature screening. The 52030F has a measurement accuracy of ±0.9F
(±0.5C) over a temperature screening range of 93.2-102.2°F (34-39°C).
The thermal imaging camera has been calibrated in the factory using
a blackbody temperature reference source. No on-site calibration is
required.
Meets international performance standards for thermographic devices.
Not FDA-cleared or approved.

PRODUCT USE RECOMMENDATIONS
• Please read this Operating Manual carefully before using the
thermal imager
• The optimal measuring distance for this product is 3 feet.
• To ensure measurement accuracy, please use the product in an
operating environment of 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C), <85% relative
humidity (non-condensing).
• Please use the thermal imager indoors and in a room with minimal air
movement. When changing to a new environment, please turn on the
thermal imager 10 to 15 minutes before you begin taking measurements.
• The ambient temperature for measuring must be stable. Do not measure
in places where there is a lot of airflow from fans or air outlets.
• If the person being measured has been in a place where the temperature
was significantly warmer or cooler than the measurement environment,
have that person remain in the measurement room for 10 to 30 minutes
before taking their temperature.
• The 52030F measures the surface temperature of an object. If
temperature compensation is needed, please adjust in the Settings menu.
• The thermal imager is self-calibrating. If the reading jumps quickly, allow
the measurement to steady before taking a reading.
• After measuring extremely high or low temperature objects, leave the
product alone for about 10 minutes before next use.
• Do not use the product in places with strong sunlight or electromagnetic
interference.
• Please do not use this product in flammable, explosive, steamy, wet or
corrosive environments.
• Please stop using the product if it has been damaged or modified to avoid
inaccurate measurement results.
• Highly Recommended: For high measurement accuracy, ensure that the
emissivity setting in the thermal imager matches the surface material (ex.
human skin) you are measuring.
• For better results, , please warm-up the thermal imager for 10 minutes
before performing measurements.
• When the battery is being charged, the internal temperature of the
product will increase. This can impact the accuracy of temperature
measurements. Therefore, it is not recommended to take measurements
while the product is being charged or right after it has been charged.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING
ELEVATED SKIN TEMPERATURE SCREENING
• Temperature measurement should not be solely or primarily relied upon
to diagnose or exclude a diagnosis of COVID-19, or any other disease
• Elevated body temperature in the context of use should be confirmed with
secondary evaluation methods (e.g., an FDA approved non-contact
infrared thermometer (NCIT) or a clinical grade contact thermometer)
• Public health officials, through their experience with the device in the
particular environment of use, should determine the significance of any
fever or elevated temperature based on the skin telethermographic
temperature measurement
• The thermal imaging camera should be used to measure only one
subject’s temperature at a time
• Visible thermal patterns are only intended for locating the points from
which to extract the thermal measurement.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING THE THERMAL IMAGER
FOR ELEVATED SKIN TEMPERATURE SCREENING
(Consistent with ISO/TR 13154: 2017 guidelines on thermograph usage)
Preparing the Area where you will use the thermal imaging system
• Recommended room temperature should be 64-86 °F (18-30 °C) with
a relative humidity of 60 percent.
• Try to control other conditions that could impact the temperature
measurement:
• Avoid reflective backgrounds (for example, glass, mirrors, metallic
surfaces) to minimize reflected infrared radiation.
• Set up the thermal imaging camera in a room with minimal movement
of air, out of direct sunlight, and away from radiant heat (for example,
portable heaters, electrical sources).
• Avoid strong lighting (for example, incandescent, halogen and quartz
tungsten halogen light bulbs).
PREPARING THE PERSON BEING EVALUATED
The person operating the thermal imaging system should make sure
the person being evaluated:
• Does not have any face obstructions during measurement (such as a
mask, glasses, hat, headband, or scarf), the person's hair is pulled away
from the face, and the person’s face is clean and dry.
• Does not have a higher or lower face temperature from wearing excessive
clothing or head covers (for example, headbands, bandanas) or from using
facial cleansing products (for example, cosmetic wipes).
• Has waited at least 15 minutes in the measurement room or 30 minutes
after exercising, strenuous physical activity, bathing, or using hot or cold
compresses on the face.
PREPARING THE THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEM
• The 52030F thermal imager does not require the use of a black body
for calibration during evaluation
• Turn on the camera 30 minutes before use.
USING THE THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEM
• Measure only one person’s surface skin temperature at a time.
• Position the person at a fixed distance of 3 feet (1 meter) from the
thermal imaging system, directly facing the camera.
• Recommended viewing angle is approximately 21° vertical x 21°
horizontal
• The image area should include the person’s whole face
• If an increased temperature is seen using the thermal imaging system,
you should use a different method to confirm a fever. Public health
officials can help you determine if the fever is a sign of infection.

EMISSIVITY/TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
Emissivity is a number which describes a materials ability to emit thermal
radiation. It is a number between 0.1 and 1. A number like 0.1 represents
a perfect reflector (like aluminum foil) whereas the number 1 represents a
perfect emitter (like black cloth). You can adjust the emissivity setting of
the thermal imager to match the material being measured. Using an emissivity setting that matches the material you are measuring will ensure that
your temperature measurements are as accurate as possible. For example,
if you are monitoring the temperature of concrete as it cures, you would set
emissivity to 0.94 (see chart below) so your measurement is as accurate as
possible.
TO SET EMISSIVITY
1. Press the up/down button to select the
Emissivity option in the Settings menu.
2. Press the SET button to enter the
Emissivity submenu.
3. Press the up/down button to select
emissivity or temperature compensation.
4. Press the SET button to enter the
parameter adjustment state.
5. Press the up/down button to increase
or decrease the value.
6. Press the SET button to save the settings.
7. Press the back button to exit the
