3.9 Connectors
See Figure 2.3 Connectors, page 3.
The purpose of this USB mini-B connector is the following:
• Charging the battery using the FLIR power supply.
• Charging the battery using a USB cable connected to a computer.
Note Charging the camera using a USB cable connected to a computer
takes considerably longer than using the FLIR power supply or the FLIR
stand-alone battery charger.
• Moving images from the camera to a computer for further analysis in FLIR
Tools.
Note Install FLIR Tools on your computer before you move the images.
3.10 Screen elements
See Figure 2.4 Screen elements, page 3.
1. Main menu toolbar.
2. Submenu toolbar.
3. Spotmeter.
4. Result table.
5. Status icons.
6. Temperature scale.
3.11 To keep in mind
• By default, most cameras adapt the scale automatically. Use this mode first,
but do not hesitate to set the scale manually.
• A thermal camera has a resolution limit. This depends on the size of the de-
tector, the lens, and the distance to the target. Use the center of the spot tool
as a guide to the minimum possible object size, and get closer if necessary.
Make sure to stay away from dangerous areas and live electrical components.
• Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the target—you may be-
come the main source of reflection.
• Select a zone of high emissivity, e.g., an area with a matte surface, to perform
a measurement.
• Blank objects, i.e. those with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the
camera, as they mainly reflect the environment.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.
