Quick Start Guide
Follow this procedure to get started right away:
1. Charge the battery for 4 hours.
2. Insert the battery into the camera.
3. Insert an SD memory card into the card slot (C3) at the bottom of the camera.
4. Push the On/Off button (A10) to turn on the camera. Allow 45 seconds for the
start-up sequence.
5. Aim the camera toward your target of interest.
6. Push the Preview/Save button (B2) halfway down to autofocus the camera.
7. Push the Preview/Save button (B2) fully down to save an image.
8. To move the image to a computer, do one of the following:
○ Remove the SD memory card (C3) and insert it into a card reader connected
to a computer.
○ Connect a computer to the camera using a USB Mini-B cable (C2).
9. Move the image from the card or camera using a drag-and-drop operation.
To keep in mind
• Adjust the focus first. When the camera is out of focus, the measurement is wrong.
• By default, the camera adapts 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 detector,
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 or live electrical components.
• Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the target—you can become
a source of infrared radiation through reflection.
• Select a zone of high emissivity, i.e., an area with a matte surface, to perform a
measurement.
• Blank objects, i.e., with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the camera,
as they can cause reflections.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.
• Various types of faults, such as those in a building’s construction, may result in the
same type of thermal pattern.
• Correctly analyzing an infrared image requires professional knowledge about the
application.
