Note
All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time for accurate temperature
measurements and best image quality. Warm-up time can vary by model and
environmental conditions. Although most imagers are fully warmed up in
3 minutes to 5 minutes, wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate
temperature measurement is important to your application. When you move an
Imager between environments with large differences in ambient temperature,
allow for additional adjustment time.
Focus
Correct focus makes sure that the infrared energy is correctly directed onto the pixels of the
detector. Without correct focus, the thermal image can be blurry and the radiometric data may
be inaccurate. Out-of-focus infrared images are frequently unusable or of little value.
To focus with the advanced manual focus system, rotate the Manual Focus Control until the
inspection object is in proper focus. Use the advanced manual focus system as an override to
the LaserSharp Auto Focus System. See LaserSharp Auto Focus System.
