The HIKMICRO Handheld Thermography Camera, model HM-TP31-3AUF-E1L, is a portable thermal imaging device designed for various industrial applications, including building inspection, HVAC, and the automotive industry. It is engineered to provide real-time temperature measurements and capture thermal snapshots, helping users identify potential risks and prevent property loss.
The core function of this device is thermometry, which involves detecting temperature changes and measuring real-time temperatures using a built-in high-sensitivity IR detector and high-performance sensor. This capability allows the camera to display the temperature of a scene on the left side of its screen, with the thermometry function enabled by default. The device supports live viewing of thermal images, enabling users to observe temperature distributions in real-time.
A key feature is its snapshot capturing capability. Users can pull the trigger to capture a thermal image, which then freezes the live view and displays the snapshot along with detailed temperature information. These captured images can be saved for later review or analysis. The device also includes a laser light supplement function, which can be activated by pulling the trigger when the laser function is switched on. This laser helps in pinpointing the target area for more accurate temperature readings.
The camera is designed for ease of use, adopting an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to handle during inspections. It supports various configurations to optimize its performance for different scenarios. Users can adjust thermometry parameters, which are crucial for the accuracy of temperature measurements. These parameters include emissivity, which represents the effectiveness of a target in emitting thermal radiation, and temperature, which sets the average ambient temperature. The device also allows for setting the straight-line distance between the camera and the target, with a recommended thermometry distance of 0.2 m to 2 m for target sizes up to 80 x 80 mm. Additionally, users can configure the display to show the max, min, and center temperatures in the live view interface, providing comprehensive temperature data at a glance.
The device also supports other configurations such as temperature measurement range, unit of measurement, and color palettes, allowing for customization based on specific application needs. These settings can be accessed and adjusted through the device's menu system.
The Handheld Thermography Camera is designed for straightforward operation. To begin, users need to ensure the device is charged. For the first charge, it is recommended to charge the device for 48 to 72 hours while it is turned on. Charging is done by opening the top cover, connecting the USB interface to a power adapter using the USB cable. A red LED indicator signifies charging, which turns green once fully charged.
The device's interface includes a screen for displaying thermal images and temperature data, a charging indicator, and several control buttons. The "On/OK/Menu" button serves multiple purposes: holding it powers the device on or off, while pressing it displays the menu or confirms an operation. A "Back" button allows users to exit menus or return to previous screens. Navigation buttons (up, down, left, right) are used to select parameters within the menu, with the "OK" button confirming selections.
Before capturing snapshots or using the device extensively, it is recommended to format the Micro SD card. This can be done through the menu by navigating to "Format Micro SD" and confirming the operation. Once formatted, the device is ready to capture and store thermal images.
Capturing snapshots is initiated by pulling the trigger in the live view interface. After a snapshot is taken, the live view freezes, and the image with temperature information is displayed. Users can then choose to save the picture by pressing the "OK" button or cancel it. It's important to note that snapshots cannot be captured when the device is connected to a PC.
Captured snapshots can be viewed by accessing the "Picture" option in the main menu. Users can then navigate through the saved images using the navigation buttons. If desired, individual pictures can be deleted from this view.
For data transfer, the device can be connected to a PC via a USB cable. This allows users to export captured snapshots to their computer. Upon the first connection, the necessary drivers will be installed automatically. It is crucial not to disconnect the USB cable or remove the Micro SD card during driver installation to prevent device damage.
The device also supports firmware upgrades. To upgrade, users connect the camera to a PC, copy the upgrade file to the device's root directory, disconnect the device, and then reboot it. The device will automatically upgrade, with the process displayed on the main interface. After an upgrade, the device reboots, and the current version can be checked in the "About" section of the menu.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Handheld Thermography Camera. If the device malfunctions, users are advised to contact their dealer or the nearest service center, as unauthorized repairs may void responsibility for problems.
Cleaning the device should be done gently with a clean cloth and a small amount of ethanol, if necessary. It is important to avoid exposing the device to high electromagnetic radiation or dusty environments. The operating temperature range is specified as -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F), with operating humidity at 95% or less. The device is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use but should not be exposed to wet conditions. It has an IP54 protection level and a pollution degree of 2.
Users must be cautious not to aim the lens at the sun or any other bright light, as this can cause damage. If laser equipment is in use nearby, ensure the device lens is not exposed to the laser beam to prevent burnout.
For long-term storage of the built-in battery, it should be fully charged every half year to maintain its quality and prevent damage. The battery is certified by UL2054. The built-in battery is not user-dismantlable; any battery-related repairs should be handled by the manufacturer.
In case of an emergency, such as smoke, odor, or noise emanating from the device, users should immediately turn off the power, unplug the power cable, and contact the service center.
The laser light supplement function requires specific safety precautions. The laser radiation emitted is Class 2, with a wavelength of 650 nm and power less than 1 mW, meeting the IEC60825-1:2014 standard. Users must not stare into the beam and should prevent eyes from direct laser exposure. Before enabling the laser, ensure no humans or inflammable substances are in front of the laser lens. Regular maintenance of the laser is not required; if it malfunctions, the laser assembly should be replaced by the factory under warranty, with the device powered off during replacement. Using controls or procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
For transportation, the device should be kept in its original or similar packaging. All wrappers should be retained for future use, as returning the device for repair without original packaging may result in damage for which the company will not be responsible. The product should not be dropped or subjected to physical shock and should be kept away from magnetic interference.
The device's power supply should meet the Limited Power Source (5 VDC, 300 mA) according to the IEC61010-1 standard. Users should purchase chargers independently and ensure the plug is properly connected to the power socket. Multiple devices should not be connected to a single power adapter to avoid overheating or fire hazards due to overload.
The Handheld Thermography Camera is designed to be a reliable and user-friendly tool for various temperature measurement and thermal imaging tasks, with comprehensive features for operation, configuration, and maintenance.
