Overview

The Klein Tools TI220 Thermal Imager is a specialized device designed to transform your Android® smartphone into a powerful thermal imaging tool. It allows users to easily capture, store, and share thermal images and videos, including time-lapse sequences, for instant troubleshooting of hot and cold spots. This device is particularly useful for professionals who need to identify temperature anomalies in various environments.

Function Description

The TI220 functions by connecting directly to an Android® device, leveraging the smartphone's display and processing power to visualize thermal data. It features a high-resolution thermal sensor capable of detecting temperature differences across a wide range, making it ideal for identifying issues like electrical overloads, HVAC problems, insulation gaps, and plumbing leaks. The imager provides a visual representation of heat, allowing users to "see" temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye.

Key functionalities include:

  • Temperature Measurement: The device can measure and display temperatures, including center-point temperature, differential temperature (the difference between two points), and high/low temperature crosshairs. Users can select between Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.
  • Image and Video Capture: It allows for the capture of still thermal images (JPG format) and thermal videos (MP4 format). This is crucial for documenting findings and sharing them with colleagues or clients.
  • Time-Lapse Video: A unique feature is the ability to record time-lapse thermal videos, which can be invaluable for monitoring temperature changes over extended periods, such as during equipment startup or cool-down cycles.
  • Temperature Alarms: Users can set high and low-temperature alarms, which provide visual or audible alerts when temperatures exceed or fall below predefined thresholds. This helps in quickly identifying critical temperature conditions.
  • Color Palettes: The imager offers selectable color palettes (e.g., Ironbow, Rainbow, Grayscale) to visualize thermal data in different ways, allowing users to choose the most effective display for their specific application.
  • Emissivity Adjustment: To ensure accurate temperature measurements, the TI220 allows users to adjust the emissivity setting, which accounts for the varying thermal radiation properties of different materials. This is a critical feature for obtaining reliable readings on diverse surfaces.

Usage Features

The TI220 is designed for ease of use, integrating seamlessly with your Android® device through a dedicated mobile application.

  • Connectivity: The device offers both USB-C and micro-USB connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Android® smartphones and devices. It includes a USB-C to micro-USB adapter and a USB-C extension for flexible connection options, accommodating various phone cases.
  • Mobile Application: The Klein Tools Thermal Imager App, available for free on the Google Play™ store, is essential for the device's operation. The app provides the user interface for viewing thermal images, controlling capture functions, and accessing settings.
  • Live View Mode: The app displays a live thermal feed from the imager, allowing users to scan areas and identify temperature anomalies in real-time. The screen shows various temperature indicators, markers for high/low/center points, and a live temperature color palette.
  • Photo/Video Gallery: Captured images and videos are stored directly on the Android® device and can be accessed through the app's gallery. Users can view, organize, share, and delete files from within the application.
  • Touch Screen Temperature: The app allows for touch-screen interaction to pinpoint specific temperatures on the thermal image, providing detailed readings for areas of interest.
  • Settings Customization: The app offers a comprehensive settings menu where users can customize various parameters, including temperature scale, crosshair visibility, temperature bar display, differential temperature, touchscreen temperature, shutter sounds, alarm sounds, high/low temperature alarm thresholds, color palettes, emissivity, and time-lapse capture intervals.
  • Intuitive Controls: The app features clear icons for photo capture, video capture, time-lapse video, and settings, making it easy to navigate and operate the imager's functions.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the TI220 is straightforward, focusing on proper handling and storage to ensure its longevity and continued performance.

  • Cleaning: The device should be cleaned with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. It is crucial to ensure the unit is not connected to a device during cleaning and to avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the housing or sensor.
  • Storage: To protect the imager, it should not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity. If the unit has been stored in extreme conditions outside its specified operating range, it should be allowed to return to normal operating conditions before use to ensure accurate performance.
  • Durability: The TI220 is designed with a degree of ruggedness, featuring a 6.6 ft. (2m) drop protection, which helps it withstand typical job site conditions.
  • No User-Serviceable Parts: The device is designed without user-serviceable parts. Users are explicitly warned not to open or attempt to repair the unit, as this could void the warranty and potentially damage the sensitive internal components.
  • Environmental Considerations: The manual emphasizes not pointing the camera at the sun or other strong energy sources, as this can affect accuracy or cause damage to the sensor.
  • Disposal/Recycling: At the end of its lifespan, the equipment and its accessories should be disposed of properly in accordance with local regulations, with resources like www.epa.gov/recycle provided for guidance.

The Klein Tools TI220 Thermal Imager is a versatile and user-friendly tool that extends the diagnostic capabilities of an Android® smartphone, making thermal imaging accessible for a wide range of professional applications.
