1.1  Intended use 
Thank you for choosing the optris
®
 PI infrared camera. 
The  optris  PI  calculates  the  surface  temperature  based  on  the  emitted  infrared  energy  of  objects  
[►7 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plane array) allows a 
measurement of an area and will be shown as thermal image using standardized palettes. The radiometric 
processing  of  the  picture  data  enables  the  user  to  do  a  comfortable  detailed  analysis  with  the  software 
PIX Connect. 
 
The PI is a precise instrument and contains an extremely sensitive infrared detector and a high-
quality lens. 
 
The  alignment  of  the  camera  to  intensive  energy  sources  (e.g.  devices  which  emit  laser 
radiation  or  reflections  of  such  equipment)  can  cause  an  irreparable  defect  of  the  infrared 
detector. This is also valid if the camera is switched off. 
 
Such kinds of damages are excluded from warranty. 
 
 
 
Read the manual carefully before the initial start-up. The producer reserves the right to change 
the herein described specifications in case of technical advance of the product.
