LEVEL/SPAN

STORING AND 

ANALYSING IMAGES

• 

Two settings are fundamental to obtaining 

an effective thermal image, the first is clear 

focus and the second is the correct thermal 

range which is adjusted by Level and Span 

Settings.

• 

With Auto Level and Span enabled in the 

Settings Menu the range is automatically 

adjusted to display both the hottest and 

coldest temperature within the field of view.

• 

When more sensitivity is required level and 

span must be set manually by disabling 

auto level/span in the Settings Menu and 

using the L+/Land S+/S- buttons on the 

rear of the camera. Start by increasing the 

span (sensitivity) to the required setting and 

then increase or decrease the level (range) 

so that the object is visible at the required 

sensitivity.

• 

The Image Save Button on top of the 

handgrip is used to store images (except 

when periodic save is enabled).

• 

When you want to save an image, press the 

Image Save Button and a Save Image menu 

will appear. Use the joystick to select yes 

and press joystick to save.

• 

If RFID scan is enabled in the Settings Menu 

you will be asked to scan an RFID tag to link 

the saved image to a location.

• 

If text annotation is enabled in the Settings 

Menu you will be asked to select one of 4 

pre-programmed text comments. After this 

the image is stored in the camera memory.

• 

If voice annotation is enabled in the Settings 

Menu you will be asked to record your 

message. Press the joystick on the Record 

Button, speak (maximum ten seconds) and 

then press the joystick on the Stop Button 

to finish.

• 

To review saved images within the camera 

press VIEW on the rear of the camera and 

use the joystick to select the image required. 

Pressing the joystick will display the stored 

image full size on the camera display 

showing all of the parameters displayed 

when the image was saved. Moving the 

joystick up and down will change the display 

colour palette.
