Direct Temperature Measurement 

The Argus

TM

4 allows the operator to view the 

average temperature of the centre spot of the 
scene (defined by the target markings). The 

temperature reading is displayed in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. 
This system is intended to give the operator the ability to detect possible 
hazards such as hot gas bottles or tanks. 

 

The camera can be configured to give a reading in degrees Celsius or degrees 
Fahrenheit by using the user software or the remote control. Scene 
temperatures between -40 and +800 

°

C (-40 and +1472 

°

F) can be displayed. 

(Argus

TM

4 HR320: -40 and +1000 

°

C; -40 and +1832 

°

F). This feature can be 

turned off if not required by using the software provided.

 

 

Note

: If the object in the scene does not fully fill the target marks then a false 

reading may be obtained. 
Different materials have differing surface emissivities, which will produce 
variations in the temperature readings. Variations can also be caused by the 
distance from the object. This temperature measurement must be regarded as 
an indication and not a guaranteed reading. 
If the temperature falls outside the maximum value, the display will show “+++“.

 Image Capture 

Up to 100 images can be captured and stored in the Argus

TM

4. 

These images can then be viewed or deleted using the remote 
control or software provided. See section 2 for details of remote 
control. Using the software provided, captured images can be 

downloaded to a suitable laptop/PC in several formats. 

 

To capture an image, press the left-hand button. The image capture symbol 
appears for a short time above the ambient temperature reading and the 
number of the image out of 100 will also be indicated on the display. 

 

If the image capture button is pressed and the camera already has 100 images 
stored, a ‘CAMERA FULL’ warning will appear. Before further images can be 
captured, unwanted images will need to be deleted using the remote control or 
software.
