Direct Temperature Measurement
The Argus
®
F-Type 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 or heat signatures of people or objects.
The camera can be configured to give a reading in degrees Celsius or degrees
Fahrenheit by using the user software or the on screen menu. Scene
temperatures between -40 and +200
°
C (-40 and +392
°
F) can be displayed.
This feature can be turned off if not required by using the software provided or
the on screen menu.
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
®
F-Type.
These images can then be viewed or deleted using the on screen
menu or software provided. See section 2 for details of on screen
menu. 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 on screen menu or
software.
