intelliRock® III– Operating Instructions Guide
Using the Thermal Camera
New in the intelliRock III system is a lepton, 160 X 120 resolution thermal imaging camera. This
thermal imaging capability enables users to take thermal photos of concrete structures to
visually detect temperature differences. For example, a thermal image can provide evidence of
good coverage in situations where thermal blankets are in use for the thermal protection of the
concrete pour.
To use the thermal camera, press the FLIR logo button. The reader screen will display the FLIR
logo during camera activation as shown in Figure 4.17.

It will take the camera a few seconds to normalize the image and calibrate itself after startup.
The camera lens is located on the back of the intelliRock reader, and once the camera is active,
it will display a live, thermal image on the screen of whatever the lens sees.
Pressing the “alt” key on the reader keyboard will cause the camera to cycle through all its
available color palettes as shown in Figure 4.18.

After selecting the desired color palette, press the camera icon button to take a thermal image.
Thermal images are initially stored on the intelliRock reader, along with the palette information.
Once thermal images are uploaded to the intelliRock cloud, users have the option of changing
the color palette if desired.
