FLIR ThermaCAM B2, User Manual

Page: 19 / 192

3 Welcome!
Thank you for choosing the ThermaCAM™ B2 infrared camera – the industry-standard
tool for carrying out building thermography inspections!
The ThermaCAM™ B2 IR camera measures and images the emitted infrared radiation
from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temperature
makes it possible for the camera to calculate and display this temperature. The
camera system also features a laser pointer, a 2.5" color LCD, an IR lens, a removable
battery and a range of accessories.
The camera is very easy to use. It is operated by using a few buttons which are con-
veniently placed on the camera, allowing fingertip control of major functions. A built-
in menu system also gives easy access to an advanced, simple-to-use camera software
for increased functionality.
To document the object under inspection it is possible to capture and store images
to the camera’s internal memory. The images can be analyzed either in the field by
using the real-time measurement functions built into the camera, or in a PC using
FLIR Systems ThermaCAM Reporter software by downloading the images from the
camera using ThermaCAM™ QuickView.
