SETTINGS MENU
How to use the setting menu
Press the Menu / OK button [2] to open the settings menu.
Press the Up arrow [4] or Down arrow [5] buton to select the menu the menu item
you like to change
Press the OK button [2] to enter the sub menu or set focus on the current selected
item. Use the Left Key (CAL) [3] to return to the previous menu.
If you want to exit the menu, press the Power / Back (escape) / Lock button [6]
PALETTE MODE
You can choose between 5 color palettes to show the thermal image.
· Navigate to the option Palette in the settings menu.
· By pressing the OK button [2] you can choose between the 5 suggested pal-
ettes.
TEMPERATURE UNIT
The Tempviewer 6400 can show temperatures in °C, °F and K.
· Navigate to the option “Temp Unit” in the settings menu and press the OK
button [2] to select.
· Use the Up [4] or Down [5] arrow to choose between the available units
· Confirm your choosen unit by pressing the OK button [2].
MEASURE
The Tempviewer 6400 shows by default the highest [G] and lowest [F] tempera-
ture spot. If prefered, you can deactivate one or both of these spots.
· Navigate to the option “Measure” in the settings menu and press the OK button
[2] to select.
· Navigate in the submenu to the point you like to (de-)activate and confirm with
the OK button [2]. The switch will change from ON to OFF or vice versa.
EMISSIVITY
The amount of infrared energy radiated by an object is proportional to the
temperature of the object and the ability of the material to radiate energy. This
ability refers to “radiation coefficient” or “emissivity”. Emissivity is the ratio of the
average emission power to a black radiator at the same temperature. Emission
is for materials between 0.10 and 1.00. Materials with low emissivity (<0.60) emit
little energy, typically for materials with a shiny, light surface (e.g. metals). Materi-
als with high emissivity (>0.90) emit much energy, typically for matte, dark areas.
The lower the emissivity, the more difficult it is to measure accurately. (Check the
emissivity table).
Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidized sur-
faces have an emissivity of 0,95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result
from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces.
To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape of flat black
paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material un-
derneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.
