Imaging 

Problem 

Cause 

Solution 

Sect. 

The image is not appearing on 

the screen or appears blurred 

The lens window is dirty 

Clean the lens window 

2.2 

An obstacle is obstructing the 

thermal imager lens window 

Remove the obstacle 

2.2 

The thermal imager will not 

focus 

The thermal imager lens window 

is dirty 

Clean the lens 

2.2 

An obstacle is obstructing the 

thermal imager lens. 

Remove the obstacle 

2.2 

The thermal imager produces a 

clicking sound every 15 to 30 

seconds 

The thermal imager is refreshing 

the image. This is normal. 

No fault 

The image frequently pauses for 

a fraction of a second  

The thermal imager is changing 

mode upon experiencing 

significant changes in scene 

temperature. This is normal. 

No fault 

Cannot see the heat source 

through the window, in the 

water or through rubble 

Thermal imagers cannot produce 

images through infrared-opaque 

materials such as glass or water 

No fault 

4.3

 

Functions 

Problem 

Cause 

Solution 

Sect. 

The digital temperature 

measurement does not seem to 

represent the room temperature 

The DTM only measures the 

temperature of an object within 

the scene at the centre of the 

cross wire, and not the air 

temperature 

No fault 

The thermal imager is 

functioning but the buttons do 

not function correctly or respond 

very slowly 

Most functions require pressing 

and holding down the buttons to 

prevent accidental activation 

Perform the correct switching 

operations 

3.0 

Cannot capture an image 

The internal memory is full
