1 Safety
Before you proceed to operate the camera, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the present
manual and observe the safety regulations and specifications defined by the manufactur-
er.
Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may result in a
damage to the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.
The camera must not be used in rooms where special conditions are present e.g. fire
and explosion risk.
It is forbidden to use damaged or malfunctioning camera and is partially or fully out of
order.
In case the camera is not used for a long time, its batteries should be removed.
It is not allowed to use the camera with half-closed or opened battery cover and do not
use any other power adapter than the one supplied with the camera.
Repairs may be carried out only by an authorised service point.
KT series Thermal Imagers are designed to measure and record the images in the infra-
red. The camera is constructed in a manner which gives you maximum performance and
safe-ty at work, however the following precautions must be adhered to at all times (in ad-
dition to any advised precautions applicable at the relevant work-site or work area):
Keep the camera steady during operation.
Do not use the camera in ambient temperatures exceeding its operation and storage
temperature ranges.
Do not direct the camera toward very high intensity radiation sources such as
the sun, lasers or welding arcs etc.
Do not expose the camera to dust and moisture. When operating the device near wa-
ter, ensure that it is adequately guarded against splashes.
When the camera is not in use or is to be transported, ensure that the unit and its ac-
cessories are stored in the protective carry case.
Do not obstruct the speake
r holes in the camera’s body.
Do not re-switch on the imager before 30 seconds after switching it off and do not re-
move the battery when the imager is on.
Do not throw, knock or shake intensely the camera and its components in order to
avoid the damage.
Do not attempt to open the imager's body, as this action will void the warranty.
Keep the SD memory card for the exclusive use of the camera.
During operation, if the camera is to be moved from hot/cold place to cold/hot place,
e.g. from inside/outside to outside/inside of a room, switch the imager off and leave it
in the new workplace for 20 minutes, then turn it on and start normal operation with an
accurate temperature measurement. Sudden and rapid changes in ambient tempera-
ture may cause fault temperatu
re measurement and even damage camera’s IR detec-
tor.
