KT-640 Thermal Imager is designed to measure and record the images in the infrared.
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 addition
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
water, 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 accessories are stored in the protective carry case.

Do not jam the loudspeaker holes on the camera body.

Do not re-switch on the imager before 30 seconds after switching it off and do
not remove the battery while operating the instrument.

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 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 temperature may cause fault temperature measurement and even damage
camera’s IR detector.
