Operation
4.1
Switching the unit on and off
Press and hold the ENTER key for more than 3 seconds to switch the thermal imaging camera
on or off. After switching on, the lens cover must be opened. The display then shows the thermal
image of the targeted area.
If you move the camera between environments with very different temperatures, it may take a
while for the thermal image to update on the display.
Note
Charge the battery for at least 1.5 hours before using the thermal imaging camera for the first
time.
The meter may start with an English menu the first time. To switch the language, see chapter
4.7.3

Functions in measuring mode
4.2.1
Hiding and showing MAX and MIN temperature and time
The MAX and MIN temperature values and the time at the bottom of the display can be hidden
and shown by pressing the UP navigation key.
4.2.2
Picture in picture function, picture overlapping
The images of the infrared camera and the general camera can be overlapped step by step. This
often makes it easier to correctly assign the measured values of the infrared image.
Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT navigation key increases or decreases the percentage of the general
image (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
4.2.3
Saving images
Press the trigger on the handgrip to save the currently displayed image.
A dialogue box appears: Save image? Yes / No.
Press the MENU key for Yes or SELECT for No.
Note
If the camera is connected to a PC via USB cable, no new images can be saved. When the
connection is active, the USB icon is displayed at the top of the display. After pressing the
trigger, the message "Disc Occupy" appears at the bottom left.
4.2.4
Viewing / transferring images to a computer
You can view the saved images on your computer and transfer them to the computer.
Open the protective cover of the camera and connect the USB cable to the interfaces on the
camera and computer.
The camera is recognised as a USB memory by the supported operating systems Windows XP,
7, 8, 10 and MacOS. The images stored in JPG format can be viewed, copied or deleted as with
a USB stick.
Before disconnecting the USB cable, the "Safely remove hardware" function should be used so
that no image data is lost.
