Start-up procedure
Before using the device for the first time, charge the battery sufficiently (for at least 4 hours). Insert the
battery correctly into the camera until you hear a clear clicking sound. Then connect the fuse to the
bottom side of the battery. Open the cap in front of the lens and put it on the top side of the camera. Due
to magnetism, the cap will not fall down during the measurement and interfere with it. After this, push the
power button on the right-hand side below the LC display for approx. 4 seconds. When the device is
completely switched on, you can start with your measurement.
5.5
Display
The display then shows the infrared image along with the colour palette on the right-hand side and the
adjustable emission rate in the upper left corner of the display. On the right next to the emission rate, the
temperature of the object pointed at by the hair cross in the middle of the display is indicated. On the
upper right-hand side, time and battery level are displayed.

To save images
By pushing the Trigger button on the front side of the infrared camera, the image shown on the display
can be saved on the SD card if an SD card is inserted. Make sure that the SD card is inserted if you want
to save your images. If this is not the case and the user still pushes the Trigger button, the display will
indicate “! No SD card”. If the images have been successfully saved on the SD card, the device will
indicate “Saving”.

Settings
You can make various settings to the device. To get to the menu, push the select left button directly under
the LCD. After this, the menu will open and you can decide what settings you wish to make by selecting
with the “+” and “-” buttons. By pushing the select button again, you can select the appropriate adjustment
range and use the sub-menus in the same way as the main menu. The following sub-menus are
available:
5.7.1
Main display
In this menu, the display only shows the image, the colour palette, the emissivity, the hair cross and the
battery level. If you want to make a measurement where the hair cross is located, you must pull the
trigger. The temperature measured at that point will also be indicated. This will remain on the LCD until a
new measurement is triggered. If you push the select left button again, the device will show all information
on the display again.
5.7.2
Temperature analysis
For temperature analysis, you can choose between different measurement functions. You can select the
functions “point” (standard), “range max.”, “range min.”, “over” and “below”. If you choose point
measurement, you measure the point shown by the hair cross. When you choose “range max.”, the
display will show a range in the form of a square. Inside the square, the hair cross will now appear and
jump to the warmest spot inside the square. The measurement function “range min.” works the same way
with the only difference that the hair cross will show the coldest spot in the image
. The functions “over”
and “below” are set point measurements. The user can set the measurement value. If you have selected
the “over” function, the range above the chosen temperature is indicated in green. When you have
selected the “below” function, the opposite is the case. If the camera detects objects the temperature of
which is below the set value, these objects are indicated in red.
5.7.3
Emissivity setting
The emissivity is set by the user here. The most common materials are already pre-set. In case you wish
to set another emissivity, you must choose “user setting”. Here you can set an emissivity yourself.
