Temperature Screening Location
Preferred environmental conditions for the ThermaCheck M1 operation are 60 - 90˚F (16 - 32˚C) and less than 85%
relative humidity. The best screening location will have a mostly dark indigo color in the background of the
thermal image. If the background has a strong heat signature source, consider facing the ThermaCheck M1 camera
in another direction. Figure 11 illustrates some adverse environmental conditions that should be avoided in the
screening area.
Figure 11: Adverse environmental conditions for the ThermaCheck M1 camera
Notes:
1)
Temperature measurements of subjects entering the screening area from the outside could be affected if
there is a significant temperature difference between these two environments.
2)
When the environmental temperature in which the ThermaCheck M1 camera is operating changes by
more than ±10 ˚F (±6 ˚C), the camera should be recalibrated for the new conditions. If the user needs to
operate the ThermaCheck M1 camera without a stable environmental temperature, it is recommended to
use a blackbody in the scene of the camera to provide dynamic calibration.
Avoid locations near vents,
exterior doors, and
strong backlighting
For the best environmental stability
pick a climate-controlled space
