Please Read
Test Shots
Before you try to shoot important subjects, we highly recommend that
you shoot several trial images to confirm that the IR camera is
operating and being operated correctly.
Please note that SATIR, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its
distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from
any malfunction of an IR camera or accessory that results in the
failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format that
is machine readable.
Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and
understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure
that the IR camera is operated correctly.
7
Warnings
Read on to learn about using IR camera properly.
Do not disassemble
8
Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe
away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of
the power outlet and the surrounding area
In dust, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the
plug over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and
short-circuit, leading to fire.
Do not cut, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter cord
Any of these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may
lead to fire or electrical shock.
If the lens is loosened and fallen off, the glass shards may cause an
injury.
10
Prevent Malfunction
Read on to learn about preventing malfunction of IR camera.
Warning: Do not aim the IR camera directly into the sun or at other
intense heat source which could damage the detector of the IR
camera.
Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may
cause condensation (water droplets) on its external and internal
surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the IR camera in the plastic case (bundle)
and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the case.

Temperature Measurement
The thermography (temperature measurement) function provides the real-time
temperature of the scene and display it on the left of your screen. The thermography
function is turned on by default.
Set Thermography Parameters
You can set thermography parameters to improve the accuracy of
temperature measurement.
Steps

2. Set the Thermography Range, and Emissivity, etc.
Thermography Range
Select the temperature measurement range. The device can detect
the temperature and switch thermography range automatically in
Auto Switch mode.
Emissivity
Refer to Common Material Emissivity Reference to set the
emissivity of your target.
Reflection Temperature
If any object (not the target) of high temperature is in the scene, and
the target emissivity is low, set the reflection temperature as the high
temperature to correct the thermography effect.
Distance
The distance between the target and the device. You can customize
the target distance or select the target distance as Near, Middle, or
Far.
Environment Temperature
The average temperature of the environment.
Humidity
Set the relative humidity of current environment.
Note
Go to Local Settings → Image Settings → Display Settings to enable/disable the
