Operation Rules

 

Ⅰ. Function of keys and operations

1)     Pressing ‘A’ key for two seconds, you can switch among three operating modes: manual, automatic operation 1 and 2. The main function is to adjust the screen effect of the heat map (brightness and color), having no effect on the temperature.

2)     The key ‘C’ is to cancel—cancel key.

3)     S is the freeze key. If you want to store, press the S button again. Namely, ‘S + S’ stands for storage after freeze. If you need a voice recording scene, namely to make the thermal image with a voice recording, press the S key to freeze the heat map, and then vertically press the navigation key to bring up the menu bar to record.

4)     Navigation key functions: toggling left/right means to zoom in and out; up and down toggling means the adjustment of focal length (heat map definition); vertically pressing means to bring out the needed program; vertically pressing again after completing the settings means to determine the modifications of the program.

5)     Functions of four shortcut buttons are as follows: F1, the power saving mode; F2, PIP (infrared and visible light are shown at the same time); F3, laser calling key; F4, a key to auto-focus;

6)     If the temperature of a heat map is distorted, firstly check whether the proper temperature gear was selected. Generally, F1 gear is often selected during electric power measuring temperature,(F3 is selected when it comes to telephoto lens);F1 gear applies to measure temperature between -20~250℃,and F2 gear measures temperature between 100~800℃. With an improper gear, the measured temperature may be inaccurate.

7)     While shooting the heat map, it must be made clearly, so as to ensure an accurate temperature measurement.

 

. Operation Procedures

  1. Press ‘POWER’ to start the machine.
  2. Wait for half a minute after powering on, so the equipment can be stable; then remove the IR lens cap (ensure the correct gear has been chosen); focus on the object to be shot, and adjust the focus length; press S to freeze when it comes to be stable.
  3. Press S again to save it after completing the record. If record is required, press the record key in accordance with the boot prompt of the machine.
  4. After saving the record, press C key to exit.
  5. Power off, and store the equipment into the toolbox.
