BATTERY LIFE AND POWER-SAVING FEATURES
The unit to go into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity (any
button or trigger push to wake up). Also the unit to go into sleep
mode when pressing the on/off button for 2-3 seconds. To go
out of the sleep mode, the on/off button is the only button that
will activate it. This off sleep mode will be activate for 5
minutes. In sleep mode, after 15 minutes of inactivity the unit
will shut completely off.
Using the supplied M12 battery, continuous operating time is at
least 3 hours with the LED fl ashlight off. If you are using the
Thermal Imager intermittently, Sleep Mode extends operating
time to an entire work day or longer.
A Fuel Gauge on the Thermal Imager display shows the
capacity remaining in the battery. When 10% of charge
remains, the Fuel Gauge reads empty and blinks on and off.
This is the time to replace the battery with a charged one, or
charge the battery as soon as you can. When no charge
remains, a Low-Battery Message appears on the display for 3
seconds. Then the Thermal Imager shuts itself off.
The fuel gauge is displayed in the upper right corner of the LCD
while the tool is on.

New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5
chargings and dischargings. Battery packs which have not
been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to
heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
BASIC SETTINGS

DATE FORMAT, SCALE (˚F or ˚C), BRIGHTNESS,
LANGUAGE, and the way to erase images on the installed SD
memory card. To call up the SETTINGS menu, from live mode
press

even after you turn off the power and turn it back on again.
CUSTOM SETTINGS
The custom setting that has the most impact on temperature
reading accuracy is Emissivity. If you select only one custom
setting, this is the one to change. All the custom settings that
affect the accuracy of your data are:
Emissivity (default is 0.95 - rubber, asphalt, concrete, black
electrical tape) – Adjusts the Imager to compensate for different
target surface materials.
Auto or Manual Range (default is Auto) – Gives you control
over the lowest and highest temperature.
Palette (default is IRON) – The Palette is the color scheme for
the display and saved thermal images.

EMISSIVITY
MATERIAL
This setting tells the Thermal Imager what surface material it is
measuring. This is important, because setting the right
emissivity has a signifi cant effect on the accuracy of
temperature readings.
See the following table for a list of the materials in the Thermal
Imager Emissivity menu, and their corresponding emissivity
ratios. You can also select CUSTOM in the emissivity menu,
and select any emissivity value. In the previous fi gure,
CUSTOM shows 0.30, but when you select CUSTOM, you can
choose any value.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions, including those given in the accompanying
brochure. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse
or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System C 12 chargers for charging System C 12
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme
load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery
acid wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye
contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and
immediately seek medical attention.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
insuffi cient experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or
have been instructed by them in the safe use of the tool.
Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do
not play with the tool.
While the equipment is operated in industrial environment,
owing to the electromagnetic disturbance in the environment, it
may appear interference fi ngers or slight fl icker on the screen,
it does not cause loss of product's data storage,control and
processing functions. It belongs to the normal performance of
the equipment.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The Thermal Imager can be used for taking thermal images
and visual images. The recordings can be saved as images on
the memory card.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
DESCRIPTION
Thermal Imager M12 TI is an ultra-rugged, hand-held
battery-powered tool that takes thermal pictures, called
“thermal images.” Thermal images reveal different
temperatures as different colors. A bright color display shows
an image of hot and cold spots and temperature gradients
in-between. The temperature of the object in the center target
is shown at the top of the thermal image. Information about the
temperature range and color palette settings for the image are
on the bottom of the image.
You can optionally load the thermal images onto a computer to
prepare a report later. The Thermal Imager and its supplied PC
software satisfy the requirements of industrial electricians and
technicians new to thermal imaging, as well as expert
professional thermographers.
MILWAUKEE Thermal Imager Report Software is included on
the CD (Compact Disk). Instructions for using the software are
in the MILWAUKEE Thermal Imager Report Software Manual,
which is on the supplied CD.
With the software, you can organize, choose, annotate and
adjust images and present results in a report. In your report,
you can write recommendations and add your company logo.
