Taking a Basic Thermal Picture

Proceed as follows to capture and save a basic image set:

NOTE

An SD card must be installed for the Thermal

Imager to save images and data. If no SD card is

installed, you will see the error message on the

display: “NO SD CARD.”

1. Press and hold (center button on the directional

keypad) for 2 to 3 seconds until you see activity on the

display.

2. The Thermal Imager displays progress messages

about Sensor Calibration during warm-up. From Sleep

Mode, warm-up is almost instantaneous. Until warm-up

is complete, button presses are ignored.

3. If the time and date are not already set, the Settings

Menu appears so you can set these.

Figure 7 shows TIME selected for setting. To set the

time, press the button to open the time setting

menu. Use the arrow keys to set the current time, then

press the button to return to SETTINGS. Press

twice to select DATE, then set the date the same way

you set the time. Once any settings are changed, the

new settings stay in memory when the power is turned

off.

4. Open the lens cap by pinching the buttons on the sides

of the lens cap. Flip it open until it snaps in place on top

of the Thermal Imager.

5. Observe the live thermal image on the display as

shown in Figure 8. Rotate the focus ring on the thermal

sensor lens for maximum sharpness. Make small focus

adjustments and wait for the image to settle before

making another adjustment. Focusing has a different

feel than it does with visual image cameras.
