Thermal Imagers Primary and Secondary Triggers Primary and Secondary Triggers The two-part trigger is located in the standard trigger position for a pistol-grip device. The larger, green trigger is the primary trigger. The smaller, black trigger is the secondary trigger. In normal operation, the function of the primary trigger is to capture a thermal image for possible storage to memory by the user. The secondary trigger operates the LaserSharp™ Auto Focus System and laser pointer.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Note The user is able to use the advanced manual focus as a manual override of the LaserSharp™ Auto Focus System. Control Buttons Three function buttons ( ) and four arrow buttons ( and ) are the primary controls. These buttons move the cursor through the menu structure to set the features. Table 4 is an overview of the buttons and their actions. In live Manual Mode, the arrow buttons are always active to adjust Level and Span.
Thermal Imagers How to Use the Menus How to Use the Menus The menus, coupled with the three function buttons (, , ) and arrow buttons, are the access for thermal image display, camera features, measurement, advanced functions, memory review, and settings for date, time, language, units, file format, and Imager information. To open the primary menu, push . The primary menu shows five secondary menus for Measurement, Image, Camera, Memory, and Settings.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual IR-PhotoNotes™ The IR-PhotoNotes™ photo annotation system allows the user to capture and add up to five visible (digital) images of various objects, text, or other information that is related to the analysis and reporting of an infrared image. Examples of possible annotations include motor name plates, printed information or warning signs, larger views of the environment or room, and related equipment or objects.
Thermal Imagers Image Capture i Voice Annotation (Recording) To add a voice (audio) recording: 1. With an infrared image in the buffer, push to open the EDIT IMAGE menu. 2. Push / to highlight Add Audio. 3. Push to record up to 60 seconds of audio. The display updates to show the recorded time. 4. Push to pause the recorder. 5. Push when done. 6. Push to review the audio file or to save the audio with the image. Voice annotation is only available in the .
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Edit Captured Infrared Image Before saving a file, you can edit or modify the image. To edit: 1. With an image in the buffer, go to EDIT IMAGE > Edit Image. 2. Push / to highlight an option. 3. Push to save the changes with the file. Save Captured Infrared Image To save an image as a data file: 1. Focus on the object of interest or inspection area. 2. Pull the trigger to capture the image. The image is now in the buffer and you can save or edit. 3.
Thermal Imagers Micro SD Memory Card Micro SD Memory Card To eject a Micro SD memory card, push in on the exposed edge of the card and then release. The card should pop partially out after you release it. Carefully pull the card out of the slot. To use the Micro SD memory card, make sure that the write-protect lock is open. See Figure 3. Push the card in until it catches. The Micro SD memory card comes with an SD adapter for insertion into a PC or multi-function card reader if desired. hie03.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Temperature Measurement All objects radiate infrared energy. The quantity of energy radiated is based on the actual surface temperature and the surface emissivity of the object. The Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the object and uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Thermal Imagers Menus Menus The menus, together with the three function buttons (, , ) and arrow buttons, are access for thermal image display, camera features, memory setup, and settings for date, time, language, units, file format, and Imager information. Measurement Menu The Measurement Menu has settings for the calculation and display of radiometric temperature measurement data related to the thermal images.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Fast Auto/Manual Range Toggle When NOT in a menu mode, push and release to toggle between Auto Range and Manual Range. The icon in the upper right-hand corner of the LCD screen will indicate the change by saying Auto or Manual. Fast Auto Rescale (in Manual Mode) When in Manual Range and NOT in a menu mode, push and release to automatically rescale the level and span range for objects in the thermal field of view.
Thermal Imagers Menus Total Imager Range Level Span hie07.eps Figure 4. Level and Span Settings Temperature Span for Manual Operation Mode When in manual mode, the span setting contracts or expands in a selected palette in a temperature range within the total range. See Figure 4. In the live manual mode, the arrow buttons are always available to adjust the level and span. To adjust the temperature span: 1. Push to increase or widen the temperature span. 2.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual If you set a value that is <0.60, shows on the Imager display with this caution: Caution: Emissivity <0.6 (see Manual) Note Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make reliable and consistent determination of actual temperatures problematic. The lower the emissivity, the more potential error is associated with the Imager's temperature measurement calculations.
Thermal Imagers Menus Background (Reflected Background Temperature Compensation) Compensation for reflected background temperature is set in the Background tab. Very hot objects or very cold objects can affect the apparent temperature and measurement accuracy of the target or object of interest, especially when surface emissivity is low. Adjustment of the reflected background temperature can make the temperature measurement better in many situations. For more information, see Emissivity Adjustment.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Spot Temperatures The Spot Temperatures are floating HI and LO temperature indicators that move on the display as the temperature measurements of the image fluctuate. To turn on/off the hot and cold spot indicators: 1. Go to Measurement > Spot Temp. 2. Push / to highlight ON or OFF. 3. Push or to set the new value. Note If the Display is set to Display All, you see the information about current transmission correction as τ = xxx%.
Thermal Imagers Menus Center Box The Center Box feature is an adjustable temperature measurement zone (box) that you can center on the infrared image. This zone (box) expands and contracts to different levels within the infrared image. The zone lets the user see an approximate maximum (MAX), average (AVG), and minimum (MIN) temperature measurement in that area.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Image Menu The Image menu has controls for different features used in the presentation of the infrared image on the Imager's LCD and some saved image files. Note Data saved as .is2 or .is3 formats can easily be modified within SmartView software. Still images saved in .bmp or .jpg format, as well as video saved in .avi format will retain image settings at the time of capture and save.

To change the palette color: 1. Go to Image > Palette > Set Palette. 2. Push / to highlight the palette color. 3. Push to set the new palette color. Saturation Colors is an option that you can choose as off, standard, red/blue, or white/black.
Ti200, Ti300, Ti400 Users Manual Color Alarms The Imager has various apparent temperature color alarms. The hightemperature color alarm shows a full visible image and only shows infrared information on objects or areas that are above the set apparent temperature alarm level. The low-temperature (or dew point) color alarm shows a full visible image and only shows infrared information on objects or areas that are below the set apparent temperature (or set dew point) color alarm level.
Thermal Imagers Menus Outside/Inside Alarm If you set values for the high-temperature color alarm and a low-temperature color alarm, the Imager will have the options for inside or outside isotherm color alarms.
