Introduction The Fluke Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR, and TiR1 Thermal Imagers (hereafter “the Imager”) are handheld imaging cameras used for predictive maintenance, equipment troubleshooting, and verification. All these Imagers produce thermal and visual images on a 640 X 480 display. Thermal and visual images are displayed on the Imager LCD and can be saved to an SD Memory card.

Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Charging the Battery Before using the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for at least two hours. The Imager’s battery condition is displayed in the upper-left corner of the display. When the last segment of the battery icon extinguishes, the Imager will shut down and will require recharging before operating again.

Thermal Imagers Focusing and Capturing an Image Setting the Date To set the date: 1. Press a until Date appears over the F1 softkey. 2. Press the softkey labeled Date. The date can be displayed in one of two formats: MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY. 3. Press the softkey labeled with the desired date format. 4. Press the softkey labeled Up (c) or Down (d) to adjust the selected date element. 5. Press the softkey labeled Next to move to the next date element. 6. Press the softkey labeled Done when finished.
Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Note Minimum focus distance for thermal (IR) camera is 15 cm (approx. 6 inches). Minimum focus distance for visible (visual) light camera is 46 cm (approx. 18 inches). IR-Fusion® and visible light images are unavailable on the Ti9 or TiRx Thermal Imagers. Note The Imager can save the image as a simple picture or as a radiometric image that allows further temperature analysis.
Thermal Imagers Adjusting the Thermal Image Adjusting the Thermal Image The Imager uses different colors or shades of gray to display the temperature gradient of the area within the Imager’s field of view. There are two adjustments for changing how the Imager displays the image: Palette and Range. Selecting a Palette The palette menu provides different thermal viewing patterns. Grayscale, BlueRed, High Contrast, and Ironbow are available in all four Imagers.
Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Note The Imager always powers up in the same Range mode, Auto or Manual, as when it powers down. Total Imager Range Level Span exj02.eps Figure 1. Range and Span Settings Setting the Level (Manual) When put into manual ranging, the level setting adjusts the thermal span within the total temperature range of the Imager. See Figure 1. To set the level: 1.
Thermal Imagers Switching Between PIP and Full IR (Ti10 and TiR Only) Setting the Temperature Span (Manual) When put into manual ranging, the span setting adjusts the palette over a temperature range within the total range of the Imager. See Figure 1. To adjust the temperature span: 1. After entering the manual range mode (See the “Setting the Range” section above), press the softkey labeled Span. 2. Press the softkey labeled Increase to widen the temperature span or Decrease to narrow it. 3.
Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Reviewing and Deleting Stored Images To view stored images on the SD card: 1. Press a until Memory appears over c. 2. Press the softkey labeled Memory to reveal the review menu. 3. Press the softkey labeled Review. 4. Press the softkey labeled Up to display the previous image or Down to display the next stored image. To delete a single Image from the SD card: 1.
Thermal Imagers Listening to Voice Annotations (Ti25 and TiR1 Only) Append or Replace to modify the recording before storing the image. Once stored, the audio annotation can only be reviewed and not modified. 5. Press the softkey labeled Back to return to the Audio menu. 6. Press the softkey labeled Store to store the measured data and audio annotation. Listening to Voice Annotations (Ti25 and TiR1 Only) To play the voice annotation already stored with an image on the SD card: 1.
Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual 4. Press the softkey labeled Back/Done to accept the setting. Making Accurate Temperature Measurements All objects radiate infrared energy. The amount of energy radiated is based on two primary factors: the surface temperature of the object and the emissivity of the object's surface. The Imager detects the infrared energy from an object and uses this information to estimate the temperature of the object.
Thermal Imagers Setting Reflected Background Temperature 1. Press the softkey labeled Table. 2. Press the softkey labeled Up or Down to move between the materials in the list. The emissivity value for each material is shown on the screen as the selection moves between the different materials 3. Press the softkey labeled Done to select the highlighted material. To set the emissivity value directly: 1. Press the softkey labeled ε. 2.
Ti9, Ti10, Ti25, TiRx, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual 3. Press c to set the bitmap (.bmp) file format, or d to set the infrared storage (.is2) file format. The bitmap format only saves the image shown on the Imager’s display. The “.is2” format is a proprietary file format that saves the radiometric data, fusion blend, palette, visual image, screen settings, and voice recording to annotate the stored image. Bitmap (.
Thermal Imagers Maintenance 3. Press the softkey labeled Auto or Full-Bright. Note To extend battery life, Auto-Sensing automatically adjusts backlight brightness based on ambient light levels. Maintenance The Imager supplies maintenance-free operation. However, some precautions should be followed to get the best and longest Imager performance. Cleaning the Imager Wipe the case with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the case or lens/window.
