Follow a few simple steps that will help you troubleshoot issues
in facilities applications:
• Wear proper PPE for your environment, according to your local,
national, and company protocols. Always remain the proper
distance away from potentially hazardous equipment.
• Have direct access to the target you are scanning. Disassem-
bly may be required around your target.
• When you’ve found a potential issue using the blended
heat map, move closer to take a center-point temperature
measurement.
• Understand how surface material characteristics such as
emissivity can influence your readings. For more information
