Function; Carrying Out Ir Measurement; Saving The Screen Content - BASETech 1911203 Notice D'emploi

Shiny surfaces affect the IR measurement results. To compensate, the shiny part of
the surface can be covered with adhesive tape or matt black paint. In this case, the
emission level must always be adjusted to the surface to be measured. The device
cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass. Instead, it measures the
surface temperature of the glass.
a) Function
Infrared thermal imaging cameras measure the surface temperature of an object and indicate
these temperature distributions with false colour photography.
The IR detector records the heat radiation emitted, reflected and transmitted through the object
and converts this information into a temperature value. The measuring instrument has a built-
in detector with a resolution of 32 x 32 pixels. This means that the detector records 32 x 32
temperature points in one measurement.
The emission level is a value used to describe the energy radiation characteristics of a material.
The higher this value, the more radiation a material can emit.
Many organic materials and surfaces have an emission level of approx. 0.95. Metallic surfaces
or shiny materials have a lower emission level. This will cause an inaccurate reading. For this
reason, a matt black layer of paint or matt adhesive tape should be applied to metallic shiny
surfaces or the emission level should be preset accordingly.
b) Carrying out IR measurement
• Turn on the camera, press and hold down the Power button for approx. two to three seconds.
• The thermal image is displayed with false colours. The measurement is carried out
continuously with an update rate of 9 Hz.
• The colour palettes, the temperature unit and the emission level can be set in the settings
menu as desired. Pre-set values are colour palette 1, degrees Celsius and emission level
0.95.
• The display (5) shows the measured value for the centre of the image.
• Turn off the measuring instrument once the measurement is completed.
c) Saving the screen content
• IR thermal images or screenshots of measured values can be stored on the removable
microSD memory card. The images are saved in bitmap format (.bmp) and can be reused
by all graphic and table editing programs. This allows for logging of measurement series.
• Switch the measuring instrument on.
