Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Daily before use, inspect your Thermal
Imager and correct any problems to re-
duce the risk of serious injury from elec-
tric shock and other causes, and prevent
equipment damage.
1. Make sure the unit is OFF.
2. Remove the battery and inspect for signs of
damage. Replace if necessary. Do not use
if the battery is damaged.
3. Clean the equipment. See Maintenance In-
structions. This aids inspection and helps
prevent the tool from slipping from your grip.
4. Inspect the locator for the following:
• Proper assembly, maintenance and com -
pleteness.
• Any broken, worn or missing parts.
• Inspect the camera lens for condensation.
To avoid damaging the unit, do not use the
camera if condensation forms inside the
lens. Let the water evaporate before using.
• Presence and readability of the product
and battery labels (Figure 1).
• Any other condition which may prevent
safe and normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the
thermal imager until the problems have
been repaired.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equipment
being used per its instructions to make sure
it is functioning properly.

Initial Start-Up
Turning ON And OFF
1. Turning ON: Remove the protective cap from
the unit lens. Press the Power Escape Key
( ). The thermal imager turns ON and the
start screen appears on the display. The ther-
mal imager starts a warm up period that lasts
10 minutes. During the warm up and equal-
ization period, the accuracy tolerance of the
thermal imager is greater than specification.
During the warm up period and approxi-
mately every 60 seconds during use, the
thermal imager automatically re-calibrates to
guarantee measuring accuracy. This is indi-
cated by an audible "click" and the screen
image briefly freezing.
When the thermal imager is on, an image is
displayed on the screen. When turning unit
on for the first time, go to the "Configuration
Settings" to set language, time/date and tem-
perature units, if needed
