5.3 การวัด:

The measured temperature of the center of the pixel is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen. The setting of the radiation coefficient is also displayed in the upper right corner of the display screen. Move the product until the hot spot or cold spot coincides with the center of the pixel. Direct the product to the object whose temperature is higher or lower than the surrounding temperature to get the optimum measured results.

5.4 Focal Distance:

This product is a fixed-focal thermal imaging camera. The applicable distance is 50cm (20in).

5.5 Elimination of Noise:

Start up the instrument and then put the head of the sensor close to the worktop. Press the "up" key for 5 seconds to eliminate noise.

5.6 LED Light:

Press the "image capturing" key (9) for 5 seconds to turn on the LED light to cooperate with the working of the visible camera.

Figure 4: Advanced Operating Functions.

5.7 จานสี:

The "Color palette" menu allows changing the fake color of the infrared image displayed on the screen or captured. A series of color palettes is available for usage. Some color palettes are more applicable to specific areas, so they are set as required options. Gray-scale color palette provides balanced linear color, so it can help to fully reveal details. High-contrast color palette can emphasize the displayed color. This color palette is applicable to the hot-cold contrast situation. It is used to improve the color contrast of high-temperature and low-temperature. Iron red and rainbow color palettes provide a mixed high-contrast gray-scale color palette.

5.8 Temperature of Reflective Background:

The background temperature can be set between 0°C and +36°C. Set the temperature compensation for reflective background in the option of background. Over-hot or over-cold objects may influence the object and the surface temperature and measurement accuracy of the measured object. When the radiation coefficient of the surface of the measured object is low, this phenomenon is obvious. Under many situations, adjust the temperature of the reflective background to get the optimum measured result.

5.9 Marking of Spot Temperature:

Turn on or off the marking of spot temperature. If turned on, the marking of spot temperature indicates that the hot spot or cold spot in the screen needs additional appraisal. If turned off, it indicates that the user can focus on the measured pixel per time.

5.10 Unit of Temperature:

The product displays the temperature in unit of °C or °F.

5.11 Image Mixing:

Use the aligned visible image and infrared image. The mixed image makes the understanding of the infrared image easier. The product can capture the visible image of the infrared image to accurately display the temperature distribution of the target area. It helps to share with others. If this mixing function is used, press "left" or "right" key to adjust the mixed image from 0% to 100%.

5.12 Image Capture and Storage:

This product can be stored for up to 25,000 images on the micro SD card. Press the image capturing button (9) and the symbol of "store photos yes no" will display. Press "MENU" key to store the image; press "SELECT" to delete the captured image. If "NO SD" is displayed at the lower left corner of the screen, it indicates the SD card is not installed. If "FULL" is displayed at the lower left corner of the screen, it indicates that the SD card is full.

5.13 Checking Internal Storage:

1. Press "menu" to enter into the mode of "menu".
2. Select the image storage module using the arrow keys.
3. Press the "SELECT" button to choose the picture you want to view.
4. กดปุ่มลูกศรเพื่อ view รูปภาพอื่น ๆ
5. Press the above key on the screen will display "Delete photo yes no", then press the MENU key to delete the picture. Press "SELECT" to cancel.
6. Press the "MENU" button to exit Review.

5.14 Notes on Radiation Coefficient:

All objects have radiated infrared energy. The radiated quantity of infrared energy is based on the actual temperature and radiation coefficient of the surface. Our instrument can sense the infrared energy on the surface of the object and estimate the temperature based on the sensed value of infrared energy. Many objects (e.g., coated metal, wood, water, skin, and texture) can radiate energy, so it is easy to get the accurate measured value. As to the surface which is easy to radiate energy (high radiation coefficient), the radiation coefficient is greater than 90% (0.90). This simple method is not applicable to the glossy surface or coated metal because their radiation coefficient is less than 60% (0.60). These materials are not easy to radiate energy so they are classified as low radiation coefficient materials. To accurately measure the low radiation coefficient materials, calibrate the radiation coefficient. Adjustment of radiation coefficient is to make the product more accurately calculate the estimated value of actual temperature.

5.15 Emissivity:

For the emissivity within the step length of 0.01, it can be adjusted from 0.10 to 1.00. Set the default value to 0.95. The accurate value of emissivity is very important to the accurate measurement of temperature. The surface emissivity has great impact on the measured temperature of our product. To know the emissivity of the measured surface helps to get more accurate results of temperature but this is not always true.

6. การบำรุงรักษา

To maintain your PerfectPrime IR0002 in optimal condition:

• Use a wet cloth or liquid soap to clean the shell of the device.
• Do not use abrasive compounds or isopropyl alcohol to clean the shell or lens.
• เก็บอุปกรณ์ไว้ในที่แห้งและเย็นเมื่อไม่ใช้งาน
• ถอดแบตเตอรี่ออกหากจะไม่ได้ใช้งานอุปกรณ์เป็นเวลานานเพื่อป้องกันการรั่วไหล

7 การแก้ไขปัญหา

If you encounter issues with your PerfectPrime IR0002, consider the following common solutions:

• อุปกรณ์ไม่เปิด: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and fully charged. Replace with new alkaline batteries if necessary.
• การอ่านอุณหภูมิที่ไม่แม่นยำ: Check the emissivity setting for the material being measured. Ensure the background temperature compensation is correctly set. Avoid measuring highly reflective surfaces without proper emissivity adjustment.
• Image quality issues: Ensure the lens is clean and free from dust or smudges. Check the image mixing percentage if the visible and IR images appear distorted.
• ไม่สามารถบันทึกภาพได้: Verify that a Micro SD card is inserted and that it is not full. If "NO SD" or "FULL" is displayed, address the SD card status.
• อุปกรณ์ไม่ตอบสนอง: Try removing and reinserting the batteries to perform a hard reset.
