The Imager has Power Save and Auto Off features. For more information about how to set these features, see Settings Menu. Note All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time for the most accurate temperature measurements and best image quality. This time can often vary by model and by environmental conditions. Although most imagers are fully warmed up in 3-5 minutes, it is always best to wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate temperature measurement is important to your application. When you move the Imager between environments with large differences in ambient temperature, more adjustment time can be required. The Imager includes a calibration on-demand feature that causes a calibration event to occur when you press  once briefly during operation. This feature provides the best accuracy and avoids disruption of a timing-sensitive image capture by the next automatic calibration. Controls for Image Capture The two-part trigger is located in the standard trigger position for a pistol-grip device. The larger, green trigger is the primary trigger. The smaller, black trigger is the secondary trigger. In normal operation (video is off), the function of the primary trigger is to capture a thermal image for possible storage to memory by the user. When video is on, the primary trigger is the start/stop for video recording. The secondary trigger operates the laser on supported models. Laser Pointer The TiS45, TiS50, TiS55, TiS60, and TiS65 models include a laser pointer. The laser pointer is a sighting aid and is offset from the infrared camera. As a result, it may not always represent the exact center of the infrared or visible image.  The laser dot does not appear on an infrared-only image, but does on visible-only or AutoBlend images. The laser dot cannot be seen in the visible channel of the IR-Fusion image if obscured by the center point marker graphic.  Pull the secondary trigger to turn on laser pointer, release the secondary trigger to turn off the laser pointer.

For information about how to view or erase a stored image, see page 29. Temperature Measurement All objects radiate infrared energy. The quantity of energy radiated is based on the actual surface temperature and the surface emissivity of the object. The Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the object and uses this data to calculate an estimated temperature value. Many common objects and materials such as painted metal, wood, water, skin, and cloth are very good at radiating energy and it is easy to get relatively accurate measurements. For surfaces that are good at radiating energy (high emissivity), the emissivity factor is ≥90 % (or 0.90). This simplification does not work well on shiny surfaces or unpainted metals as they have an emissivity of <0.60. These materials are not good at radiating energy and are classified as low emissivity. To more accurately measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity correction is necessary. Adjustment to the emissivity setting will usually allow the Imager to calculate a more accurate estimate of the actual temperature.  Warning To prevent personal injury, see emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard. More information is available on emissivity at http://www.fluke.com/emissivity and http://www.fluke.com/emissivityexplanation. Fluke recommends the study of this topic to get the most accurate temperature measurements.

TiS10, TiS20, TiS40, TiS45, TiS50, TiS55, TiS60, TiS65 Users Manual 18 Emissivity Adjustment The correct emissivity values are important for the Imager to make the most accurate temperature measurement calculations. Emissivity of a surface can have a large effect on the apparent temperatures that the Imager observes. Understanding the emissivity of the surface being inspected can, but not always, allow you to obtain more accurate temperature measurements. Note Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make reliable and consistent determination of actual temperatures problematic. The lower the emissivity, the more potential error is associated with the Imager's temperature measurement calculations. This is also true even when adjustments to the emissivity and reflected background adjustments are performed properly. Emissivity is set directly as a value, or from a list of emissivity values for some common materials. Note If the Display is set to Display All, you see the information about current emissivity as ε = x.xx. Adjust by Number To set the emissivity value: 1. Go to Measurement > Emissivity > Adjust Number. 2. Push W/X to change the value. A custom emissivity value is indicated when any value not in the standard emissivity table is selected. Select by Table To select from a list of common materials: 1. Go to Measurement > Emissivity > Select Table. 2. Push W/X to highlight the material. 3. Push  to select the material. If you set a value that is <0.60,  shows on the Imager display with this caution: Caution:Emissivity <0.6(see Manual)Push  to clear the message.
 Performance Series Thermal Imagers  Menus 19 Background (Reflected Background Temperature Compensation) Compensation for reflected background temperature is set in the Background tab. Very hot objects or very cold objects can affect the apparent temperature and measurement accuracy of the target or object of interest, especially when surface emissivity is low. Adjustment of the reflected background temperature can make the temperature measurement better in many situations. For more information, see page 18. To adjust the background temperature: 1. Go to Measurement > Background. 2. Push W/X to change the value. 3. Push  or  when done. Note If the Display is set to Display All, you see the information about current reflected background temperature as BG = xx.x. Transmission/Transmittance Adjustment (TiS45, TiS55, TiS65 only) When you do infrared inspections through infrared-transparent windows (IR windows), not all of the infrared energy emitted from the objects of interest is transmitted through the optical material in the window. If the transmission percentage of the window is known, you can adjust this percentage in the Imager or in the SmartView® software. Adjustment of the transmission correction can make the accuracy of the temperature measurement better in many situations.  To adjust the transmission percentage: 1. Go to Measurement > Transmission. 2. Push W/X to adjust the percentage between 1 % and 100 %. If you set a value that is <30 %,  shows on the Imager display with this caution: Caution:Transmission <30 %(see Manual)3. Push  to clear the message. 4. Push  or  when done. Note If Display Information is set to Display All, you see the information about current transmission correction as τ = xx.

Soak the lint-free cloth in the alcohol liquid. 3.  Squeeze the cloth to remove excess liquid or dab on dry cloth. 4.  Wipe the lens surface in one circular motion and discard the cloth. 5.  Use a new cloth with liquid if you need to repeat the procedure.
