Main Menu

Open the left side bar see Navigating in the Various Menus. Press the centre of the multi-function button (17) to access the main menu.

  • <Gallery> Under this menu item you can delete the saved images individually or you can delete all images at once.
  • <Measurement parameters>
    • <Emissivity> (a)
      A selection of saved emissivities is available for some of the most common materials. To make the search easier, the values are combined into groups in the emissivity catalogue. First select the relevant category and then choose the relevant material in the <Material catalogue> menu item. If you know the exact emissivity of the object you want to measure, you can also set it as a numerical value in the <User defined> menu item.
    • <Reflected temperature> (b):
      Setting this parameter can improve the accuracy of the measuring result, especially with low-emissivity (= high-reflection) materials. In some situations (especially in indoor areas), the reflected temperature corresponds to the ambient temperature. If there are objects with greatly deviating temperatures close to highly reflective objects, this value should be adjusted as the measurement may be affected. Press the left or right of the multi-function button (17) to do so.
  • <Temperature range>
    To ensure high accuracy across the entire measuring range, measurements are carried out in two temperature ranges. With the <Auto> measuring function, the measuring tool automatically selects the appropriate temperature range according to the temperature distribution in the thermal image. When doing so, it assesses how many measured values fall above a certain temperature thresh­old. If very small but hot objects are being measured, it may select the low temperature range that is not suitable for high temperatures. This can be determined from the preceding symbol ~ on the temperature display. In such cases, switch to the ‎<‎100 °C ... 450 °C‎>‎ or ‎<‎–20 °C ... 100 °C‎>‎ measuring function, in which the colour distribution corresponds to the set temperature range. The setting is marked on the scale with an arrow pointing up or down.
  • <Display settings>
    • <Center spot> (n): <ON>/<OFF>
      The point is displayed in the centre of the thermal image and shows you the measured temperature value at this point.
    • <Hot spot> (o):<ON>/<OFF>
      The hottest point (= measuring pixel) is indicated by red crosshairs in the thermal image. This facilitates the search for critical areas (e.g. a loose contact terminal in the control cabinet).
    • <Cold spot> (m):<ON>/<OFF>
      The coldest point (= measuring pixel) is indicated by blue crosshairs in the thermal image. This facilitates the search for critical areas (e.g. a leak in a window).
    • <Temperature scale> (i): <ON>/<OFF>
    • <Average temperature> (c) : <ON> / <OFF>
      The average temperature (c) is displayed at the top left of the thermal image (average temperature of all measured values in the thermal image). This can help you to determine the reflected temperature.
  • <Tool settings>
    • <Display brightness>
      Under this menu item, you can change the brightness of the display lighting.
    • <LED switch off after …>
      Under this menu item, you can select the time interval after which the worklight will automatically switch off if no buttons are pressed.
    • <Tool switch off after …>
      Under this menu item, you can select the time interval after which the measuring tool will automatically switch off if no buttons are pressed. You can also deactivate automatic switch-off by selecting the <Never> setting.
    • <Date & time>
      This submenu not only allows you to set the time and date but also to change their respective formats.
    • <Language>
      Under this menu item, you can select the language used in the display.
    • <Factory settings>
      Under this menu item, you can reset the measuring tool to factory settings and permanently delete all data. This may take several minutes. Then press either right of the multi-function button (17) to delete all files or the left of the multi-function button (17) to cancel the process.
  • <Info>
    Under this menu item, you can access information about the measuring tool. There you will find the serial number of the measuring tool and the installed software version. This is also where you can find more detailed information about the measuring tool and about the software update.

You can also press the measuring button (6) to exit any menu and return to the home screen.
