How to use

Power on the camera and allow the thermal sensor to stabilize before scanning the target area. Point the lens toward the inspection zone and use the display to view temperature contrasts; select the appropriate viewing mode to enhance details. Maintain a suitable distance from hot surfaces to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, and move the device slowly to ensure stable image capture. For vehicle-mounted or mobile applications, secure the unit according to mounting instructions and verify the image orientation before beginning data capture.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, perform a short warm-up period after powering on and calibrate the device if a drift in readings is suspected. Use the appropriate viewing mode and color palette for the inspected surface to highlight relevant temperature differences. Store the camera in a protective case when not in use and avoid exposing it to prolonged direct sunlight or corrosive substances.
