Ti100, Ti110, Ti125, TiR110, TiR125 Users Manual 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.
Thermal Imagers Menus Menus The menus, together with the three function buttons (, , ) and arrow buttons, are access for thermal image display, camera features, memory setup, and settings for date, time, language, units, file format, and Imager information. Measurement Menu The Measurement Menu has settings for the calculation and display of radiometric temperature measurement data related to the thermal images.

Thermal Imagers Maintenance Maintenance The Imager does not require maintenance. W* Warning To prevent eye damage and personal injury, do not open the Product. The laser beam is dangerous to eyes. Have the Product repaired only through an approved technical site. How to Clean the Case Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap solution. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the case or lens/window.
Ti100, Ti110, Ti125, TiR110, TiR125 Users Manual To get the best performance from the lithium-ion battery, use the guidelines that follow: • Do not store the Imager on the charger for more than 24 hours as reduced battery life may result. • Charge the Imager for a two-hour minimum at six-month intervals for maximum battery life. Without use, the battery will self-discharge in approximately six months. Batteries stored for long periods will need two to ten charging cycles for full capacity.
