Page 11: 5 Operation
5 Operation 5.1 Power the meter Pull and hold the trigger for one second to switch the meter ON and begin scanning surface temperatures. The TG Series is powered by three (3) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries. Batteries are located in the meter (twist off the handle cap to release the battery holder). Refer to Section 7, Maintenance, for more detail. The Battery status icon is shown on the upper right side of the display. The status icon shows full white when 100% powered and darkens as battery power weakens. The battery status icon appears empty (fully dark) when the batteries require changing. Note that temperature readings displayed while the battery symbol is empty will be accurate. Accuracy is assured up until the meter switches OFF. The TG Series has a programmable APO (Auto Power OFF) feature where it automatically shuts off after the trigger is released (after 5, 10, or 20 seconds). Please refer to Section 6, Programming Menu, for instructions on setting the APO time. 5.2 Taking Measurements Begin by pulling and holding the trigger for one second. While holding the trigger, scan the surface(s) under test. Use the Laser pointer as a guide. Notice that while the trigger is pulled the display shows the scanning icon and laser pointer icon . View the temperature reading and other information on the display while scanning. If the measurement exceeds the published range, the display will indicate ‘OL’. Read Section 4.4, Main Display Descriptions, and Section 4.5, Display Icon Descriptions, for reference. To set the temperature units ( F) please refer to Section 6, Programming Menu. When the trigger is released, the scanning and laser icons are replaced by the (HOLD) icon and the displayed temperature reading is held for a programmable period of time (5, 11 FLIR TG54_TG56 User Manual Document Identifier: TG54_TG56‐en‐US_AA ... -

10, or 20 seconds), after which the meter switches off automatically. To set the Auto Power OFF period please refer to Section 6, Programming Menu. The laser pointer targets the measurement ‘spot’. The Laser pointer can be deactivated in the Programming menu. At this point it is important to read Section 9.2, Infrared Energy and IR Thermometer Theory, and Section 5.3, Distance‐To‐Spot Ratio. 5.3 Distance‐To‐Spot Ratio The TG54 Distance‐to‐Spot ratio (D:S) is 24:1 From a distance of 24” the TG54 measures the average temperature of a spot 1” in diameter. From a distance of 48” the spot diameter is 2” and from a distance of 72” the spot diameter is 3”. The temperature is shown at the center of the display. Refer to Figs. 5‐1 (a) below for illustrative examples of Distance to Spot ratio. The TG56 Distance‐to‐Spot ratio (D:S) is 30:1 From a distance of 30” the TG56 measures the average temperature of a spot 1” in diameter. From a distance of 60” the spot diameter is 2” and from a distance of 90” the spot diameter is 3”. The temperature is shown at the center of the display. Refer to Figs. 5‐1 (b) below for illustrative examples of Distance to Spot ratio.

Fig 5‐1 (b) TG56 Distance to Spot ratio 30:1 5.4 Using the High and Low Alarm The High and Low Alarm features allows the user to set High only, Low only, or combination High and Low Alarm thresholds that, when exceeded, provide visual alerts. When alarms are set, the display shows the High alarm icon in red , the Low alarm in blue , or the combination High/Low Alarm icon in red and blue . Program High, Low, or combination High/Low alarm in Section 6, Programming Menu. The meter will alert the user when an alarm threshold has been triggered by changing the color of the temperature reading digits (red for high alarm trip and blue for low alarm trip). If the alarm is turned off ( selection in the Programming menu), the alarm function is deactivated and the alarm bell icons will not appear on the main display screen. 5.5 Display Mode Options There are three (3) display mode variations, explained in the next sections. To select a display mode please refer to Section 6, Programming Menu, or use the ‘shortcut’ by simply pressing the arrow buttons in the normal operating mode to step through the modes. 13 FLIR TG54_TG56 User Manual Document Identifier: TG54_TG56‐en‐US_AA ... - Page 14 5.5.2 Average/Delta Display Mode In Average/Delta mode the meter shows the average temperature reading, the real‐time temperature reading, and the Delta (difference between MAX and MIN) value. When the meter is set to the Average/Delta display mode, the delta icon is shown on the display near the middle of the top row of icons. The average reading is shown next to the average icon and the MAX minus MIN reading is shown next to the second delta symbol located on the lower half of the display. The real‐time reading is shown in its usual center location. While the trigger is pulled the meter calculates a continuous running average, taking 10 readings per second (sample rate of 10Hz) up to a maximum of 10 minutes (6000 data points). When the trigger is released the running average is reset. 5.5.3 Three‐reading Display Mode In three‐reading mode the meter shows the three most recent readings on one screen. See Fig. 4‐4. The current reading is shown in the center, the 2 most recent reading is preceded by the icon, and the third most recent reading is preceded by the icon. The readings at these positions change each time the trigger is released to capture newer readings. In addition, if the color of the digits change (because an alarm condition is met), the color stays with the digits as they move from reading 1 through reading 3. When the three‐reading display mode is selected, the icon is shown on the display near the middle of the top row of icons. 14 FLIR TG54_TG56 User Manual Document Identifier: TG54_TG56‐en‐US_AA ...

Page 15: Using The Type K Thermometer (Tg56 Only)
5.6 Using the Type K Thermometer (TG56 only) A Type K thermocouple thermometer jack is provided at the top of the TG56. The thermocouple plug has a wide and a thin connecting blade, please insert the thermocouple carefully, in the correct orientation; do not force it into the jack. When a thermocouple is connected, the temperature of the surface in which the thermocouple is touching is displayed (next to the icon) along with the IR temperature reading. The display mode area of the screen (middle of top row of icons) shows the thermocouple icon when a thermocouple is connected. The difference between the IR reading and the thermocouple reading is displayed next to the delta icon . When a thermocouple is connected to the meter other operational modes are not available. 5.6.1 Using the Type K Thermometer to set Emissivity Measure the surface of the object under test with the IR Thermometer. Measure the same surface with the Type K thermocouple thermometer. Note the difference (delta) between the two readings. Now adjust the Emissivity in the Programming menu (Section 6) so that the IR thermometer reading matches the Type K thermometer reading. When this is accomplished the emissivity setting is correct for the surface in question. Thermocouple notes: The supplied general purpose thermocouple is not rated for the entire measurement range of the meter. The thermocouple can be damaged if temperature outside its specified range is measured. In all cases, please use a thermocouple that is rated for the intended application only. Refer to the specifications section of this User Manual for meter temperature and thermocouple temperature ranges. The accuracy characteristics of the thermocouple probe should be added to the accuracy specification of the meter when interpreting thermocouple readings. The IR thermometer averages a larger area than the thermocouple probe, thus the emissivity adjustment procedure in Section 5.6.1 is an approximation. 15 FLIR TG54_TG56 User Manual Document Identifier: TG54_TG56‐en‐US_AA ... -

Page 25: Infrared Energy And Ir Thermometer Theory
9.2 Infrared Energy and IR Thermometer Theory Infrared energy is part of a complete range of radiation called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X‐rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves (RADAR), and radio waves. The only difference is their wavelength or frequency. All of these forms of radiation travel at the speed of light. Infrared radiation lies between the visible and RADAR portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation. Any object which has a temperature radiates in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Even objects that are very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared. When an object is not quite hot enough to radiate visible light, it will emit most of its energy in the infrared. For example, hot charcoal may not give off light, but it does emit infrared radiation, which we feel as heat. The warmer the object, the more infrared radiation it emits. IR Thermometers measure an object’s surface temperature. The thermometer’s optics sense an object’s emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy. The TG Series translates the sensed information (targeted by the Laser) into a temperature reading that is displayed in text on the center of the display. If the thermometer measurement exceeds the published temperature range, the display will indicate OL. The amount of IR energy emitted by an object is proportional to an object's temperature and its ability to emit energy. This ability is known as emissivity and is based on the material of the object and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.1 for a very reflective object to 1.00 for a flat black finish. The TG Series has both adjustable and preset emissivity settings. There are four (4) presets and an adjustable emissivity span from 0.10 to 0.99. See the Appendix for a list of common materials and their respective Emissivity factors. Access the Programming menu (covered in Section 6) to set the desired emissivity factor. 25 FLIR TG54_TG56 User Manual Document Identifier: TG54_TG56‐en‐US_AA ... -
