7. Night vision: Measuring the electromagnetic energies given off when objects emit heat, the IR0018 translates those energies into visible light for users to see them in the dark. 8. Building inspection: Check that heat is retained uniformly in a building.
2. Considerations and Safety Maintenance Please read the instructions carefully so as to ensure accurate measurement results and safety: Do not use the device in explosive, flammable or corrosive environments. Since the product is a precision electronic and sensitive optical device. Do not drop it or allow impacts to occur to prevent damage ...

7. Color Palette The menu of color palette can change the false color on the display screen or capture infrared image. There are five types of color palettes provided: rainbow, iron oxide red, cold color, black & white and white & black. Suitable selection of color palette displays the details of the target objective better: 1.

11. Measure Objects According to the characteristics of the objects and surfaces to be measured, users may select corresponding measurement modes or enter “advanced” option to adjust the value of emissivity (please refer to the table of “emissivity of common materials”). To do this: 1.
12. Emissivity The emissivity of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal radiation. The emissivity of the product can be adjusted from 0.10 to 1.00 with the default value of 0.95. Many common objects and materials (such as timber, water, skin and textile fabric) will reflect heat energy, so it is easy to obtain high accuracy as a result.
14. Image Registration The location of the visible light camera is above the infrared imaging sensor which is at the centre of the camera. Together they produce an image overlay (in between visible light mode and infrared mode) which would show the visible light image over the infrared image just like the image below.
