3. Intended use The WB-200 thermal imaging camera enables non-contact infrared temperature measurement from -10 to +400 °C with imaging temperature display. The IR sensor (bolometer matrix) has a resolution of 80 x 60 pixels and enables simultane- ous measurement of 4800 temperature points. The temperature points are shown in a false colour thermal image on the display.
5. Safety instructions These instructions contain important information on how to use the thermal imaging camera cor- rectly. Please read them carefully before using the thermal imaging camera for the first time. Damage caused due to failure to observe these instructions will void the warranty. We shall not be liable for any consequential damage.
6. Notes on rechargeable batteries Make sure that you have read and understood the following information and safety instructions before handling rechargeable batteries. a) General information • Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around unattended. Children or pets may swallow them. If rechargeable batteries have been swallowed, seek medical attention immediately! •...
• The rechargeable battery should be removed from the product if it is not used for a long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries may cause acid burns when they come into contact with skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves to handle damaged batteries. •...
8. Product description The thermal imaging camera has a graphic TFT colour display. This display can be used for all necessary displays and to implement all settings. The main menu, which can be called up via a multi-function button, allows you to set the operating parameters. The arrow buttons allow easy navigation in the menu.
• To turn the camera on, press and hold down the red on/off button on the keypad below the display for approx. two seconds. • The camera will turn on and display the “VOLTCRAFT” start screen for approx. four seconds. The image sensor will be calibrated at the same time. This is indicated by a quiet clicking sound.
b) Control keypad Different buttons are used to control and set the measuring instrument. The buttons have the following functions: On/off button (3) To turn the device on or off, press and hold down the button for approx. two seconds. Automatic power-off can be set in the menu.
c) Display elements and symbols The following symbols and information are shown on the display. 1 “G” symbol for “Gain” for setting the temperature ranges High Gain: Small temperature range, high detail resolution Low Gain: Large temperature range, low detail resolution 2 “Crosshairs”...
d) System settings The measuring instrument allows the system data relevant to the user to be set via a menu. Such data includes the menu language, units of measurement, time and date, etc. These system settings must be made in advance so measurements can be stored with a time stamp, etc. •...

e) Setting the measurement range Set the measurement range to expand the scope of application of the camera. There are two ranges: High Gain The camera reduces the measurement range to the most commonly used temperature range and thus increases the detail display. This range is used to display precise temperature differences.
f) Setting the temperature markers By default, the spot temperature for the thermal image is displayed on the up- per left corner of the screen. You can use various settings to mark the actual measuring point. The middle measuring point can be displayed, in which the temperature measurement takes place.
g) Setting the colour palette Set the colour palette to choose the optimal display contrast for your measure- ment application. There are three colour palettes. Iron palette Typical colour palette for thermal image applications. The cool spots are dis- played dark and turn from red to white for the hot spots. Rainbow palette The cool spots are displayed dark and turn from bright colours to white for the hot spots in rainbow mode.
h) Image gallery The saved images can be viewed directly on the camera. In addition, the thermal image parameters can be displayed and unnecessary images can be deleted directly. To view/delete the saved images, proceed as follows: • Press the “SET” button to open the settings menu. •...
12. Taking measurements In order to obtain precise measured values, the measuring instrument must be adjusted to the ambient temperature. Allow the device to adjust to the ambient temperature after relocation. Lengthy IR measurements of high temperatures at a small measuring distance cause self-heating of the measuring instrument and thus an inaccurate measurement.
c) Saving the screen content IR thermal images or screenshots of measured values can be stored on the removable microSD memory card. The images are saved in bitmap format (.bmp) and can be reused by all graphics and table editing programs. This allows for logging of measurement series.
13. Cleaning and maintenance a) General information To ensure the accuracy of the thermal imaging camera over a long period of time, it should be calibrated at least once a year. The measuring instrument is absolutely maintenance-free except for occasional cleaning and battery replacement. Regularly check the device for technical safety, for example, for damage to the casing or deformation, etc.
14. Disposal Electronic products are raw material and do not belong in the household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations. Remove the inserted battery cell and dispose of it separately from the product. Disposal of used batteries/rechargeable batteries! You are required by law to return all used batteries.
16. Technical data Measuring tolerances These accuracy readings are valid for one year at a temperature of +23 °C (± 5 °C) and a relative humidity of less than 75%, non-condensing. The accuracy of measurements may be affected when the device is used in a high-frequency electromagnetic field. Measurement range .........-10 to +400 °C Accuracy ............±...
