Thermal imaging camera
Recommended chargers
A) In accordance with standard VDI 5585 (average)
B) In accordance with standard VDI 5585
C) At an ambient temperature of 20 to 23 °C and an emissivity of > 0.999, measuring distance: 0.3 m, operating time: > 5 min, aperture of
60 mm
D) Plus use-dependent deviation (e.g. reflection, distance, ambient temperature)
E) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occasional temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
F) Depends on battery in use
G) At an ambient temperature of 20–30 °C
Technical data determined using the battery that comes with the product.
The serial number (3) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool.
Assembly
Battery Charging (see figure A)
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your measuring tool.
Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your measuring tool
can lead to malfunctions or damage to the measuring tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
before the first use.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
To insert the charged battery pack (21), slide it into the bat-
tery bay (19) until you feel it click into place and it is flush
with the handle of the measuring tool.
To remove the battery pack (21), press the release
buttons (20) and pull the battery pack out of the battery
bay (19). Do not use force to do this.
Operation
Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct
u
sunlight.
Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem-
u
peratures or variations in temperature. For example,
do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In
case of large variations in temperature, allow the measur-
ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before put-
ting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool
may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperat-
ures or variations in temperature.
Make sure that the measuring tool is correctly accli-
u
matised. In case of large variations in temperature, accli-
matisation can take up to 60 minutes. This may be the
case, for example, if you store the measuring tool in a cool
car and then perform a measurement in a warm building.
Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping
u
it. After severe external influences and in the event of ab-
normalities in the functionality, you should have the
1 609 92A 58Z | (22.02.2021)
measuring tool checked by an authorised Bosch after-
sales service agent.
Starting Operation
Switching On and Off
To take a measurement, fold the protective cap (1) up-
wards. Make sure that the infrared sensor is not closed
off or covered while working.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the on/off
button (11). A start sequence will appear on the
display (17). The measuring tool begins to take measure-
ments as soon as the start sequence has finished and does
so continuously until it is switched off.
Note: In the first few minutes, the measuring tool may self-
calibrate several times, as the sensor temperature and ambi-
ent temperature have not yet been brought into line. Per-
forming sensor calibration again enables precise measure-
ment.
During this time, the temperature indicator may show ~. The
thermal image will freeze briefly during sensor calibration. If
the ambient temperature fluctuates significantly, this effect
is increased. If possible, you should therefore turn on the
measuring tool a few minutes before starting to measure, so
that the tool can stabilise thermally.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the on/off
button (11) again. The measuring tool saves all settings and
then switches itself off. Close the protective cap (1) to trans-
port the measuring tool safely.
In the main menu, you can choose whether and after how
long the measuring tool automatically switches off(see "Main
Menu", page 11).
If the battery pack or the measuring tool is not within the op-
erating temperature range specified in the technical data,
the measuring tool will switch off automatically after a brief
warning (see "Errors – Causes and Corrective Measures",
page 13). Allow the measuring tool to reach the correct
temperature and then switch it back on.
