Introduction 5.1 General description The FLIR ETS3xx is FLIR’s first electronic test bench camera, designed for a quick tem- perature check of PCB boards and electronic devices. The FLIR ETS3xx is sensitive enough to detect subtle temperature difference with an accuracy of ±3°C (±5.4°F), so you can quickly find hot spots and potential points of failure.
• Charge the battery using a USB cable connected to a computer. Note Charging the camera using a USB cable connected to a computer takes considerably longer than using the FLIR power supply or the FLIR stand-alone battery charger. 2. Connect a ground cord to the ground stud on the ESD mat of the camera stand.

Handling the camera unit Follow this procedure: 1. Turn and remove the top of the stand. 2. Loosen the stand mount knob and remove the camera unit from the stand. 3. Turn the fine-adjustment knob counter-clockwise until you can see a screw. Remove the screw.
Operation 9.1 Saving an image You can save multiple images to the internal camera memory. Approximately 1500 im- ages can be saved to the internal camera memory. The naming convention for images is FLIRxxxx.jpg, where xxxx is a unique counter. Follow this procedure: 1.
Operation 9.5 Measuring a temperature using a spotmeter You can measure a temperature using a spotmeter. This will display the temperature at the position of the spotmeter on the screen. Follow this procedure: 1. Push the center of the navigation pad. This displays a toolbar. 2.
Operation 9.10 Working with color alarms By using color alarms (isotherms), anomalies can easily be discovered in an infrared im- age. The isotherm command applies a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature above or below the specified temperature level. This table explains the different color alarms (isotherms).

Operation Follow this procedure: 1. Push the center of the navigation pad. This displays a toolbar. 2. On the toolbar, select Settings . This displays a dialog box. 3. In the dialog box, select Measurement parameters. This displays a dialog box. 4.
Operation 9.16 Performing a non-uniformity correction (NUC) When the thermal camera displays Calibrating... it is performing what in thermography is called a ”non-uniformity correction” (NUC). An NUC is an image correction carried out by the camera software to compensate for different sensitivities of detector elements and other optical and geometrical disturbances .
9.18 Updating the camera To take advantage of our latest camera firmware, it is important that you keep your cam- era updated. Download firmware updates from our Customer Support Center at http://support.flir.com. #T810252; r. AE/85858/85858; en-US...

Thermographic measurement techniques 14.1 Introduction An infrared camera measures and images the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temperature makes it possible for the camera to calculate and display this temperature. However, the radiation measured by the camera does not only depend on the tempera- ture of the object but is also a function of the emissivity.

Thermographic measurement techniques 14.2.1.1.1 Method 1: Direct method Follow this procedure: 1. Look for possible reflection sources, considering that the incident angle = reflection angle (a = b). Figure 14.1 1 = Reflection source 2. If the reflection source is a spot source, modify the source by obstructing it using a piece if cardboard.
Page 39
Thermographic measurement techniques 3. Measure the radiation intensity (= apparent temperature) from the reflection source using the following settings: • Emissivity: 1.0 • D You can measure the radiation intensity using one of the following two methods: Figure 14.3 1 = Reflection source Figure 14.4 1 = Reflection source You can not use a thermocouple to measure reflected apparent temperature, because a thermocouple measures temperature, but apparent temperatrure is radiation intensity.

Thermographic measurement techniques 5. Measure the apparent temperature of the aluminum foil and write it down. The foil is considered a perfect reflector, so its apparent temperature equals the reflected appa- rent temperature from the surroundings. Figure 14.5 Measuring the apparent temperature of the aluminum foil. 14.2.1.2 Step 2: Determining the emissivity Follow this procedure: 1.

15.3 Camera calibration at FLIR Systems Without calibration, an infrared camera would not be able to measure either radiance or temperature. At FLIR Systems, the calibration of uncooled microbolometer cameras with a measurement capability is carried out during both production and service. Cooled cam- eras with photon detectors are often calibrated by the user with special software.
The calibration information, no matter if the calibration is done by FLIR Systems or the user, is stored in calibration curves, which are expressed by mathematical functions. As...
About calibration Calibration is also a prerequisite for adjustment, which is the set of operations carried out on a measuring system such that the system provides prescribed indications corre- sponding to given values of quantities to be measured, typically obtained from measure- ment standards.
