1. INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The MTi13 265 x 192 Pixels Thermal Imager is a handheld camera designed for predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, and equipment verification. Simply focus the lens on the target, and thermal and visual images appear on the LCD screen, ready to be saved to a Micro SD card. To transfer images to a PC, just remove the SD card and use the included card reader, or use the "Thermal-X”...
4. BEFORE YOU START 4.1. How to Charge the Battery Before using the MTi13 Thermal Imager for the first time, fully charge the battery for about three and a half hours. The battery's status will display on a six-segment charge indicator. Here's how to charge it: 1.
Power Button " ". Note: After powering on, allow the MTi13 Thermal Imager a brief warm- up period for accurate temperature readings and optimal image quality. First, the visible image will appear, followed by a brief calibration of the thermal sensor.
4.4. Desktop The desktop is as follows: 1 - Battery Capacity Status 2 - Temperature Unit 3 - Distance Unit 4 - Emissivity 5 - Wifi Status 6 - SD Card 7 - Time 8 - Centre Point Temperature readings 9 - Centre Point Cross 10 - Main Menu 11 - Max Temperature of...
4.7. Emissivity Adjustment Selecting the correct emissivity value is essential for accurate temperature measurement, as surface emissivity significantly impacts the temperature readings the Thermal Imager detects. By understanding and adjusting emissivity values, you can improve measurement accuracy. Note: For surfaces with emissivity below 0.60, accurate temperature readings become more challenging.
4.9. Thermal Imager Reporter Software The Thermal Imager comes with Thermal Imager Reporter software, which enables image analysis, data organization, and professional report creation. The software also allows you to add audio annotations and commentary that can be reviewed on a PC. 5.
The Thermal Imager offers five display image modes: IR, Visible, Picture- in-Picture, AUF Mode, and Zoom Mode. Visible: IR: displays displays infrared only visible image: image: AUF: Auto Fusion Mode compares the temperature in the centre area with the rest of the screen. The device then automatically calculates the blending ratio of infrared and visible images for the best results.
5.4 Standard Palette 1. In the main menu, press the "<" or ">" button to highlight Palette. 2. Press the " " button to open the Image submenu, which displays eight colour palette options. 3. Use the "<" or ">" button to highlight your desired palette. 4.
5.6. Parameter Menu 1. In the main menu, press the "<" or ">" button to highlight Parameters. 2. Press the " " button to open the Object Parameter submenu. 5.6.1. Ambient Temperature Compensation • In the Ambient Temperature submenu, use the "<" and ">" arrows to adjust the temperature value.
5.6.3. Atmospheric Humidity • In the Atmospheric Humidity submenu, use the "<" and ">" arrows to adjust the humidity value. • Water vapor in the air can absorb infrared radiation, potentially affecting temperature measurement accuracy. • You can set the compensation humidity level between 10% and 100% to account for varying air moisture.
5.6.6. Emissivity • In the Emissivity submenu, use the “<" and ">" arrows to adjust the emissivity value. • Emissivity sets the object's ability to emit infrared radiation, with a value range from 0.01 to 1.00. 5.6.7. Alarm Mode • OFF: Disables both the alarm display and sound. •...
5.7.1. Device Settings The Device Settings menu contains multiple pages. Use the " " button to move to the next item or the " " button to return to the previous item. Brightness: Use the slider bar to adjust the LCD brightness. WiFi: Press the Menu/OK button to turn on WiFi.
Language: Press the " " or " " button to select your desired language, then press the Menu/OK button to confirm and apply the selected language. Auto Power Off: • There are four options in the Auto Power Off menu: "OFF", "5 Min", "10 Min", "15 Min", and "30 Min".
