1. OVERVIEW The MTi10 96 x 96 Pixel 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”...

materials, like painted metal, wood, water, skin, and cloth, emit energy effectively, making it easier to capture accurate temperature readings. High-emissivity surfaces (≥0.90) are good radiators of energy and yield reliable measurements. However, shiny surfaces or unpainted metals, which have an emissivity below 0.6, do not radiate energy as well. For these low-emissivity materials, adjusting the emissivity setting helps improve temperature accuracy.

Steps to Set Reflected Temperature: 1. Set the emissivity to 1.0 2. Adjust the lens for a close focus. 3. Look away from the object and take a measurement, then freeze the image. 4. Find the average value of the image and use it as the reflected temperature input.

6.2. Reflective Temperature In the Reflective Temperature submenu, press the " " and " " arrows to adjust the reflective temperature values. Reflective temperature is crucial for accurate radiometric temperature measurement. The Thermal Imager compensates for reflective temperature to improve measurement accuracy. Typically, the reflected temperature matches the ambient temperature.

6.4. Temperature Range You can choose between two temperature measurement ranges: -20~150°C and 0~550°C. The overlap range between these two options provides more accurate measurements, so it is recommended to select -20~150°C for better precision. 6.5. Temperature Unit There are three temperature units to choose from: ℃ (Celsius), ℉ (Fahrenheit), and K (Kelvin).
