4 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the FLIR TG165 Imaging IR Thermometer. The TG165 is a unique IR Thermometer that blends Thermal Imaging capability with traditional IR Thermometer functionality. The TG165 purchase includes a wrist strap lanyard, micro SD memory card, universal AC adaptor/charger, and Quick Start guide. Other accessories are available at www.flir.com/test. This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. Please visit our support website www.flir.com/test to register the device, check for the latest version of this User Guide, view product updates, and to contact Customer Support. 4.1 Key Features Two lenses: one for the Thermal Imager and one for the IR Thermometer 60 x 80 pixel thermal imaging system Large, easy‐to‐read, bright graphical TFT display Dual Laser Pointers Quick and easy emissivity selection with four preset levels and a custom emissivity mode Tripod Mount Rugged industrial design Lanyard on handle 4.2 IR Thermometer Measurement Overview IR Thermometers measure an object’s surface temperature. The thermometer’s optics sense an object’s emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy. The TG165 translates the sensed information (approximately framed by the Lasers and further targeted by the Crosshairs) into a temperature reading that is displayed in text on the upper left corner of the display. If the thermometer measurement exceeds the published temperature range, the display shows OL. The amount of IR energy emitted by an object is proportional to an object's temperature and its ability to emit energy. This ability is known as emissivity and is based on the material of the object and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.1 for a very reflective object to 1.00 for a flat black finish. The TG165 has both adjustable and preset emissivity settings. There are four (4) presets and an adjustable emissivity span from 0.1 to 0.99. See the Appendix for a list of common materials and their respective Emissivity factors. Access the Settings Menu (explained in Section 9) to set the desired emissivity factor. For an overview of IR Thermography see the Appendices, Section 12.2 Infrared Imaging and Energy Overview. FLIR TG165 USER GUIDE Document Identifier: TG165‐en‐US_AA ... -
Page 9: Ir Thermometer Distance-To-Spot Ratio (24:1)
4.3 IR Thermometer Distance‐To‐Spot Ratio (24:1) Basics The TG165 Distance‐to‐Spot ratio (D:S) is 24:1. From a distance of 24” the TG165 measures the average temperature of a spot 1” in diameter. From a distance of 48” the spot diameter is 2” and from a distance of 72” the spot diameter is 3”. The temperature is shown at the top left of the TG165 display. Thermometer Lens In Fig 4‐1, the lens’ field of view is represented by the green dotted lines emanating from the thermometer lens. This field of view is angled 0.04 . The spot sizes (green circles 1, 2, and 3” in diameter) are shown in Fig 4‐1 at distances of 24, 48, and 72”. Two views of the target spots are shown: target spots as seen from the side, and target spots as seen from the user’s perspective (pointing at the target spots with TG165 in hand). Laser Pointers The Laser pointer lenses are shown as red (right side lens) and blue (left side lens) colored dots. These lenses are horizontal to one another on the meter but, as the meter is moved away from the target, the Laser beams rotate completely vertical so as to create a 1” spot at a distance of 24”. At a distance of 48”, the Lasers rotate further (2 and 8 o’clock positions) so that the spot diameter is 2”. The beams remain at this position for further distances (compare the beam rotations at 48” and 72”). Display Crosshairs The display crosshairs represent the target spot that the IR Thermometer lens is sensing.

Page 10: Ir Imager Field Of View
4.4 IR Imager Field of View Fig 4‐2 shows a top view where the two dashed lines (1) represent the left and right (horizontal) boundaries of the IR Image field of view (38.6 ). Fig 4‐3 shows a side view where the dashed lines (1) represent the top and bottom (vertical) boundaries of the IR image field of view (50 ). It is important to note that the IR Image is squared (as opposed to round, as in the case of the IR thermometer spot). In Fig 4‐2 the two solid lines (2) represent the IR Thermometer field of view. Item 4 (in both figures) is the IR Image field represented by a boxed shape with bold lines. In Fig 4‐2 the ellipses (3) represent the IR Thermometer’s measured spot diameter. As mentioned, the TG165’s crosshair circle closely approximates these spots. In Fig 4‐2 the laser pointers (2) frame the spots (3). In Fig 4‐3 the lasers’ plane (2) is shown as one line instead of two (since the lasers are on the same plane when viewed from the side). Note that measurements should not be taken closer than 10” (25.4cm) for best results. 38.6 Fig 4‐2 TOP VIEW IR Imager Field of View Fig 4‐3 SIDE VIEW IR Imager Field of View FLIR TG165 USER GUIDE Document Identifier: TG165‐en‐US_AA ... -

In a thermal image the hottest item in the scene appears as white and the coldest item as black, and all other items are represented as a gray scale value between white and black. It may take some time to get used to the thermal imagery. Having a basic understanding of the differences between thermal and daylight cameras can help with getting the best performance from the TG165. One difference between thermal and daylight cameras has to do with where the energy comes from to create an image. When viewing an image with an ordinary camera, there has to be some source of visible light (something hot, such as the sun or lights) that reflects off of the objects in the scene to the camera. The same is true with human eyesight; the vast majority of what people see is based on reflected light energy. On the other hand, the thermal imager detects energy that is directly radiated from objects in the scene. FLIR TG165 USER GUIDE Document Identifier: TG165‐en‐US_AA ... -
Page 29: Customer Support
This is why hot objects such as parts on an engines and exhaust pipes appear white, while the sky, puddles of water and other cold objects appear dark (or cool). Scenes with familiar objects will be easy to interpret with some experience. Infrared energy is part of a complete range of radiation called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X‐rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves (RADAR), and radio waves. The only difference is their wavelength or frequency. All of these forms of radiation travel at the speed of light. Infrared radiation lies between the visible and RADAR portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation. Any object which has a temperature radiates in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Even objects that are very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared. When an object is not quite hot enough to radiate visible light, it will emit most of its energy in the infrared. For example, hot charcoal may not give off light, but it does emit infrared radiation, which we feel as heat. The warmer the object, the more infrared radiation it emits. Infrared imaging devices produce an image of invisible infrared or “heat” radiation that is unseen by the human eye. There are no colors or “shades” of gray in infrared, only varying intensities of radiated energy. The infrared imager converts this energy into an image that we can interpret.
