Laserliner 082.083A ThermoCamera Compact Plus Pro

Function / Application

This thermographic camera allows for non-contact temperature measurement on surfaces by means of radiation in the infrared wavelength range via the integrated non-chilled microbolometer. The imaging technology of the sensor provides a visual image of the temperatures surrounding the inspected object. The temperature differences can be visualised by colour-coding the individual temperatures in a thermo-gram with false colour display. Possible application options include detecting thermal bridges and insulation flaws, locating overheating spots in electrical or mechanical building elements, finding heating pipes in walls or floors, detecting leaks, locating defective solar cells in PV modules etc.

Settings: VolumeMeasure
Up to three measuring points can be defined simultaneously (Spot (S): temperature at centre of image, Max (H): highest temperature, MIN (C): lowest temperature).Emissivity
Before each use, check the settings for infrared measurement and adjust them to the respective measuring situation to ensure accurate measurements. Pay particular attention to the general parameters for the emissivity coefficient and the reflection temperature.
Emissivity: Emissivity coefficient
The level of infrared emissions given off by everything depends on the specific material and surface. This factor is determined by the emissivity coefficient (0.10 … 1.0). For accurate measurements, it is absolutely essential that the emissivity coefficient is set first. The emissivity coefficient can either be custom set or selected based on the predefined emissivity coefficients from the material list. Pressing and holding the button increases or decreases the value in steps of 10.

Emissivity: Reflection temperature

Reflection temperature

Infrared measurements of specific objects can be affected by reflection from other objects nearby or even from the ambient air because the measured object cannot be fully isolated. The reflection temperature setting can help compensate for the interference. The reflection temperature is generally the same as the ambient temperature. However, if larger objects with significantly different temperatures (approx. > 20 °C) are in close proximity to the measured area, its effects must be taken into account. For this purpose, follow these steps:

Set emissivity coefficient to 1.0
Blur the object out of focus (Refer to Section 14)
Aim the camera in the opposite direction of the actual measured object
Determine the average temperature
Set the average temperature as the reflection temperature

Image modes

There are 3 image modes to choose from.

IR image (IR)
Digital image (Visible)
Digital full-screen image with IR image (MIX)

Colour ranges IR image

You can choose from several standard colour ranges to represent the measured infrared temperatures. Depending on the colour palette, the measured temperatures are adjusted within the current image section and displayed in the respective colour space. The bargraph for the respective minimum/ maximum temperatures of the entire image serves as a reference for the corresponding temperature/ colour mapping.

Measurement rangeTemperature range manual/automatic

Automatic temperature range
This setting is used to adjust the temperature range of the IR image and the resulting distribution of the colour spectrum of the infrared image. The colour spectrum of the measured IR image is determined in relation to the temperature range and colour scale.
The colour distribution of the IR image is automatically and dynamically adjusted in the bargraph based on the measured min./max. values.
Manual temperature range
In manual settings mode, the temperature range is no longer set automatically based on the measured min./max. values but rather determined on the basis of manual values. Refer to Section 13
The min/max values last measured are taken as the default setting every time the temperature range is switched from AUTO to Manual.

Manual temperature rangeCamera focus / Shutter-function

In addition to the basic settings in the measuring tool, the camera focus and the shutter function (image calibration) play an essential role in achieving high-quality thermography results. You should focus on the measured object as well as possible so that the outlines and contours are clearly visible on the display.
Image calibration takes place automatically or can be triggered manually by briefly pressing the ON/OFF button.

Zoom

The view can be zoomed (32x). Pressing and holding the button accelerates the zoom levels.

Media gallery / playback mode / to delete recording

In the media gallery, you can access and play all of the images and videos recorded with the ThermoCamera Compact

Capture image / record audio

Using the „Trigger“ button (11), users can take images or video of any measurement situation for subsequent documentation. The microphone integrated in the headset also records audio while recording a video.You cannot record anything without a storage medium.

Target laser

The target laser makes area-specific measurements easier by facilitating pinpointing. In addition, the laser is represented as a red dot on the display. Press and hold button „b“ to switch the device on and off.

LED lighting

The LED lighting is switched ON/OFF by pressing and holding the button „g“.
