Basic Operation and Imaging

The FI160S provides clear and detailed thermal imaging with its 320x240 super resolution and 25Hz high frame rate. This allows for quick and safe diagnosis of electrical and mechanical failures, as well as surveying high-voltage or hazardous targets.

The camera offers accurate temperature measurement within a range of -4°F to 1022°F (-20°C to 550°C). It features 3 customizable alarms (LCD, LED, buzzer) and automatically pinpoints the highest, lowest, and center temperature points, displaying real-time readings for easy detection of hot spots and hidden anomalies.

With a thermal sensitivity of <0.06°C/NETD<50 mK, the FI160S can perceive very small temperature differences, aiding in the detection of subtle issues. Emissivity settings are adjustable for accurate readings on various materials and surfaces.

Chế độ hình ảnh

The FI160S offers four distinct image modes to enhance your inspection capabilities:

• Nhiệt: Displays a pure infrared image.
• Ánh sáng nhìn thấy được: Records actual visual images for easy recording and location identification.
• Hình trong hình: Places the infrared image in the center of a frame with a visual image around the outside, providing context for better comparison.
• Thermal Mix: Adds visible light details to thermal images in real-time for greater clarity, allowing for instant recognition of problematic heat patterns.

Bảng màu

The FI160S offers 6 selectable color palettes to optimize the infrared image contrast for different inspection scenarios and applications:

• Sắt
• Cầu vồng
• Trắng nóng
• Đen nóng
• Dung nham
• Rainbow HC

Built-In Laser Pointer

The integrated laser pointer assists in precisely locating objects in dark environments for targeted measurements. This is a Class II laser (IEC/EN60825-1/2014) with a power output of ≤1mW.

Image Storage and Transfer

The thermal imager is equipped with 32GB of EMMC memory for storing images. To transfer captured images to a computer, connect the camera using the supplied USB cable. The Firecore software (not compatible with iOS) allows for full inspection and analysis of the images on a PC screen. The software enables toggling of screen elements (high, low, center temperature values), changing color palettes post-capture, and performing temperature annotations, area averages, and comparisons. It also features an HD (Super Resolution) button to upscale images to 960x1280 for detailed analysis.

4. Bảo trì

Vệ sinh thiết bị

To clean the camera body, use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lens is kept clean for optimal image quality; use a lens cleaning cloth specifically designed for optics.

Chăm sóc pin

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device regularly, especially if it will be stored for an extended period. Store the camera in a cool, dry place.

Tính năng độ bền

The FI160S is built for demanding environments, featuring a 6.6-feet drop protection and an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. It also includes auto shut-off options (5-minute, 10-minute, 30-minute) to conserve battery life during long hours of use.

KHAI THÁC. Xử lý sự cố

Các vấn đề thường gặp và giải pháp

• Nghèo Viewing Angles on LCD: The LCD screen may exhibit poor viewing angles, particularly when viewed from above. Adjust the camera's position or your viewGóc quay tối ưu để đạt độ rõ nét cao nhất.
• Thermal/Visible Image Misalignment: In some instances, the thermal and visible light images may appear misaligned, especially after a factory reset or storage reformatting. Currently, there is no user-adjustable setting to correct this alignment. If this issue significantly impacts functionality, contact customer support.
• PC Software Real-Time Projection Not Working: The real-time screen projection feature in the PC analysis software may not function correctly, potentially causing the program to freeze. If this occurs, end the program via your operating system's task manager. Image analysis features remain functional.
• Đọc nhiệt độ không chính xác: Ensure the emissivity setting is correctly adjusted for the material being measured. Refer to standard emissivity tables for common materials.
