5. Setup

5.1 App Installation

1. Ensure your smartphone runs Android 6.0 or above.
2. Download the official 'Xtherm' application from the Google Play Store. Search for "Xtherm" and install.
3. Grant necessary permissions to the Xtherm app when prompted.

5.2 Connecting the Camera

1. Carefully connect the USB-C connector of the T2S Plus camera to your smartphone's USB-C port.
2. The Xtherm app should automatically launch or prompt you to open it.
3. If the app does not launch, open it manually. The camera will draw power from your phone.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Operation

1. Once connected and the Xtherm app is open, the thermal image will appear on your smartphone screen.
2. Point the camera at the object or area you wish to inspect.
3. Adjust the 8mm macro lens by rotating it to achieve a clear and focused thermal image. This is crucial for detailed inspections, especially at close range.

6.2 Temperature Measurement Modes

The Xtherm app provides various temperature measurement and analysis tools:

• Full-Screen Temperature Measurement: Displays maximum, minimum, and central point temperatures across the entire thermal image.
• Point/Line/Area Measurement: Allows you to select specific points, lines, or areas for detailed temperature statistics and analysis.
• Palette Selection: Choose from multiple color palettes (e.g., white-hot, black-hot) to visualize temperature differences effectively.
• PIP Mode (Picture-in-Picture): Integrates a visible light image with the thermal image for enhanced context.

6.3 Temperature Correction Modes

For accurate temperature readings, especially in varying environments, utilize the temperature correction settings within the Xtherm app:

• Correction: Adjusts the overall temperature offset.
• Reflection: Compensates for reflected temperatures from surrounding objects.
• Ambient Temperature (Amb temp): Input the ambient air temperature.
• Humidity: Input the relative humidity of the environment.
• Emissivity: Adjust based on the material properties of the target object. Different materials emit infrared energy differently.
• Distance: Input the distance between the camera and the target object.

6.4 Image and Video Storage

The Xtherm app allows you to capture and store both thermal photos and videos directly on your smartphone for later analysis and reporting.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Lens: Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lens. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution designed for optics can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Cleaning the Device Body: Wipe the camera body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the T2S Plus in its protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
