4. Operating Instructions

Once connected and the app is running, the thermal camera will display a live thermal feed. The app interface provides various tools and settings to optimize your thermal imaging experience.

4.1 Basic Operation

• Live View: The main screen displays the real-time thermal image.
• Capture Image/Video: Use the dedicated buttons within the app to capture still images or record thermal videos.
• Gallery: Access captured images and videos through the app's gallery feature.

4.2 Temperature Measurement Modes

The Teslong Thermal app offers several modes for precise temperature analysis:

• Max/Min/Center Point Analysis: Displays the highest, lowest, and central temperature readings within the current view.
• Temperature Tracking: Continuously monitors and updates the Max/Min/Center point temperatures as the camera moves.
• Point Measurement: Manually select specific points on the screen to display their exact temperatures.
• Line Measurement: Draw a line across the thermal image to identify the highest and lowest temperatures along that line.
• Surface Measurement: Define a rectangular area to display the highest and lowest temperatures within that region.

This image demonstrates the temperature tracking feature, showing a thermal view of a circuit board on a smartphone screen. It highlights the minimum, maximum, and center point temperatures detected, along with a comparison of thermal readings before and after equipment testing.

4.3 Color Palettes

The camera offers 6 color palettes to visualize temperature differences. You can switch between these palettes to best suit your application and enhance contrast for specific scenarios:

• Iron: A common palette, good for general use.
• White Hot: Hotter areas appear white, cooler areas appear black.
• Black Hot: Hotter areas appear black, cooler areas appear white.
• Rainbow: Uses a spectrum of colors to represent temperature.
• Red Hot: Highlights hotter areas with shades of red.
• Cold Blue: Emphasizes cooler areas with shades of blue.

This image presents six distinct color palettes available for the thermal imager: Iron, White Hot, Black Hot, Rainbow, Red Hot, and Cold Blue. Each palette is shown applied to a thermal image, demonstrating how different color schemes can highlight temperature variations.

4.4 Advanced Features

The Teslong Thermal app includes additional features for enhanced analysis:

• Regional Temperature Measurement: Allows for detailed temperature analysis within user-defined regions.
• Highlight Rectangle Temperature: Focuses on and highlights temperature data within a specific rectangular area.
• High-Temperature Alarm: Set a threshold for high temperatures, and the app will alert you when this threshold is exceeded.
• Highlight High-Temperature Regions: Automatically identifies and visually emphasizes areas exceeding a specified temperature.

This image illustrates various functional modes within the Teslong Thermal app. It shows options for regional temperature measurement, highlighting rectangular areas, setting high-temperature alarms, and automatically highlighting high-temperature regions on the thermal display.

5. Maintenance
