• SET Button: Press the SET button to confirm selections or enter sub-menus.
• Capture Button: Press the dedicated capture button (often a trigger-like button) to save the current thermal image to the inserted SD card.

5.2. Adjusting Emissivity

Emissivity is a crucial setting for accurate temperature measurement, as it defines how well an object emits thermal radiation. Different materials have different emissivity values. To adjust:

1. Navigate to the "Settings" menu using the navigation buttons.
2. Select "Emissivity".
3. Adjust the value based on the material you are inspecting. Refer to the common emissivity reference table in Figure 8 for guidance.
4. Confirm your selection with the SET button.

5.3. Dual Camera Mode & Image Fusion

The TR120-US allows you to blend visible light and thermal images for enhanced detail. You can typically adjust the fusion level through the on-screen menu or dedicated buttons, allowing you to see both the thermal signature and the visual context of the object.

5.4. Temperature Alarms

Set high and low temperature alarms to be notified when temperatures exceed or fall below a specified threshold. This is particularly useful for monitoring critical systems or identifying anomalies quickly.

1. Access the "Settings" menu.
2. Select "HI/LO Alarm".
3. Set your desired high and low temperature thresholds.
4. Enable or disable the alarm function as needed.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body. For the lens and screen, use a lens cleaning cloth and specialized cleaning solution to avoid scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
