5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Operation
Once powered on, the device will display the thermal image in real-time. Point the thermal imager at the object or area you wish to inspect. The screen will show temperature readings and a thermal representation of the scene.
5.2 Changing Imaging Modes
The ET692B supports five different imaging modes to suit various inspection needs:
- Rainbow: A common palette for general thermal imaging, showing a wide range of colors.
- Iron Oxide Red: Often used for high-contrast thermal images, highlighting hot spots.
- Cold Color: Emphasizes cooler temperatures with distinct color variations.
- Black & White: Displays thermal images in grayscale, with hotter areas appearing brighter.
- White & Black: Inverted grayscale, with hotter areas appearing darker.
To switch between these modes, navigate through the menu using the keypad and select the desired palette.
5.3 Capturing Images
To capture a thermal image, press the dedicated Image Capture Key. The image will be saved to the device's internal memory. You can later transfer these images to a computer for analysis.
