Laserliner ThermoCamera Compact Plus / Pro

Introduction

Please read the operating instructions and the enclosed brochure "Guarantee and additional notices" completely. Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and if the laser device is passed on, this document must be passed on with it.

Function / Application

This thermographics camera allows for non-contact temperature measurement on surfaces by means of radiation in the infrared wavelength range via the integrated non-chilled microbolometer. The imaging technology of the sensor provides a visual image of the temperatures surrounding the inspected object. The temperature differences can be visualised by colour-coding the individual temperatures in a thermogram with false colour display. Possible application options include detecting thermal bridges and insulation flaws, locating overheating spots in electrical or mechanical building elements, finding heating pipes in walls or floors, detecting leaks, locating defective solar cells in PV modules etc.

The battery pack can be removed or inserted by opening the battery compartment (12).

Main Menu Navigation

The main menu can be navigated using the four directional buttons (b, c, f, g).

Settings

6.0 Settings Menu

The settings menu provides access to various device configurations. Navigation is done via the directional buttons.

You can select the menu language from a list including English, German (DE), Dutch (NL), Finnish (FI), Italian (IT), French (FR), and Swedish (SV).

6.2 Temperature Unit

Set the temperature unit to Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Kelvin (K).

6.3 Factory Reset

Restoring factory settings will erase all custom configurations. Use with caution.

6.4 Date / Time Settings

Configure the date format (YYYY-MM-DD, MM-DD-YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY) and time format (24h, 12h PM/AM).

6.5 Information

View device information such as Model (TCC / TCC Pro), Serial Number (S/N), Date, Version, and SD Card capacity.

6.6 Alignment

Adjust the screen alignment for optimal viewing.

6.7 Auto Power Off

Configure the device to automatically switch off after a period of inactivity (OFF, 5min, 10min, 30min).

6.8 Volume

Adjust the device volume.

Measurements

7 Measure Points

Define up to three measuring points simultaneously:

• S Spot: Temperature at the centre of the image.
• H Max: Highest temperature detected.
• C Min: Lowest temperature detected.

8.0 Emissivity

Emissivity is a crucial factor for accurate infrared measurements, representing how effectively a surface emits thermal radiation (0.10 to 1.0). It must be set correctly for the material being measured. You can set a custom value or select from a predefined list.

8.1 Emissivity Coefficient

The emissivity coefficient determines the level of infrared emissions from a material. For accurate measurements, it is essential to set this coefficient correctly. You can set a custom value or choose from the material list.

8.2 Reflection Temperature

Infrared measurements can be affected by reflection from other objects or ambient air. The reflection temperature setting helps compensate for this interference. Generally, it matches the ambient temperature. If large objects with significantly different temperatures (approx. > 20°C) are nearby, their influence must be considered. Follow these steps:

1. Set emissivity coefficient to 1.0.
2. Blur the object out of focus (Refer to Section 14).
3. Aim the camera in the opposite direction of the actual measured object.
4. Determine the average temperature.
5. Set the average temperature as the reflection temperature.

Image Modes and Palettes

9 Image Modes

Choose from three image modes:

• A. IR image (IR)
• B. Digital image (Visible)
• C. Digital full-screen image with IR image (MIX)

10 Colour Palettes

Select from several standard colour palettes to represent measured infrared temperatures. The colour mapping adjusts to the current image section, with the bargraph serving as a reference for temperature/colour correlation.

Ranges and Temperature Settings

11 Measurement Range

Pre-selection of measurement range:

• ? -20°C ... 150°C (ideal for interior and exterior)
• ? 0°C ... 350°C (ideal for industrial applications)

12 Temperature Range Manual / Automatic

Automatic temperature range: The device automatically adjusts the temperature range and colour spectrum based on measured min./max. values.

Manual temperature range: Set the temperature range manually. The last measured min./max. values are used as defaults when switching from AUTO to Manual.

13 Manual Temperature Range

This section details the process of setting the manual temperature range.

Camera Functions

14 Camera Focus / Shutter Function

Proper focus and shutter function (image calibration) are essential for high-quality thermography results. Ensure the object is clearly visible. Image calibration occurs automatically or can be triggered manually by pressing the ON/OFF button.

15 Zoom

The view can be zoomed up to 32x. Pressing and holding the button accelerates zoom level adjustments.

Media Management

16 Media Gallery

Access, play, and manage all recorded images and videos in the media gallery. Options include opening, deleting individual files, or deleting all files.

17 Capture Image / Record Audio

Use the Trigger button (11) to capture images or videos for documentation. The integrated headset microphone records audio during video recording.

Connectivity and Software

18 Target Laser

The target laser (⏏️) facilitates area-specific measurements by pinpointing. Press and hold button 'b' to switch it on/off.

19 LED Lighting

The LED lighting (?) can be switched on/off by pressing and holding button 'g'.

20 USB Data Transfer

Transfer saved data from the SD card to a PC via a card reader or directly via the USB port. The device can be connected as external storage ('Memory') or as a USB camera ('PC-Camera') on Windows PCs.

21 Software (Optional)

The included software allows data transfer, processing, and documentation on a PC. A driver installation is not required; the software operates on Windows XP/7/8/10.
