4. Configuració

4.1 Càrrega inicial

Before first use, fully charge the device. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the camera's USB port and the other end to a compatible USB power adapter. The charging indicator will show the charging status. A full charge provides over 9 hours of continuous operation.

4.2 Instal·lació de la targeta Micro SD

The UTi120S supports Micro SD cards up to 16GB for storing images and videos. Locate the SD card slot on the side of the device. Insert the Micro SD card with the contacts facing down until it clicks into place. To remove, gently push the card in until it springs out.

5. Funcionament

5.1 Encès/Apagat

Manteniu premut el botó Potència/esquena button to turn the device on or off. The device will display the thermal image upon startup.

5.2 Mesura bàsica

Point the infrared camera lens towards the target object. The real-time thermal image will be displayed on the LCD screen. The device automatically detects and displays the temperature of the center point, as well as the highest and lowest temperatures within the view.

5.3 Temperature Measurement Modes

The UTi120S offers multiple measurement features:

• Punt central: Mostra la temperatura al centre de la pantalla.
• Hi-Lo Temp Tracking: Automatically identifies and tracks the highest and lowest temperatures within the field of view.

5.4 Paletes de colors

The device features 7 color palettes to visualize thermal data. You can select the most suitable palette for your application to enhance contrast and detail:

• Ferro vermell
• Calor blanca
• Calor Negra
• Arc de Sant Martí
• Calor Vermella
• Lava
• Arc de Sant Martí d'Alt Contrast

Navegueu pel menú amb el botó Up i Avall botons i premeu OK to select a palette.

5.5 Laser Pointer and LED Lighting

The device includes a laser pointer for accurate targeting and an LED light for illuminating dark areas.

• Punter làser: Long press the trigger button to activate the laser pointer, which helps pinpoint the exact measurement area.
• Il·luminació LED: The LED light can be toggled on/off through the device's menu settings to assist in visual inspections.

5.6 Emissivitat ajustable

Emissivity is a measure of an object's ability to emit infrared energy. Different materials have different emissivity values. For accurate temperature readings, adjust the emissivity setting (0.01~0.99) in the device menu to match the material being inspected.

Figura 5.5: Illustrates the concept of adjustable emissivity for precise thermal imaging, showing how correct emissivity settings improve measurement accuracy compared to incorrect settings.

5.7 Freqüència d'actualització alta

The UTi120S features a 25Hz refresh rate, providing smooth and responsive thermal imaging. This allows for quick and accurate identification of temperature anomalies, even when scanning moving objects or performing rapid inspections.

Figura 5.6: Highlights the 25Hz fast image frequency of the UTi120S, demonstrating the smooth and clear thermal imaging experience compared to lower refresh rates, which aids in accurately locating targets.

6. PC Analysis and Data Management
