3 RO thermal imaging camera overview
The RO Thermal imaging camera Thermal Imaging Camera combines surface
temperature measurement & real-time thermal imaging.
The large colour display screen provides the user with visual information
based on the current activity including an on-screen curser to accurately
locate temperature hotspots.
The RO Thermal imaging camera uses a data storage system allowing the
user to store images on the device. These can be extracted through USB to
generate reports.
Suitable for many industries including plumbing & heating (radiators,
underfloor heating, energy auditing or water damage), automotive (heated
seats and windows, high resistance in wiring, overheating wiring or
components).
4 Maintenance
Use a damp cloth and light soap to clean the outer casing of the device. Don’t
use abradant, isopropanol or solvent to clean. The lens & screen should be
cleaned with cleaning agents for professional optical glasses.
To prevent damage of the refined anti-reflective coating:
• Don’t clean with force.
• Use a cleaning solution for lens maintenance, such as an alcohol-based
