Power On and Off
To turn on or turn off the Imager, push and hold
for
>3 seconds. The Imager has Power Save and Auto Off
features. For more information about how to set these
features, see Settings Menu.
Note
All thermal imagers need sufficient warm-up time
for the most accurate temperature measurements
and best image quality. This time can often vary
by model and by environmental conditions.
Although most imagers are fully warmed up in 3-5
minutes, it is always best to wait a minimum of
10 minutes if the most accurate temperature
measurement is important to your application.
When you move the Imager between
environments with large differences in ambient
temperature, more adjustment time can be
required.
The Imager includes a calibration on-demand feature that
causes a calibration event to occur when you press
once briefly during operation. This feature provides the
best accuracy and avoids disruption of a timing-sensitive
image capture by the next automatic calibration.
Controls for Image Capture
The two-part trigger is located in the standard trigger
position for a pistol-grip device. The larger, green trigger is
the primary trigger. The smaller, black trigger is the
secondary trigger.
In normal operation (video is off), the function of the
primary trigger is to capture a thermal image for possible
storage to memory by the user. When video is on, the
primary trigger is the start/stop for video recording.
The secondary trigger operates the laser on supported
models.
Laser Pointer
The TiS45, TiS50, TiS55, TiS60, and TiS65 models
include a laser pointer. The laser pointer is a sighting aid
and is offset from the infrared camera. As a result, it may
not always represent the exact center of the infrared or
visible image.
The laser dot does not appear on an infrared-only image,
but does on visible-only or AutoBlend images. The laser
dot cannot be seen in the visible channel of the IR-Fusion
image if obscured by the center point marker graphic.
Pull the secondary trigger to turn on laser pointer, release
the secondary trigger to turn off the laser pointer.

Temperature Measurement
All objects radiate infrared energy. The quantity of energy
radiated is based on the actual surface temperature and
the surface emissivity of the object. The Imager senses the
infrared energy from the surface of the object and uses
this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Many common objects and materials such as painted
metal, wood, water, skin, and cloth are very good at
radiating energy and it is easy to get relatively accurate
measurements. For surfaces that are good at radiating
energy (high emissivity), the emissivity factor is ≥90 % (or
0.90). This simplification does not work well on shiny
surfaces or unpainted metals as they have an emissivity of
<0.60. These materials are not good at radiating energy
and are classified as low emissivity. To more accurately
measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity
correction is necessary. Adjustment to the emissivity
setting will usually allow the Imager to calculate a more
accurate estimate of the actual temperature.
Warning
To prevent personal injury, see emissivity
information for actual temperatures. Reflective
objects result in lower than actual temperature
measurements. These objects pose a burn
hazard.
More information is available on emissivity at
http://www.fluke.com/emissivity and

Emissivity Adjustment
The correct emissivity values are important for the Imager
to make the most accurate temperature measurement
calculations. Emissivity of a surface can have a large
effect on the apparent temperatures that the Imager
observes. Understanding the emissivity of the surface
being inspected can, but not always, allow you to obtain
more accurate temperature measurements.
Note
Surfaces with an emissivity of <0.60 make reliable
and consistent determination of actual
temperatures problematic. The lower the
emissivity, the more potential error is associated
with the Imager's temperature measurement
calculations. This is also true even when
adjustments to the emissivity and reflected
background adjustments are performed properly.
Emissivity is set directly as a value, or from a list of
emissivity values for some common materials.
Note
If the Display is set to Display All, you see the
information about current emissivity as ε = x.xx.
Adjust by Number
To set the emissivity value:
1. Go to Measurement > Emissivity > Adjust Number.
2. Push W/X
to change the value.
A custom emissivity value is indicated when any value not
in the standard emissivity table is selected.
Select by Table
To select from a list of common materials:
1. Go to Measurement > Emissivity > Select Table.

Background (Reflected Background
Temperature Compensation)
Compensation for reflected background temperature is set
in the Background tab. Very hot objects or very cold
objects can affect the apparent temperature and
measurement accuracy of the target or object of interest,
especially when surface emissivity is low. Adjustment of
the reflected background temperature can make the
temperature measurement better in many situations. For
more information, see page 18.
To adjust the background temperature:
1. Go to Measurement > Background.
2. Push W/X to change the value.
3. Push or when done.
Note
If the Display is set to Display All, you see the
information about current reflected background
temperature as BG = xx.x.
Transmission/Transmittance Adjustment
(TiS45, TiS55, TiS65 only)
When you do infrared inspections through infrared-
transparent windows (IR windows), not all of the infrared
energy emitted from the objects of interest is transmitted
through the optical material in the window. If the
transmission percentage of the window is known, you can
adjust this percentage in the Imager or in the SmartView
®
software. Adjustment of the transmission correction can
make the accuracy of the temperature measurement better
in many situations.
To adjust the transmission percentage:
1. Go to Measurement > Transmission.
2. Push W/X to adjust the percentage between 1 %
and 100 %.
If you set a value that is <30 %, shows on the
Imager display with this caution:

The high-temperature color alarm shows a full visible
image and only shows infrared information on objects or
areas that are above the set apparent temperature alarm
level. The low-temperature (or dew point) color alarm
shows a full visible image and only shows infrared
information on objects or areas that are below the set
apparent temperature (or set dew point) color alarm level.
The user must manually determine and set these
parameters.
Note
The Imager does not sense ambient or surface
dew point level automatically. To use the low-

How to Clean the Case
Clean the case with a damp cloth and a weak soap
solution. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or
solvents to clean the case or lens/window.
Lens Care
Caution
To prevent damage to the infrared lens:
• Carefully clean the infrared lens. The lens
has a delicate anti-reflective coating.
• Do not clean too vigorously as this can
damage the anti-reflective coating.
For lens care you will need a cleansing liquid such as a
commercial lens cleaning liquid with alcohol, ethyl alcohol,
or isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth or tissue. A
pressurized air can is used to remove loose particulates.
To clean the lens:
1. Blow off particulates from the lens surface with
pressurized air can or dry nitrogen-ion gun if available.
2. Soak the lint-free cloth in the alcohol liquid.
3. Squeeze the cloth to remove excess liquid or dab on
dry cloth.
4. Wipe the lens surface in one circular motion and
discard the cloth.
5. Use a new cloth with liquid if you need to repeat the
procedure.
