4. Mode d'emploi

4.1 Mesure de température de base

Point the camera at the object or area you wish to inspect. The screen will display a real-time thermal image with temperature readings. The central crosshair indicates the spot measurement temperature.

4.2 Automatic Spot Tracking

The ECO-V automatically identifies and displays the hottest (hot spot), coldest (cold spot), and center temperature within the field of view. These points are marked on the screen with their respective temperature values, allowing for quick identification of anomalies.

4.3 SuperIR Technology

Activate SuperIR mode to enhance the thermal image resolution. This feature digitally processes the 96x96 pixel image to a clearer 240x240 pixel display, providing more detail for analysis.

Figure 3 : This image demonstrates the effectiveness of SuperIR technology. On the left, a thermal image is shown with SuperIR off (96x96 resolution). On the right, the same image with SuperIR on, displaying significantly improved clarity and detail at 240x240 resolution.

4.4 palettes de couleurs

The camera offers several color palettes to visualize temperature differences. Select the palette that best suits your application for optimal contrast and detail.

• Arc-en-ciel: General purpose, good for showing gradual temperature changes.
• Noir chaud : Hotter objects appear darker.
• Ironbow Hot: High contrast, good for identifying heat sources.
• Blanc chaud: Hotter objects appear brighter.
• Rouge chaud: Highlights hot areas in red.
• Fusion: Blends visible and thermal images.
• Alarm Above: Highlights temperatures above a set threshold.
