4. Operating Your Thermal Master P3
4.1 Fonctionnement de base
The P3 operates on a plug-and-play basis, drawing power directly from your connected device. No internal battery or charging is required. Simply connect the device, open the Temp Master app, and begin your thermal analysis.
The 8mm manual focus lens allows you to adjust the focus for clear thermal images, from macro inspections of small components to mid-range scanning up to 80 meters.

Mesure de la température
The P3 offers a temperature detection range of -4°F to 1112°F (-20°C to 600°C) with an accuracy of ±3.6°F (±2°C) using IQ+ Precision Temp Measurement. The app provides various measurement modes, including points, lines, and areas, allowing for detailed analysis. You can also fine-tune measurements by adjusting environmental factors like emissivity, ambient temperature, and measurement distance.

6. Dépannage
Voici quelques problèmes courants et leurs solutions :
- Q1: Why is the Temp Master app not responding when plugged in?
A: a) Verify that 'OTG' is enabled in your phone's Settings. On most phones, OTG is enabled by default and ready to use. b) Install the Temp Master app and grant all required permissions. c) Reconnect your item. If issues persist, contact our after-sales team. - Q2: What should I do in the event of a blurry screen?
A: Refresh the images by tapping the Shutter icon. - Q3: Can the camera detect objects under water, outside windows?
A: No. Thermal imaging detects surface-level heat, which is blocked or reflected by water, glass, and fabrics. - Q4: Why do I always hear a 'click' sound?
A: This is the shutter sound of the thermal camera to maintain image clarity. You can temporarily disable it by following: Setting → Image Setting → Automatic shutter.
