Introduction
This publication provides the necessary information required to safely operate the
ThermoProTM TP8S IR Thermal Camera.
It is important to fully check all equipment with which you have been supplied.
The equipment should be used, maintained and serviced by suitably trained personnel,
capable of carefully following the procedures and guidelines given in this User Manual.
All User Manuals and leaflets should be read thoroughly before proceeding with operation of
the equipment.
It is also advisable that all User Manuals and Instruction Leaflets supplied are kept readily
available, for reference when the equipment is in general use.
Precautions
The following precautions must be adhered to at all times and must be considered in addition to
any advised precautions issued at the relevant worksite or work area.
•Keep the THERMOPROTM TP8S IR Thermal Camera steady during operation.
•Do not use the THERMOPROTM TP8S IR Thermal Camera in temperature
exceeding its working and storage temperature ranges.
•Do not direct the THERMOPROTM TP8S IR Thermal Camera at very high intensity
radiation sources such as the sun, carbon dioxide lasers or arc welders etc.
•Do not expose the THERMOPROTM TP8S IR Thermal Camera to dust and moisture.
When operating the unit near water, ensure that the unit is adequately guarded
against splashes. Always replace the lens cap when the unit is not in operation.
•When the THERMOPROTM TP8S IR Thermal Camera is not in use or is to be
transported, ensure that the unit and its accessories are stored in the protective
carry case.
