Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual iv
Introduction The Fluke Ti10, Ti25, TiR, and TiR1 Thermal Imagers (hereafter “the Imager”) are handheld imaging cameras used for predictive maintenance, equipment troubleshooting, and verification. All four Imagers produce thermal and visual images on a 640 X 480 display. Thermal and visual images are displayed on the Imager LCD and can be saved to an SD Memory card. Transferring images to a PC is accomplished by removing the SD memory card and connecting it to a PC through the included card reader.
Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Safety Information Use the Imager only as specified in this manual. See Table 1 for a list of symbols used on the Imager and in this manual. A Warning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Imager or cause permanent loss of data.
Thermal Imagers Unpacking the Imager Unpacking the Imager Carefully unpack the following items: • Ti10, Ti25, TiR or TiR1 Imager • AC Power Adapter/Charger • Rugged Carrying Case • SD Memory Card • SD Card Reader • Soft Transport Bag • User Manuals (in various languages) • SmartView™ Software • Warranty Registration Card Charging the Battery Before using the Imager for the first time, charge the battery for at least two hours.

To bring up the menu, press a.
Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Setting the Date To set the date: 1. Press a until Date appears over the F1 softkey. 2. Press the softkey labeled Date. The date can be displayed in one of two formats: MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY. 3. Press the softkey labeled with the desired date format. 4. Press the softkey labeled Up (c) or Down (d) to adjust the selected date element. 5. Press the softkey labeled Next to move to the next date element. 6. Press the softkey labeled Done when finished.
Thermal Imagers Saving Imager Data Note Minimum focus distance for thermal (IR) camera is 15 cm (approx. 6 inches). Minimum focus distance for visible (visual) light camera is 46 cm (approx. 18 inches). Note The Imager can save the image as a simple picture or as a radiometric image that allows further temperature analysis. To change the saved image format, see the “Setting File Format” section later in this manual.
Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Selecting a Palette The palette menu provides different thermal viewing patterns. Grayscale, BlueRed, High Contrast, and Ironbow are available in all four Imagers. The TiR1 and Ti25 add Amber and Hot Metal to the list. To select a palette: 1. Press a until Palette appears over c. 2. Press the softkey labeled Palette to display the available palette options. 3. Press the softkey labeled Up or Down to move between the palette options. 4.
Thermal Imagers Adjusting the Thermal Image Total Imager Range Level Span exj02.eps Figure 1. Range and Span Settings Setting the Level (Manual) When put into manual ranging, the level setting adjusts the thermal span within the total temperature range of the Imager. See Figure 1. To set the level: 1. After entering the manual range mode (See the “Setting the Range” section above), press the softkey labeled Level. 2.
Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual 2. Press the softkey labeled Increase to widen the temperature span or Decrease to narrow it. 3. Press the softkey labeled Done to set the Imager’s range level. Switching Between PIP and Full IR (Ti10 and TiR Only) The Imager can be set to display a full infrared image (Full IR) or an infrared image surrounded by a visual light image (Picture-in-Picture / PIP).
Thermal Imagers Adding Voice Annotation to Saved Data (Ti25 and TiR1 Only) 4. Press the softkey labeled Up to display the previous image or Down to display the next stored image. To delete a single Image from the SD card: 1. Perform the steps under viewing stored images above to bring the desired image to the display. 2. Press the softkey labeled Select. 3. Press the softkey labeled Delete. To delete all the images from the SD card: 1. Press a to activate the menu. 2.
Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual Listening to Voice Annotations (Ti25 and TiR1 Only) To play the voice annotation already stored with an image on the SD card: 1. Perform the steps in the “Reviewing and Deleting Stored Images” section to bring the desired image to the Imager’s display. 2. Press the softkey labeled Select. 3. Press the softkey labeled Audio. 4. Press the softkey labeled Review. The saved voice annotation will be replayed through the Imager’s speaker.
Thermal Imagers Setting Emissivity (Ti25 and TiR1 only) the object's surface. The Imager detects the infrared energy from an object and uses this information to estimate the temperature of the object. Most of the objects measured such as painted metal, wood, water, skin, and cloth are very efficient at radiating energy and it is easy to get very accurate measurements. For surfaces that are efficient at radiating energy (high emissivity), the emissivity factor is estimated to be 95% (or 0.95).
Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Users Manual To set the emissivity value directly: 1. Press the softkey labeled ε. 2. Press the softkey labeled Up or Down to increment or decrement respectively the emissivity value displayed just above the softkey labels. 3. Press the softkey labeled Done to select the set value. Setting File Format Data stored on the Imager’s SD card can be saved in two different file formats: .bmp and .is2. This setting is saved and remains valid when the Imager is turned off and back on.
Thermal Imagers Changing the SD Card Changing the SD Card To eject an SD card from the Imager, press in on the exposed edge of the SD card and then release. The card should pop partially out after releasing it. Carefully pull the card out of the slot. Note The SD Card can be inserted and removed while the Imager is in operation. To insert an SD card into the Imager, carefully slip the card into the slot with the card’s label facing toward the LCD display. Push the card in until it catches.
