When you turn on the Thermal Imager, it is always in AUTO RANGE mode. This means that it automatically selects the lowest temperature and highest temperature in its range to make thermal images. Usually, this produces the best results. However, if you want to use a narrower or wider temperature range, you can select MANUAL RANGE.

Typical reasons for selecting MANUAL RANGE:

•An area in the field of view that you want to focus on has a narrow range of temperatures, and you want to be able to resolve these small differences. For this, you would set a narrower MANUAL range than AUTO RANGE.

•There is one extremely hot point in the field of view, and you want to make sure that it gets measured. For this, you would set a wider MANUAL range than AUTO RANGE.

•There are both very cold and very hot objects in the field of view, and you want to make sure to measure both temperature extremes. For this, you would set a wider MANUAL range than AUTO RANGE.
