infrared (IR)

Electromagnetic energy in wavelengths that are between visible light and RF (radio

 

frequency).

infrared detector

A transducer element (sensor) that converts incoming radiant infrared energy striking its

 

surface into an electrical signal. The Thermal Imager measures this signal and translates it

 

into a thermal image (Also see “bolometer.”)

IP rating

An international standard rating system for a device’s resistance to water and dust

LCD

Liquid-Crystal Display -- the type of color display on the Thermal Imager.

LED

Light-Emitting Diode – used as light-up indicators

LED floodlight

A floodlight to illuminate the work area. It helps with the visual images, but does not change

 

thermal images.

lens cap

A protective cover over the thermal imager lens.

level

The mid-way temperature point of the range in use. When you adjust the level, the width of the

 

window from lowest to highest temperature stays the same and the whole window moves up

 

or down in temperature.

Li-Ion

Lithium-Ion: the type of rechargeable battery used in the MILWAUKEE M12 series products.

load

The term for transferring images to a computer. You can load images directly from the SD card

 

using the SD card reader USB adapter, or from the Thermal Imager with the SD card installed,

 

using the USB cable.

M12

A family of MILWAUKEE 12V Li-Ion rechargeable battery powered tools, rechargeable

 

batteries and accessories.

media door

The rubber cover over the SD card slot and Mini USB socket on the side of the Thermal

 

Imager.
