Introduction

Model 2260-21 M12™ 160x120 Thermal Imager is an ultra-rugged, hand-held battery-powered tool that takes thermal pictures, called “thermal images.” Thermal images reveal different temperatures as different colors. A bright color display shows an image of hot and cold spots and temperature gradients in-between. The temperature of the object in the center target is shown at the top of the thermal image. Information about the temperature range and color palette settings for the image are on the bottom of the image. See Figure 1.

You can optionally load the thermal images onto a computer to prepare a report later. The Thermal Imager and its supplied PC software satisfy the requirements of industrial electricians and technicians new to thermal imaging, as well as expert professional thermographers.

MILWAUKEE Thermal Imager Report Software is included on the CD (Compact Disk). Instructions for using the software are in the MILWAUKEE Thermal Imager Report Software Manual, which is on the supplied CD.

With the software, you can organize, choose, annotate and adjust images and present results in a report. In your report, you can write recommendations and add your company logo.
