Snap-on Diagnostic Thermal Imager Imager F.A.Q.

How do I calibrate the Snap-on Diagnostic Thermal Imager?

To calibrate the Snap-on Diagnostic Thermal Imager, ensure the device is in a stable environment and follow the on-screen instructions for calibration in the settings menu.

What steps should I take if the thermal imager isn't turning on?

First, check the battery charge level and ensure it is fully charged. If the problem persists, try a different battery or power source. Additionally, inspect for any physical damage or contact Snap-on support.

How can I update the software on my Snap-on Diagnostic Thermal Imager?

Connect the thermal imager to Wi-Fi, navigate to the settings menu, and select the software update option. Follow the prompts to download and install the latest firmware updates.

What is the best way to clean the lens on the thermal imager?

Use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics. Gently wipe the lens to remove any dust or smudges, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

How do I interpret the thermal images captured by the device?

Interpretation involves analyzing the color gradients that represent temperature variations. Warmer areas appear in red or yellow, while cooler areas appear in blue or green. Refer to the user manual for detailed analysis techniques.

Can I save thermal images to an external device?

Yes, thermal images can be saved to an external device via USB connection or by transferring files to a PC using the included software.

What should I do if the thermal imager displays inaccurate temperature readings?

Ensure the imager is properly calibrated and the lens is clean. Verify that the emissivity settings match the material being measured. If issues persist, perform a factory reset or contact support.

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The battery typically lasts about 4 to 6 hours on a full charge, depending on usage and settings. It is recommended to carry a spare battery for extended use.

Is it possible to measure temperature through glass with the thermal imager?

No, thermal imagers cannot accurately measure temperatures through glass as it reflects infrared radiation. For accurate readings, ensure direct line of sight with the target surface.

How do I switch between different measurement modes on the thermal imager?

Access the settings menu on the imager and select the measurement modes option. From there, you can switch between modes such as spot, area, and differential temperature measurements.
