Read this manual thoroughly before use, and keep it for future reference.
Overview
This portable thermal imaging camera provides visualization of temperature
distribution through 6-step mixing of infrared images and visible-light images.
Maximum, minimum, and the temperature at the center are regularly displayed
numerically. It helps a user to detect abnormal temperature areas and temperature
curves rapidly. Images are stored on a microSD card.
Important Notices
Beware of Explosion
SK-8500 is not explosion-proof. Never use it in an atmosphere containing
flammable gases.
Cautions
To use SK-8500 properly, follow the instructions below.
Do not use the device as a clinical thermometer.
Do not let this contactless device touch the object.
Do not drop, vibrate, or give a shock to the device, as it is a sensitive instrument.
Do not use the device under direct sunlight, aside a heat source, or in a dusty
place.
The measuring accuracy and stability may be worsened when working close to
electrical noise.
Do not measure temperature out of the measurable range.
Do not leave the device in a place like an automobile on a fine summer day, or
the extreme heat may damage it.
Remove batteries if not used for a long period, or it may lead to fluid leakage.

Important Notices Beware of Explosion SK-8500 is not explosion-proof. Never use it in an atmosphere containing flammable gases. Cautions To use SK-8500 properly, follow the instructions below.
- Page 2 Do not wipe the lenses directly with a cloth to not to leave a scar. The device is not waterproof. Do not wet it. Wait for a while before use if the ambient temperature fluctuates excessively, to prevent the accuracy from being affected.
- Page 3 Display Infrared image Visible-light image 1. Battery indicator: Replace batteries when is shown. Full Empty 2. MicroSD card not inserted or recognized: Switch off the device and insert the card again when is shown. 3. Temperature at the center: Mean temperature at the central cross-hairs 4.
- Page 4 Inserting Batteries Follow below to insert batteries when using for the first time or battery is low. Battery voltage may resume a little tentatively and show when switched on after the device shuts down by itself due to power loss. Note that this state does not last long, thus the batteries need exchanging immediately.
- Page 5 2. Press the power key for 2 seconds to switch on. 3. Face the device to a target referring to a thermal image on the display. 4. Choose your preferred image mode by pressing ▲ or ▼ key, from six patterns below of an infrared image and a visible-light image layered in different ratios.
- Page 6 Cautions When in Use Wait until the device gets accustomed to the ambient temperature when it has changed rapidly. Continuous measurement of a hot object may worsen performance or burn your hands. Take a distance longer than 320 mm and finish measuring quickly in such cases.
- Page 7 Color Pattern Three color patterns to represent the measured temperature in an infrared image are installed in the device to let you choose one. 1. Every time SET key is pressed when the cursor is pointed at the icon of color pattern, it switches to another pattern.
- Page 8 4. Adjust the coefficient by pressing ▲ or ▼ key, then press SET key to confirm. To exit without fixing the value, press key instead of SET key. 5. Press key to revert to measurement. Emissivity coefficient table Note that the following shows reference values. The coefficient fluctuates depending on temperature and surface conditions.
- Page 9 4. Press key for a few times to revert to measurement. To delete all images at once 1. Select the icon of microSD in the main menu and press SET key. 2. Choose the lower icon next. 3. Choose to remove all images in the microSD, or choose ESC to cancel it and revert to the main menu.
- Page 10 Hour: Minute 12- or 24-hour display Date/Month/Year 3. Modify the value with ▲ or ▼ key, then press SET key to move the cursor to the next item. Set date Set month 4. Press key to revert to measurement. Troubleshooting Refer to the following instructions when error messages below are displayed.
