Keeping Track of Your Lenses

If you have multiple imaging radiometers of the same make and model, it is imperative to keep your lenses with the imager chassis to which they have been calibrated. Because each lens is individually calibrated to a specific imager, mixing up lenses from different imager bodies can cause serious inaccuracies when measuring temperatures.

The easiest way to keep track of your lenses is to mark each lens with the serial number of the chassis to which it has been calibrated. This can be done by using a permanent marker or pressure sensitive label to apply the serial number to the body of individual lenses.

It is recommended that lenses be marked upon receipt of the camera. Taking a few minutes to do this before you use your new equipment can prevent errors and embarassment in the future.

Imager selection and operation are two of the many topics covered in the Level I Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer^® training course.
