2. Technical Data
2.1 Functional Principle
The thermoIMAGER TIM calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects,
see Chap. 10. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plain array) allows a measurement of an area and
will be shown as thermographic image using standardized palettes. The radiometric processing of the picture
data enables the user to do a comfortable detailed analysis with the software TIM Connect.

camera version TIM 160 / TIM 200 featuring 72 ° HFOV optic.
2) We recommend the lenses with 48 ° optic for the camera thermoIMAGER TIM 200 and the lenses with 23 ° optic for the camera
thermoIMAGER TIM 230 for ideal combination of IR and VIS image.
3) At ambient temperature 23±5 °C; whichever is greater.
4) Value is valid at 40 Hz and 25 °C room temperature
5) The following options can be set:
Option 1 (IR with 96 Hz at 160 x 120 px; VIS with 32 Hz at 640 x 480 px);
Option 2 (IR with 128 Hz at 160 x 120 px; VIS with 32 Hz at 596 x 447 px)

4. Optical Charts
The variety of different lenses offers the possibility to precisely measure objects in different distances. We
offer lenses for close, standard distances and large distances. Different parameters are important if using
infrared cameras. They display the connection between the distance of the measured object and the size of
the pixel, see Fig. 3, see Fig. 5.
IR channel
VIS channel
Fig. 1 thermoIMAGER TIM 200 / TIM 230 with
VIS channel
Fig. 2 Focusing tool for VIS camera
The thermoIMAGER TIM 200 has also a visual camera (BI-SPECTRAL technology) with a 54 ° x 40 ° - lens
(TIM 230 with 30 ° x 23 ° lens). A visual image (VIS) can be combined with a thermal image (IR). Both can be
finally captured time synchronously:
i Please make sure that the focus of thermal channel and visual channel (thermoIMAGER TIM 200 / TIM
230 only) is adjusted correctly.
For focusing the thermal camera please turn the lens.
For focusing the visual camera please use the focusing tool, see Fig. 2, supplied in the scope of delivery,
see Chap. 3.1.1, see Chap. 3.1.2.
For individual configuration there are different lenses available. Wide angle lenses have a radial distortion due
to their large opening angle; the software TIM Connect contains an algorithm which corrects this distortion.
