Limitations & Safety Notes

• Always keep the protective glass clean. Smudges or dirt can affect the accuracy of your thermal readings.
• Regularly check the protective glass for damage and replace if scratched or cracked to maintain optimal performance.

Tradie Pro Tip

Always give your protective glass a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth before a job. Even a small smudge can throw off thermal readings, especially when you're trying to pinpoint a subtle hot spot or a hard-to-find leak.
