Thermal imaging features
Switching on/off
To switch on, open the protective flap by sliding it in the
direction of the arrow and thus unlocking it. The un-
locking is audible and noticeable by a clear cracking.
The flap then opens automatically and the thermal
sensor is released. Within four seconds, the device will
boot up and the thermal image will be displayed on
the screen. This automatic switch-on function can also
be deactivated in the menu if required, for example if
accidental switching on in the pocket is to be reliably
prevented (p.47).

Alternatives in on/off
If the protective flap is damaged or even completely
torn off, e.g. in a particulary harsh use, there is a
further possibility to switch the TILO™ off and on by
pressing the buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for at
least one second.
Operating time in thermal imaging
mode
The running time in the thermal imaging mode
depends on different factors:
• Quality of battery used
• Low ambient temperatures may shorten the ope-
rating time considerably
• Simultaneous use of the lamp function shortens
the running time, in particular the IR lamp must be
observed. Its simultaneous operation may not be
noticed. The IR lamp operates in a wavelength ran-
ge that the thermal sensor cannot detect.
• Bright display illumination reduces running time. In
pure thermal imaging mode, the runtime of the TILO-
3™ under optimal conditions is approx. 3:30h.
To extend the operating time, please also refer to the
Engage flap to switch off
notes on p. 38 and the external power supply on p. 49.
Operating time under extreme condi-
tions (e. g. cold)
If the battery is already heavily drained or used at
very low temperatures (0° to – 20°C), the battery
may not be able to provide the comparatively high
currents required to operate the automatic shutter
(calibration). The device then switches automatically
to manual calibration mode and remains ready for
use. The following changes apply:
1. If calibaration is necessary, the shutter flag
appears (small, green unfilled square at the
bottom left, or at the top right).
2. If the shutter flag is not responded to with a
manual calibration the following can deteriorate
the image:
– Vignette formation (increasing deterioration
of contrast from the outside)
– Possibly vertical stripes
– General contrast reduction
– Increased noise
If the unit is started up in very cold conditions or when
the battery is almost empty the abovementioned res-
trictions occur at the beginning but can also be eli-
minated by manual calibration (see next chapter). All
in all, the runtime increases with the use of manual
calibration.
Screen texts
The currently selected filter (left) and the current zoom
level (right) are displayed at the top of the screen
(p.56).
Thermal filter
The TILO™ has ten different thermal filters which
can be selected one after the other by pressing and
holding button 2. The thermal filters have different
functions for different situations. All tactical and
black and white filters also exist as „boost version".
This is characterized by an increased contrast and a
pronounced edge reinforcement. However, this also
increases the image noise. The boost mode is espe-
cially helpful in bad thermal conditions such as rain.
