Marker Placement Matters!

When it comes to enhancing the visibility of the IR.Tools Extreme Thermal Vehicle Markers, especially in conditions where air conditioning ducts are in the vehicle’s ceiling, the placement plays a crucial role.

Understanding Roof Cooling and Its Impact

Many SUVs are designed with air conditioner ducts located in the ceiling. While this design provides comfort to the passengers, it can inadvertently affect thermal visibility. The cooling effect from these ducts may extend to the roof, leading to a situation where your thermal markers become less apparent.

Strategic Placement for Maximum Effectiveness

To ensure that your thermal markers remain highly visible, it’s essential to place them strategically, avoiding the roof areas affected by the air conditioner’s cooling. Here are some recommended placement ideas:

  1. In Front of the Light Bar: Positioning the markers here keeps them away from the cooled roof areas, maintaining their visibility.
  2. On the Hood: This provides an ideal vantage point, away from roof cooling interference.
  3. On the Trunk: Another viable option to ensure the markers are not obscured by cooling effects.

Key Takeaway

Avoid placing the thermal markers directly over or near the air conditioning ducts. By positioning them thoughtfully, you can ensure optimal visibility and performance.
