Model/Type: X320 Camera
Thank you for choosing the X320 Thermal Imaging Camera. With
its small size, rugged design, and simplicity, you can now focus on
the job at hand, rather than the camera in your hand.
Before using this camera, please read these instructions carefully,
and retain them for future reference.
Welcome to Infrared
L-3 EOTech has long been a leader in the production and
development of military products based on infrared thermal
imaging. In an effort to make this technology more widely
available, L-3 EOTech's engineers and scientists developed many
unique ways of translating infrared energy into visible imagery.
Now L-3 EOTech is providing affordable thermal imaging
solutions for fire, law enforcement, marine, security, and other
commercial uses.
Infrared energy often referred to as “infrared” or “IR”, is
electromagnetic radiation that travels in a straight line through
space, similar to visible light. Although infrared shares some of the
properties of visible light, its different wavelength has several
unique characteristics. For instance, materials that are opaque to
visible light may be transparent to infrared, and vice–versa. Also,
unlike visible light, which is given off by ordinary objects only at
very high temperatures (e.g. light bulbs), long wavelength infrared
(7–14 µm) is emitted by all objects at ordinary temperatures. This
means infrared is all around us all the time, even in the dark.
Different objects give off varying amounts of infrared, depending
on the temperature of the object.

Camera Start-Up
The camera requires approximately 5 seconds of start-up time.
During these 1st 5 seconds after the camera is switched on, a logo
will appear in the Display. After 5 seconds have passed, the logo
will disappear, and video of the thermal scene begins.
Camera Shutter
To maintain an optimum Thermal Image, the X320 automatically
shutters. During this shutter, the video freezes for approximately
3/4 second, and a faint “click” sound may be heard inside the
camera. Shuttering occurs in the 1st 2 minutes after turning on the
camera at 30-second intervals. Otherwise, the camera shutters only
if its internal temperature changes by 2°C or more.
Automatic Contrast
Video contrast is constantly adjusted either higher or lower, based
upon the informational content in the scene.
When viewing people, automobiles, boats, and other warm objects
at close range, the video gain is automatically decreased to provide
more detail on facial features and flat surfaces.
When viewing a scene with low informational content, i.e. a park,
field, or roadway, the video gain is automatically increased to
provide more detail in the background of the scene, e.g. trees,
bushes, roadway edges.
Checking the Battery Power

approximate amount of charge remaining in the batteries. New

Cleaning
Do not apply any chemicals to the camera.
⇒ Clean the body of the camera using a water-moistened cloth.
⇒ Clean the Lens with a cleaner/cloth that has been specially
formulated for cleaning camera lenses – one is provided, and
if additional cloths are needed, they may be purchased from
any camera retailer.
3. GUI
Included with the X320 is a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
that the user can use to customize the scene display and the
functionality of the User Control Switch.
Computer Requirements for GUI
• Processor/Computer: Pentium 1GHZ (or higher).
• RAM: 1GB (or greater)
• Hard disk space: 1GB (or greater)
• Operating Software:
- Windows XP 32bit
- Windows vista
- Windows 7
- Windows 8

When starting the GUI a warning message appears on the
computer screen
It is recommended that the user insert a fresh set of batteries
or plug the camera into the optional power adapter and
remove the internal batteries when communicating with the
GUI to avoid data loss.
IF THE X320 LOSES POWER DURING
COMMUNICATION WITH THE GUI, INTERNAL
MEMORY OF THE CORE MAY BE CORRUPTED
AND THE CAMERA MAY NOT FUNCTION
PROPERLY UNTIL FACTORY DEFAULTS ARE
RESTORED.
Click OK on the warning message and the GUI panel
appears.
19
The single panel screen shown above provides access to all
of the customization options available to the user via 10
separate user zones.
First make sure that the X320 is turned ON. Next, connect
the camera to a computer USB port using the included cable
with the USB connector. Next, click the Connect button
. Once connected the Status light turns green
and changes from to

Drop Box Expanded
The Very Long Push drop box is a factory defined function
that resets the X320 to factory defaults and is grayed out
since it cannot be re-assigned to another function.
Selecting an option from the drop boxes defines the
operation of the X320 when the User Control Switch is
pressed for the specified time period.

Colorization Sequence sets the X320 to toggle through the
selections made in the Colorization Sequence zone
White Hot means that cold objects in the scene appear black and

Black Hot reverses the setting so that hot objects
appear black and cool objects appear white

Hot Target Level (I & II) assign color to the hottest 1% (Level I)
or 10% (Level II) of the objects in the scene.

The color assigned can be selected
from Hot Target Level Color zone by
clicking on the colored box.
Below is an example of a standard image with Hot Target Level

Manual Touch-up instructs the camera to perform a single point
non-uniformity correction. Auto Touch-up calibrations occur
periodically for the first 120 seconds as the camera is warming
up unless turned off by the user in Camera Shutter Touch-up
zone.
Touch-up calibrations may improve image quality if the camera
has changed temperature or if the scene has drastically changed.
Default factory settings have Auto Touch-up enabled for the first
120 seconds (recommended) and then the max interval set after
that (32767 seconds). The camera automatically performs a
touchup when the camera changes temperature by 2°C. With
this setting one of the User Control Switch functions can be

assigned to perform Manual Touch-up for improved image
quality.
Display Icons turns symbology elements ON/OFF in the

oTemperature Number displays the value of the
temperature reading in the scene. The temperature
reading is taken by sampling the center 4×4 pixels of
the scene. This is centered about the crosshair.
oC-F Character displays the units of the temperature
reading (C for degree Celsius and F for degree
Fahrenheit). The Temperature Units zone is used to
select the temperature units.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 Can different battery types be used?
A1 As long as the battery is an AA size, the user can install
Alkaline, NiMh Rechargeable, or Lithium. NOTE: The X320
can run on AA Alkaline batteries but performance and battery
life may be inconsistent.
Q2 Why does my camera sometimes behave erratically?
A2 When batteries become very low, the camera may behave
erratically (i.e. video flashing, power cycles on & off, etc).
Replacing batteries is the most common cure to erratic
operations.
Q3 Is the Lens normally difficult to turn?
A3 Yes, the camera is manufactured with tight seals to make it
waterproof, which makes these seals difficult to turn.
