1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the X320 or X640 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 m)
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.
8
The thermal imaging camera was designed to sense differing
amounts of long wavelength infrared coming from the various areas
of a scene and to convert them to corresponding intensities of visible
light on a display. This allows true see–in–the–dark capability, as
well as the ability to discern additional information—differences in
temperature—by observing the thermal properties of objects in any
light condition.
Infrared energy is emitted proportionally to the temperature
of an object . The warmer the object, the more energy it
emits. The infrared energy from the objects is focused by
the optics , onto an infrared detector . The information
from the Infrared detector is passed to electronics for
image processing. The signal processing circuitry translates
the infrared detector data into an image that can be viewed
on the built-in video monitor.

Handling and Precautions
All batteries can cause property damage or bodily injury if a
conductive material such as jewelry or keys touch exposed
terminals. Exercise care when placing batteries inside a pocket,
case, or other container with metal objects.
Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere,
such as a gas station or any place where you might normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Contact sparking may
occur and cause an explosion.
Do not remove power – removing batteries or disconnecting
optional external power supply – without first turning the
camera off using the on/off switch.
Do not permanently attach this camera to dynamic–mount
applications, such as on vehicles or heavy machinery, in which
transmitted vibration is continuously sustained.
Never point this camera directly into the sun, welding arcs,
or any other extreme intensity objects that you would not
view with your eyes. Doing so will damage the Camera.

Holding the Camera
The Camera can be mounted
to a tripod using the 1/4-20 insert.
The Camera can be held either right-handed, or left-handed.
To avoid dropping the camera,
attach the strap provided. Both a neck
strap and a wrist strap are provided for
your convenience. Attach the strap to
the camera by looping it through the
attachment point as shown here.
The camera can be held in any orientation – and the image in
the LCD Display remains upright (except symbology).
