Safety information
2
WARNING
Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on containers before you use a liquid. The liquids can be dangerous. Injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for example,
devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the
camera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
CAUTION
Do not use the camera in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F), unless other information is specified
in the user documentation or technical data. High temperatures can cause damage to the camera.
CAUTION
Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items. Damage to the battery and injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-reflective coating which is easily damaged. Damage to the infrared lens can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-reflective
coating.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras with an automatic shutter that can be disabled.
Do not disable the automatic shutter in the camera for a long time period (a maximum of 30 minutes is
typical). If you disable the shutter for a longer time period, damage to the detector can occur.
NOTE
The encapsulation rating is only applicable when all the openings on the camera are sealed with their
correct covers, hatches, or caps. This includes the compartments for data storage, batteries, and
connectors.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras where you can remove the lens and expose the infrared detector.
Do not use the pressurized air from the pneumatic air systems in a workshop when you remove dust
from the detector. The air contains oil mist to lubricate the pneumatic tools and the pressure is too high.
Damage to the detector can occur.

6.3 Installation
6.3.1 General
Last-minute changes and other important information can be found in the read-me file on
the CD-ROM. We recommend that you read this file before you install the programs.
NOTE
• If you experience problems during the installation, visit our Customer Help at http://support.flir.com.
• You must be an Administrator or a user with Administrative Rights to install the programs.
• A complete installation consists of several subinstallations, some of which are from third-party vendors. Do not abort these subinstallations, as they are needed for the complete installation.
• A complete installation can take up to 10 minutes to complete.
6.3.2 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Close down all applications.
2. Insert the ThermoVision System Tools & Utilities CD-ROM into the CD drive on the
computer. The installation should start automatically.
Should the installation not start automatically, start Windows Explorer and doubleclick SETUP.HTM on the CD-ROM.
3. Click one of the following:
• Install FLIR IP Config.
• Install FLIR IR Monitor.
• Install FLIR IR Camera Player.
• Install AXXX Control & Image Interfaces.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Mechanical installation

7.1 Mounting interfaces
The camera unit has been designed to allow it to be installed in any position. The housing has three mounting interfaces—bottom, left, and right—each with the following
threaded holes.
• 2 × M4 metric threaded holes.
• 1 × UNC ¼20 standard tripod mount.
7.2 Notes on permanent installation
If the camera unit is to be permanently installed at the application site, certain steps are
required.
The camera unit might need to be enclosed in a protective housing and, depending on
the ambient conditions (e.g., temperature), the housing may need to be cooled or heated
by water or air.
In very dusty conditions the installation might also need to have a stream of pressurized
air directed at the lens, in order to prevent dust build-up.
7.3 Vibrations
When installing the camera unit in harsh industrial environments, every precaution
should be taken when securing the unit.
If the environment exposes the unit to severe vibrations, there may be a need to secure
the mounting screws by means of Loctite or another industrial brand of thread-locking
liquid, as well as to dampen the vibrations by mounting the camera unit on a specially designed base.
7.4 Further information
For further information regarding installation recommendations and environmental enclosures, contact FLIR Systems.
7.5 Cable strain relief
In installations were the camera is subject to vibrations or shocks the power cord may
need an external strain relief arrangement to avoid power port failure.
The following pictures show two examples on how cable strain relief of the power cord
can be solved.
Example 1, cable strain relief with zip ties.

2. Rotate the lens ring 30° counter-clockwise (looking at the front of the lens).
3. Carefully pull out the lens ring from the bayonet ring.
4. Correctly position the lens in front of the bayonet ring.
5. Carefully push the lens into position.
6. Rotate the lens 30° clockwise (looking at the front of the lens).
8.2 Removing an additional infrared lens
NOTE
• Do not touch the lens surface when you remove an infrared lens. If this happens, clean the lens according to the instructions in section 16.2 Infrared lens, page 72.
• When you have removed the lens, put the lens caps on the lens immediately, to protect it from dust
and fingerprints.
8.2.1 Procedure
Follow this procedure to remove an additional infrared lens:
1. Push the lens release button to unlock the lens.
2. Rotate the lens counter-clockwise 30° (looking at the front of the lens).
3. Carefully pull out the lens from the bayonet ring.
4. Correctly position the lens ring in front of the bayonet ring.
5. Carefully push the lens ring into position.
6. Rotate the lens ring 30° clockwise (looking at the front of the lens).

Temperature screening
11
11.1 Applicability
This section applies to the following camera models:
• FLIR A320 Tempscreen (30 Hz).
• FLIR A320 Tempscreen (9 Hz).
11.2 Description of the function
The screening function in allows you to screen a large number of persons for facial temperatures that lie above a set reference temperature.
When an elevated temperature is detected, the camera will trigger a visible and/or audible alarm.
NOTE
• You can change the temperature by 2°C (3.6°F) (described below) using the Screening tab in FLIR
IR Monitor (included on the ThermoVision System Tools & Utilities 1.5.1 HF2 (1.5.1.16)). HF2 can
be downloaded from http://support.flir.com.
• The camera should run for at least 30 minutes before carrying out measurements.
• The distance to the face should be adapted so that the face covers more than 75% of the image
width.
11.3 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Connect the camera to a video monitor.
2. Connect the camera to power.
3. Connect the IN 1 port to +10–30 V DC, using cables and an NO (normally open) electrical switch.
4. Aim the camera at a face (at the inner corner of an eye) that is assumed to have a
normal temperature. Close the switch for a period of less than 2 seconds to acquire a
temperature sample. Repeat this procedure on at least 10 faces that are assumed to
have a normal temperature. You have now set the reference temperature. If you want
to reset or restart the reference temperature, close the switch for a period of more
than 2 seconds. See the schematic drawing on the next page for set-up details.
5. You can now begin screening. Aim the camera at the faces of people whose facial
temperature you want to screen (at the inner corner of the eye). If a person’s facial
temperature is more than 2°C (3.6°F) above the set reference temperature, an alarm
will be triggered.
