WARNING

Applicability Class B digital devices.

:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2	Safety information

WARNING

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if damage occurs, can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition.

WARNING

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

If there is a leak from the battery and you get the fluid in your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get medical care. The battery fluid can cause injury to your eyes if you do not do this.

WARNING

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

Do not continue to charge the battery if it does not become charged in the specified charging time. If you continue to charge the battery, it can become hot and cause an explosion or ignition. Injury to persons can occur.

WARNING

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

Only use the correct equipment to remove the electrical power from the battery. If you do not use the correct equipment, you can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery. If you do not use the correct equipment, an incorrect flow of current to the battery can occur. This can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion. Injury to persons can occur.

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

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

Only use a specified battery charger when you charge the battery. Damage to the battery can occur if you do not do this.

CAUTION

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

Only use a specified battery for the camera. Damage to the camera and the battery can occur if you do not do this.

CAUTION

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

The temperature range through which you can charge the battery is ±0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113°F), except for the Korean market where the approved range is +10°C to + 45°C (+50°F to +113°F). If you charge the battery at temperatures out of this range, it can cause the battery to become hot or to break. It can also decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery.

CAUTION

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

The temperature range through which you can remove the electrical power from the battery is -15°C to +50°C (+5°F to +122°F), unless other information is specified in the user documentation or technical data. If you operate the battery out of this temperature range, it can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the battery.

CAUTION

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

When the battery is worn, apply insulation to the terminals with adhesive tape or equivalent materials before you discard it. Damage to the battery and injury to persons can occur if you do not do this.

CAUTION

Applicability Cameras with one or more batteries.

:

Remove any water or moisture on the battery before you install it. Damage to the battery can occur if you do not do this.

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.

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.

5	Quick start guide

5.1Procedure

Follow this procedure:

1.Before starting the camera for the first time, charge the battery for 3 hours using the stand-alone battery charger.

2.Put the battery into the camera battery compartment.

3.Insert a memory card into the card slot.

Note Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another type of camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card. There is therefore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different types of cameras.

4.Push the on/off button to turn on the camera.

5.Aim the camera toward the object of interest.

6.Adjust the infrared camera focus.

Note It is very important to adjust the focus correctly. Incorrect focus adjustment affects how the image modes work. It also affects the temperature measurement.

7.Push the Save button to save an image.

8.Download and install FLIR Tools/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio on your computer.1

9.Start FLIR Tools/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio.

10.Connect the camera to the computer using the USB cable.

11.Import the images into FLIR Tools/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio and create an inspection report.

12.Send the inspection report to your client.

5.2To keep in mind

•Adjust the focus first. When the camera is out of focus, the measurement will be wrong.

•By default, most cameras adapt the scale automatically. Use this mode first, but do not hesitate to set the scale manually.

•A thermal camera has a resolution limit. This depends on the size of the detector, the lens, and the distance to the target. Use the center of the spot tool as a guide to the minimum possible object size, and get closer if necessary. Make sure to stay away from dangerous areas and live electrical components.

•Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the target. Be observant of reflections, especially at low emissivities—you, the camera, or the surroundings may become the main source of reflection.

•Select a zone of high emissivity, e.g., an area with a matte surface, to perform a measurement.

•Blank objects, i.e., those with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the camera, because they mainly reflect the environment.

•Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.

•Various types of faults, e.g., those in a building’s construction, may result in the same type of thermal pattern.

•Correctly analyzing an infrared image requires professional knowledge about the application.

8	A note about ergonomics

8.1General

To prevent strain-related injuries, it is important that you hold the camera ergonomically correctly. This section gives advice and examples on how to hold the camera.

Note

•Always tilt the LCD screen to suit your work position.

•When you hold the camera, make sure that you support the optics housing with your left hand too. This decreases the strain on your right hand.
