Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the IR FlexCam® portable infrared camera (referred to
hereafter as the “Camera”). This award-winning Camera offers some of the
most advanced, yet most intuitive, fully-radiometric solutions available. The
visible light camera module (VLCM) and IR-Fusion
than ever to manage and analyze images captured with this system and
improve reporting abilities. The unique control image and IR-Fusion
technology enables you to combine visible light images—like a normal digital
camera—and infrared images together to create a single image with greatly
enhanced detail. This is especially helpful in low contrast scenes where the
temperature differential is minimal and the infrared image appears to be all one
color.
The IR FlexCam is available in 7models. The TiR2, Ti40 and Ti45 cameras
use a detector with 160 x 120 resolution. The TIR3, TiR4, Ti50 and Ti55
cameras use a detector with 320 x 240 resolution. Refer to Appendix D for
specific features available on your camera.

Introduction
Safety Information
A WCaution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the camera
or cause permanent loss of data.
1
WCaution
•To avoid damaging your Camera, treat it with care as you
would any type of precision equipment.
•Your infrared camera is a precision instrument that uses a
sensitive infrared (IR) detector. Pointing your camera
towards highly-intense energy sources—including devices
that emit laser radiation and reflections from these
devices—may adversely affect camera accuracy and may
harm or permanently damage your camera’s IR detector.
•Your camera was calibrated prior to shipping. We
recommend that you have your camera checked for proper
calibration every two years. Some ISO 9000 programs
require more frequent checks for certification. Contact
Fluke for details.
•Your camera requires three minutes to warm up before
accurate measurements are available.
*WWarning
•Your camera contains a Class 2 laser pointer. See diagram
in Appendix B for laser aperture location.
•To avoid eye damage, do not point laser directly at eye or
indirectly off reflective surfaces.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance or
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous laser radiation exposure.
•Do not use camera in a manner not specified in this
manual or the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.

Camera Overview
Introduction
Your Camera is a compact, lightweight system that offers a generous five-inch
display module you can position for optimal viewing. You can also rotate the
lens module to easily capture target images on ceilings, hidden above high
objects, under low obstacles, or in other hard-to-reach places. In addition, you
can position the camera for comfortable desktop image analysis and can mount
the system on a standard tripod to continuously monitor a single location.
Although your Camera
functions, it is easy to operate using buttons, mouse-controlled menu options,
or a combination of both.
The visible light camera module (VLCM) adds a 1.3 mega pixel visible light
sensor that improves your ability to identify and analyze thermal anomalies
and to provide visible light control images for your reports.
