3.4 ICETM – Intellige n t C ontrast Enhan cement
ICETM* (Intelligent Contrast Enhancement) is a p atented innovation from ISG INFRASYS. This technology operates to automatically enhance background cont rast when viewing ex tremely ho t objects. This improves visibility for t he user as hot objects and cooler surroundings are clearly visible simultaneously. The extra information is vital when viewing extreme temperatures in Thousand-Plus Mode and increases the effectiveness of firefig hting, whilst enhancing safety for the firefighter.
The adjacent image captured in Thousand-Plus Mode illustrates how ICE

Sensitivity Mo des
The ICETM system thermal imager incorporates two distinct sensitivity modes and selects the appropriate mode automatically by analysing the thermal characteristics of the scene.
Normal Mode
‘Normal Mode’ is automatically selected when viewing low to medium ambient temperature scenes and/or when there is little burning material in the scene.
In this mode the thermal imager’s sensitivity is optimised to maximise the clarity of the lower­temperature parts of the scene, enabling cryst al-clear imaging of the ambient scene as well as displaying small, localised hotspots up to 500
o
C without
saturation.
Thousand-Plus Mode
‘Thousand-Plus Mode’ is automatically selected when viewing extreme heat conditions, for example, in flash over situations or other extreme emergency situations where safety could be compromised.
In this mode the dynamic range is set to maximum to provide clear imaging of scene temperatures in excess of 1000 °C without saturation, designed to allow easy analysis of structures and burning materials while retaining excellent visibility of low-

temperature background detail to facilitate rapid egress.
Note
When the thermal imager switches mode, a momentary interruption of the displayed image may be experienced.
3.6 Colour Temperature Scale Indicator
The graduated scale colour palette provides a visual indication of the range of scene temperatures detected, enabling rapid recognition of hot spots.

Palette Colour Temperature Scale Indicator.
3.7 Direct Temperature Measurement (DTM)
1) Aim the cross wire dir ectl y over t he obj ect to be measured.
2) Read the temperature.
Notes
The measured temperature is based on an assumed target emissivity of 0.95.
The measurement indicated is not a measure of air temperature.
Unless specified otherwise at the time of order, the unit of measuremen t, in terms of degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit, is preset at the factory to the normal standard for the designated country.
In order to obtain a temperature measurement o f a hot object in a scene, the thermal imager may switch between different sensitivity modes, dependent on the scene conditions at the centre of the cross wire. This is complet ely normal and the thermal imager will revert to the appropriate sensiti vity mode once the hot object is removed from the scene.
