Introduction
This publication provides the necessary information required to safely operate the
EASIR
TM
-4/ EASIRTM-2/ EASIRTM-1 Thermal Camera.
It is important to fully check all equipment with which you have been supplied.
The equipment should be used, maintained and serviced by suitably trained personnel,
capable of carefully following the procedures and guidelines given in this User Manual.
All User Manuals and leaflets should be read thoroughly before proceeding with operation
of the equipment.
It is also advisable that all User Manuals and Instruction Leaflets supplied are kept readily
available, for reference when the equipment is in general use.
Precautions
The following precautions must be adhered to at all times and must be considered in
addition to any advised precautions issued at the relevant worksite or work area.
• Keep the EASIR
TM
-4/ EASIRTM-2/ EASIRTM-1 Thermal Camera steady during
operation.
• Do not use the EASIRTM-4/ EASIRTM-2/ EASIRTM-1 Thermal Camera in
temperature exceeding its working and storage temperature ranges.
• Do not direct the EASIRTM-4/ EASIRTM-2/ EASIRTM-1 Thermal Camera at very high
intensity radiation sources such as the sun, carbon dioxide lasers or arc welders
etc.
• Do not expose the EASIR
TM
-4/ EASIRTM-2/EASIRTM-1 Thermal Camera to dust
and moisture. When operating the unit near water, ensure that the unit is
adequately guarded against splashes.
• When the EASIR
TM
-4/ EASIRTM-2/EASIRTM-1Thermal Camera is not in use or is to
be transported, ensure that the unit and its accessories are stored in the protective
carry case.
• Do not jam the holes or loudspeaker on the camera body.
• Do not re-switch on the camera until 15 seconds later after switching it off.
• Do not throw, knock or vibrate intensely the camera and its components in order to
keep them from damage.
• Do not attempt to open the camera body, as this action will void the warranty.
• Keep the SD memory card for the exclusive use of the camera.
• During using, if move the IR camera from hot/cold place to cold/hot place, e.g.
from inside/outside to outside/inside of a air-conditioned car in winter, should
power off the camera firstly and leave it in the operation site for 20 minutes, then
power on the camera for normal operation and accurate temperature
measurement. Sharp and instant ambient temperature change may cause fault
temperature measurement and even damage camera’s IR detector.

• FPA setting: to ensure accurate temperature measurement, the FPA detector was
calibrated in different temperature points--7degree, 17degree, 27degree,
37degree. When power on the camera in 0 degree for example, after period of
working the temperature of the camera (the detector) will increase gradually. And
when the internal temperature of the camera beyond 7 degree, FPA setting will
take place and will last for about 30sec, and during the FPA setting the camera will
not response for any operations. If power on the camera in a temperature about 8
degree, only when the temperature of the camera beyond 17degree, this
phenomenon will happen again. Camera will adjust FPA setting itself
automatically to ensure its stable performance.
Maintenance
To ensure that the EASIRTM-4/ EASIRTM-2// EASIRTM-1 Thermal Camera is kept in good
working condition and remains fully operational, the following guidelines should be
adhered to at all times.
Non-optical surfaces
The non-optical surfaces of the camera can be cleaned when required, with a soft cloth
dampened with water and a mild detergent.
Optical surfaces
The lens of an IR camera is very expensive. Replacement or repair may be thousands of
dollars. The anti-reflective coating on the surface of the lens is the most expensive part of
the lens assembly (and is also critical to the radiometric capabilities of the system).
The optical surface should only be cleaned when visibly dirty. Care should be taken to
avoid oil, chemical dirt and touching the exposed lens surface, as skin acid left behind from
fingerprints can be damaging to coatings and lens substrates. After using the imager,
please close the lens cover.
Do not use dilution to clean the imager and its accessories, especially the optics. Use clean
soft dry tissue to clean the imager body, and the supplied lens cleaning tissue for lens.
Calibration and Repair Philosophy
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the EASIRTM-4/ EASIRTM-2/EASIRTM-1 Thermal
Camera, it is highly recommended that the instrument be calibrated at 12 monthly
intervals.
Calibration or repair for the instrument can be obtained by either contacting the address/
telephone number on the cover of this User Manual, or by email to the following
address: overseas@guide-infrared.com
Caution
User Manual
