Introduction
This publication provides the necessary information required to safely operate the GUIDE® EASIR-9 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 GUIDE® EASIR-9 Thermal Camera steady during operation.
• Do not use the GUIDE® EASIR-9 Thermal Camera in temperature exceeding its working and storage
temperature ranges.
• Do not direct the GUIDE® EASIR-9 Thermal Camera at very high intensity radiation sources such as the sun,
carbon dioxide lasers or arc welders etc.
• Do not expose the GUIDE® EASIR-9 Thermal Camera to dust and moisture. When operating the unit near
water, ensure that the unit is adequately guarded against splashes.
• When the GUIDE® EASIR-9 Thermal 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.
Maintenance
To ensure that the GUIDE® EASIR-9 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 optical surfaces of the camera lens should only be cleaned when visibly dirty. Care should be taken to avoid
touching the exposed lens surface, as skin acid left behind from fingerprints can be damaging to coatings and lens
substrates. Use only a proprietary lens cleaning tissue.
