Warnings & Cautions
• In furnace and other high-temperature applications, you must mount a heatshield on
the camera. Using the camera in furnace and other high-temperature applications
without a heatshield can cause damage to the camera.
• (Applies only to cameras with an automatic shutter that can be disabled.) Do not dis-
able the automatic shutter in the camera for a prolonged time period (typically max.
30 minutes). Disabling the shutter for a longer time period may harm, or irreparably
damage, the detector.
• The encapsulation rating is valid only when all openings on the camera are sealed
with their designated covers, hatches, or caps. This includes, but is not limited to,
compartments for data storage, batteries, and connectors.
• (Applies only to Flir A3xx f/A3xx pt series cameras.)
• Except as described in this manual, do not open the Flir A3xx pt/A3xx f series cam-
era for any reason. Disassembly of the camera (including removal of the cover)
can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty.
• Do not to leave fingerprints on the Flir A3xx pt/A3xx f series camera's infrared
optics.
• The Flir A3xx pt/A3xx f series camera requires a power supply of 24 VDC. Operat-
ing the camera outside of the specified input voltage range or the specified operat-
ing temperature range can cause permanent damage.
• When lifting the Flir A3xx pt series camera use the camera body and base, not the
tubes.
• (Applies only to Flir GF309 cameras.) CAUTION: The exceptionally wide temperature
range of the Flir GF309 infrared camera is designed for performing highly accurate
electrical and mechanical inspections and can also "see through flames" for inspect-
ing gas-fired furnaces, chemical heaters and coal-fired boilers. IN ORDER TO DE-
RIVE ACCURATE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS IN THESE ENVIRONMENTS
THE GF309 OPERATOR MUST HAVE A STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF RADIO-
METRIC FUNDAMENTALS AS WELL AS THE PRODUCTS AND CONDITIONS OF
COMBUSTION THAT IMPACT REMOTE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT. The In-
frared Training Center (itc) offers a wide range of world class infrared training for ther-
mography professionals including GF309 operators. For more information about
obtaining the training and certification you require, contact your Flir sales representa-
tive or itc at www.infraredtraining.com.
