For most navigation needs, the ThermoVision Mariner pan/tilt head will face forward, and won’t be adjusted very often. But for some applications, such as sport fishing, law enforcement, surveillance, or fire fighting, extra consideration should be given to placement based on the application and deck layouts.

® Caring for your new ThermoVision Mariner 4.1 Troubleshooting Caution! Do not open the camera body for any reason. Disassembly of the camera (including removal of the cover) can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty. If the camera will not produce an image or will not respond to JCU inputs, check the fuses in the JCU by removing the fuse covers. -
Page 22: Replacing The Fuses
Caution! Replace system fuses with the same value and type provided at the time of purchase. Using fuse values other than the ones supplied by FLIR may cause permanent damage to the unit and will void the warranty. To replace the Joystick control unit fuses, remove the covers and replace those using 2 Ampere automotive fuses. -
Page 23: Cleaning
The camera housing has a durable marine coating. Rinse the camera housing with very low pressure fresh water to keep it clean. If the front window of the Mariner gets water spots, wipe it with a clean lens tissue folded in fourths dampened with fresh water. -

Page 35: Infrared Technology
Infrared Technology History of Infrared Less than 200 years ago the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected. The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the infrared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800. - Page 36 8 – Infrared Technology As the blackened thermometer was moved slowly along the colors of the spectrum, the temperature readings showed a steady increase from the violet end to the red end. This was not entirely unexpected, since the Italian researcher, Landriani, in a similar experiment in 1777 had observed much the same effect.
- Page 37 8 – Infrared Technology true only until 1830, when the Italian investigator, Melloni, made his great discovery that naturally occurring rock salt (NaCl)—which was available in large enough natural crystals to be made into lenses and prisms—is remarkably transparent to the infrared. The result was that rock salt became the principal infrared optical material, and remained so for the next hundred years, until the art of synthetic crystal growing was mastered in the 1930’s.
- Page 38 8 – Infrared Technology Figure 8-4: Samuel P. Langley (1834–1906) The improvement of infrared-detector sensitivity progressed slowly. Another major breakthrough, made by Langley in 1880, was the invention of the bolometer. This consisted of a thin blackened strip of platinum connected in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge circuit upon which the infrared radiation was focused and to which a sensitive galvanometer responded.
- Page 39 8 – Infrared Technology converter and the photon detector. At first, the image converter received the greatest attention by the military, because it enabled an observer for the first time in history to literally ‘see in the dark’. However, the sensitivity of the image converter was limited to the near infrared wavelengths, and the most interesting military targets (i.e.

Page 40: How Do Infrared Cameras Work
8 – Infrared Technology 8.2 How do Infrared Cameras Work? Infrared energy is part of a complete range of radiation called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves (RADAR), and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency. - Page 41 Several detector ® technologies exist; the sensor in the ThermoVision Mariner is of the latest solid state design, offering long life and fully automatic image optimization (contrast and gain). True thermal imagers should not be confused with infrared illuminator cameras that are often presented as simply “infrared cameras.”...
