SF6 Gas Detection Mode Menu

The Imager can operate in radiometric mode or in gas detection mode. The Imager cannot
operate in both modes at the same time. When SF6 Gas Detection Mode is enabled, the
radiometric features of the Imager are disabled and cannot be selected in the menus.
Table 16 lists the options in the SF6 Gas Detection Mode menu.

Gas Detection Conditions

The Imager detects gas leaks based on:
•
The temperature difference between the gas and the background environment
•
The wind speed
•
The amount of clutter in the background scene (for example, clouds)
•
The stability of the Imager
•
The proximity of the Imager to the leak
The lower the volume of the gas leak the more challenging it is for the Imager to detect the leak.
To improve the gas detection rate, place the Imager where:
•
The temperature difference between the gas and the background environment is the greatest.
•
There is a light wind.
•
There is limited clutter in the background scene. A clear blue sky is optimal.
•
The Imager is stable. When possible, use a tripod and High Gain (Tripod) mode.
•
The Imager is close to the leak. If close proximity is not possible, use the 2X lens.
