Caring for your PathFindIR II

The PathFindIR II camera images through an infrared transparent window. This window is designed

for the harsh automotive environment of normal driving, but may require occasional cleaning. FLIR

Systems Inc. suggests that you clean the window of the PathFindIR II when image quality

degradation is noticed or excessive contaminant build-up is seen on the window.

The camera housing has a durable coating and the rugged protective window is designed to

withstand normal cleaning. Rinse the camera housing with low pressure fresh water to keep it clean.

If the front window of the PathFindIR II gets water spots, wipe it with a clean soft cotton cloth

dampened with fresh water. If the window requires further cleaning, use a soft moist cotton-based

cloth with isopropyl alcohol or dish soap.

Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes

as this will possibly damage the window by scratching it. Only

clean the window when you can visually see contamination on

the surface.

The Imager housing is sealed and consists of three parts, a front

part with protective window, internal imager core and rear

housing with the interface connector. The protective window is

made from an IR transparent substrate to optimize thermal

energy throughput and is automatically heated when necessary

to prevent frost or ice formation while driving. The exposed

window surface has a durable Diamond Like Coating (DLC)

coating optimized to resist abrasion.

Depending on the environment, road conditions, the window surface may eventually become visibly

degraded with pits, scratches or other marks. The window element can be replaced with a new

window relatively easily. Contact your local FLIR distributor for information about a replacement

window or other parts and accessories.

Caution! Other than replacing the protective window, do not

disassemble the camera body for any reason. Disassembly of the

camera can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty.
