10.5.4.2.2 Black and white firefighting mode
Figure 10.2 Black and white firefighting mode.
The black and white firefighting mode is a standardized firefighting mode based on the Ba-
sic mode. It is a multipurpose mode for the initial fire intervention that includes life rescuing
operations and control of the fire. It is specifically designed for fire services that do not
want to use the heat colorization feature.
The camera automatically switches between the high-sensitivity range and the low-sensi-
tivity range, to maintain an optimal infrared image.
• Automatic range.
• High-sensitivity range: –20 to +150°C (–4 to +302°F).
• Low-sensitivity range: 0 to +500°C (+32 to +932°F).
10.5.4.2.3 Fire mode
Figure 10.3 Fire mode.
The fire mode is similar to the Basic mode, but with a higher-temperature starting point for
the heat colorization. It is suitable for fire scenes with higher background temperatures,
where there are already a lot of open flames and a high background temperature. The
camera automatically switches between the high-sensitivity range and the low-sensitivity
range, to maintain an optimal infrared image while at the same time maintaining a safe
and consistent heat colorization.
• Automatic range.
