6 Installing the camera
6.3.2.1.1 Procedure—M80 mount
Follow the procedure below to install an infrared lens with an M80 mount:
1. If present, remove the installed lens or the protection in front of the detector/filter
wheel.
2. Carefully push the infrared lens into position.
3. Rotate the infrared lens clockwise (looking at the front of the lens) until it stops.
4. You must manually select the measurement configuration using the FLIR ResearchIR
Max software. For more information, see section 6.4.4 Measurement configuration,
page 21.
6.3.2.2 Removing an infrared lens
Note
• The detector is a very sensitive sensor. It must not be directed toward strong light, e.
g., sunlight.
• Do not touch the lens surface when you install the lens. If this happens, clean the lens
according to the instructions in section 12.1.2 Infrared lens, page 60.
• Lenses can be heavy, so take care not to be surprised by their weight. Some lenses
weight several hundred grams.
• When you have removed the infrared lens, put the lens caps on the lens to protect it
from dust and fingerprints.
6.3.2.2.1 Procedure—M80 mount
Follow the procedure below to remove an infrared lens with an M80 mount:
1. Rotate the infrared lens counterclockwise (looking at the front of the lens).
2. Carefully pull out the infrared lens.
3. Install the protective cap or a new optic on the camera to avoid visible light striking
the detector.
6.3.2.3 Adjusting the camera focus
Note Do not touch the lens surface when you adjust the camera focus. If this happens,
clean the lens according to the instructions in section 12.1.2 Infrared lens, page 60.
Camera focus can be done manually by rotating the focus ring on the lens:
• For far focus, rotate the focus ring counterclockwise (looking at the front of the lens).
• For near focus, rotate the focus ring clockwise (looking at the front of the lens).
6.3.2.4 Using an extension ring
Note
• The detector is a very sensitive sensor. It must not be directed toward strong visible
light, e.g., sunlight.
• Do not touch the lens surface when you install the lens. If this happens, clean the lens
according to the instructions in section 12.1.2 Infrared lens, page 60.
• Using extension rings requires a good understanding of their radiometric effects and
the resulting measurement errors. The Infrared Training Center (ITC) offers courses
and training. For more information on any training you require, contact your FLIR sales
representative or ITC at www.infraredtraining.com.
Extension rings can be added between the camera and the infrared lens in order to
change the minimum focus distance and thus the field of view of the camera. It is possi-
ble to use more than one extension ring at the same time.
Refer to the specification sheet for your infrared lens for available extension ring sizes
and other data.
Depending on the extension ring, automatic lens identification may not function. This
means you must manually select the measurement configuration using the FLIR Re-
searchIR Max software.
