operator the ability to detect
possible hazards such as hot gas
bottles or tanks. The camera can be configured to give a reading in 8C or 8F
by using the user software (see section 5).
Scene temperatures between 0 8C (32 8F) and 500 8C (932 8F) can be
.
displayed. If the temperature lies outside this range a 4 or 5 symbol
appears before the reading indicating that it is outside the possible range.
Note: If the object in the scene does not fully fill the sample window, then a false
reading may be obtained. Care should be taken not to cover up the sensor
window (with a hand for example) when using this system.
