Preparations

®
VarioCAM head is designed as a stationary system. A floor plate is used for fixing the camera, in which
there is a 1/4"-20 thread (photo thread according to DIN 4503) and other metric tapped holes. Depending
on equipment the VarioCAM
software packages are available for this. The corresponding cable connection to the PC must be made
first.

Using a Stand

5.1.1
The installation of VarioCAM
exposures, especially for Resolution-Enhancement-Mode. There is a 1/4"-20 photo thread (DIN 4503) for
this on the underside of the device for this.

Power Supply Connection

5.1.2
The wall power supply is connected to the 6-pole socket provided for it on the back of the camera.

Inserting a Memory Card

5.1.3
If you want to save digital thermal images on a Compact Flash card, first remove the cover for the
Compact Flash slot on the back of the camera. Then insert a (ATA-compatible) Compact Flash medium in
to the slot provided for it on the back of the camera. Please pay attention to the correct orientation of the
card. The save process is executed by means of a corresponding command via the RS232 or the
IEEE1394 interface.

Lens Replacement

5.1.4
Only perform replacement of lenses in a room as free of dust as possible. The system's IP 54 protection
class is not guaranteed for a detached lens! Place the camera on a suitable base, so that the lens is
facing you. Hold the bayonet ring with your right hand and pull the lock on the camera outwards with your
left hand. Now turn the bayonet ring anti-clockwise, so that both the red markings on the lens are side by
side and detach the lens. Now align the replacement lens, so that the red markings on the lock and the
bayonet ring are on top of each other. Then insert the lens into the camera and turn the bayonet ring
clockwise until the lock engages.
