IR illuminators do not constitute any form of health hazard providing normal safety precautions are taken. The IR75W has a wavelength of 715 nm to 950 nm, depending on the filter used. It is NOT a laser and is not considered to be dangerous to the unshielded eye.
Unpack Everything Check that the items received match those listed on the packing slip. The IR75W is a modular unit, allowing you to combine different bulbs and filters to meet your specific application. Your IR75W may include any combination of the following components: •...
Installation The IR75W is weather sealed for indoor or outdoor use. However, for best performance Silent Witness recommends that the installation be done in dry conditions. Caution Do not mount the IR75W on a combustible surface. Installing the Lamp (Bulb)
Note Take care not to touch the filament glass envelope or the gold reflector as finger marks reduce lamp life. Silent Witness recommends that you wear cloth gloves when working with the lamp. Center the front ring over the lamp and turn it clockwise until it is finger tight, then turn it another 1/4 turn to tighten the ring securely.
After the lamp is correctly assembled, it is ready for reuse. Understanding Reflectance Distances that you can expect to achieve using the IR75W depend on the performance of the camera’s spectral response and lenses, as well as the reflectivity of the scene. This illuminator is designed for cameras with sensitivity in the IR spectrum.
