• 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 61.
• Do not touch the filter surface when you install the lens. If this happens, clean the filter
according to the instructions in section 12.1.2 Infrared lens, page 61.

Follow the procedure below to install an infrared lens with a bayonet mount:
1. If present, remove the installed lens or the protection in front of the detector/filter
wheel.
2. Align the red index mark on the lens with the red index mark on the bayonet ring.
3. Carefully push the infrared lens into the bayonet ring.
4. Rotate the infrared lens 30° clockwise (looking at the front of the lens).
5. The camera automatically identifies the lens and selects the measurement configura-
tion corresponding to the lens, if loaded into the camera memory. For more informa-
tion, see section 6.4.4 Measurement configuration, page 22.
6.3.2.2 Removing an infrared lens

• 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 61.

4. Install the protective cap or a new optic on the camera, to avoid visible light striking
the detector.
6.3.2.3 Lens identification
FLIR X6520sc lenses with a bayonet mount have a unique identifier. The camera reads
the lens identifier and automatically selects the measurement configuration correspond-
ing to the lens, if loaded into the camera memory. For more information, see section
6.4.4 Measurement configuration, page 22.
The lens connected to the camera is displayed in ResearchIR Max and on the LCD
