Annual calibration of any thermal camera is recommended. Contact customer service to schedule maintenance. Accuracy of Thermal Devices For very accurate results, ICI recommends waiting a minimum of 5 minutes after starting a thermal camera before measuring a temperature. Cybersecurity After the products are connected to the Internet, they may face risks including but not limited to network attacks, hacker attacks, virus infections, etc.
GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL Intended Use The GC-76 core is specially designed to quickly, accurately, and safely detect and locate gas leaks - without system downtime. Temperature measurement up to 120°C (248°F) meets the requirements of industrial settings and is ideal for petroleum, chemical, natural gas, and electric power applications.
GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL Safety Information • Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1 This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2 this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL Digital Video Digital Video 6-1-1 LVCMOS LVCMOS digital video can be enabled/disabled with control commands. In the open state, users can choose to output raw data (ORG), non-uniform correction (NUC) data, DNS Data, temperature (TEMP) data, and image processing (DRC) data.
GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL 6-1-2 LVDS LVDS digital video includes one clock signal (LVDS_CLK) and 4 data signals (LVDS_DATA1, LVDS_DATA2, LVDS_DATA3 and LVDS_DATA4) which can be easily analyzed by the domestic mainstream video coding/decoding chip. LVDS digital video can be enabled/disabled by control commands. When it is enabled, the output of ORG data, NUC data, DRC data, DNS data, and TEMP data can be selected.
GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL 6-1-3 BT.656 BT.656 digital video includes 1 Clock signal (Clock) and 8 data signals (dv0-dv7). BT.656 digital video supports all functions including brightness/contrast adjustment, polarity selection, palette selection, reticle control, digital zoom, and image flipping functions.

GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL 6-1-5 BT.1120 BT.1120 digital video outputs signals line by line. It includes clock signals (Clock), frame valid signal, line valid signal, and 16 data signals (DV0 - DV15). As shown: When BT.1120 digital video is selected, the digital zoom and temperature display functions are not available.
GC-76 GAS LEAK DETECTION CORE USER MANUAL Protocols MIPI Protocol The GC-76 core uses 4-lane MIPI which includes 1 pair of source-synchronized clocks (MIPI_CLK+, MIPI_CLK-), and 4 pairs of data lines (MIPI_DATA0+, MIPI_ DATA0-, MIPI_DATA1+, MIPI_DATA1-, MIPI_DATA2+, MIPI_DATA2-, MIPI_DATA3+, MIPI_DATA3-). The data format and electrical specifications conform to CSI-2 and D-PHY Protocols.
