Getting started Note Before operating the camera, you must read, understand, and follow the warnings and cautions in section 1 Safety information. 1. Fully charge the battery. 2. Remove the battery cover. 3. Align the battery and push it into the camera battery compartment. 4.
Camera parts 5.3 View from the top 1. USB port 2. On/Off button 3. Heat sinks 4. Power LED 5.4 E-label The e-label is the primary identification plate for the camera. It contains certification and compliance information and other relevant product details. The e-label is available in the camera settings: 1.
User interface 5. Mode button: Tap to cycle through the application mode options: LD (Leak detection), PD (Partial discharge), Mechanical. The available application modes depend on the camera model. 6.3 Archive indicators The number of files in the archive is displayed next to the Archive button. Two dots next to the number indicates that files are being uploaded to the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service.
Basic operation 7.1 Safety information Before operating the camera, you must read, understand, and follow the warnings and cautions in section 1 Safety information. 7.2 Battery 7.2.1 Battery cover To remove the battery cover, push the ends of the cover. Then lift the cover off the camera.
Basic operation 7.3 Battery charging CAUTION When you connect the power supply to a mains socket, select a socket that is easy to access. Should a hazardous situation occur, you must be able to easily disconnect the power supply. Note It is good practice to disconnect the power supply from the mains socket when not in use.
Basic operation 7.6 Record a video 1. To start the recording, tap the Record button. 2. To stop the recording, tap the Stop button. 3. A preview with editing options is displayed. 4. Tap Change to enter information or change a setting. 5.

Locating sound sources 8.1 Basic steps to sound location • In the Leak detection and Partial discharge modes, it is recommended to use the Auto filter. • In the Mechanical mode, it is recommended to start with the default-selected filter. Later, you can test if other filter settings are better for the current situation.
Locating sound sources 8.2.3 Change the filter setting Note In the Leak detection and Partial discharge modes, manual filter selection is dis- abled by default and no Filter button is available. Manual filter selection is enabled on the Settings menu; select Advanced settings > Filter mode = Manual. To change the filter setting, tap the Filter button repeatedly and cycle through the filter options.
Locating sound sources A sound source can be directional, meaning that the sound level differs depending on the direction. Again, it is useful to move the camera around and look at the sound source from different angles. The minimum distance between the sound source and the camera should be around 0.3 meters.
Leak detection Note The availability of the leak detection feature depends on the camera model. The camera can detect all kinds of pressurized gas leaks and vacuum leaks, by analyz- ing the sound emitted by the leak. In addition to compressed air leaks, the camera is able to detect leaks of various industrial gases.
Leak detection Note • The accuracy of the leak size and leak cost estimates depends on the correct input of the distance setting and leak analysis parameters. • The strength of the sound from a gas leak will depend on from which direction you ob- serve the leak.
Leak detection • Utilization By entering the hours, days, and/or weeks of use, you can describe how often the equipment is being used in practice. The camera will use the resultant utilization figure as a factor in leak cost calculations. 9.3.1 Set the leak analysis parameters 1.
Partial discharge detection Note The availability of the partial discharge detection feature depends on the camera model. When an electric component begins to fail, one of the first indicators is sound. This sound is caused by partial discharges, that signal the harmful flow of electricity and dete- riorate components over time.
Partial discharge detection 6.4. The camera displays the analysis results, see section 10.4 Partial discharge analysis results. 7. For more accurate results, enter the environmental temperature and relative humidity. On the Settings menu, tap Power mode settings. 8. You can take snapshots and videos of the detected partial discharge for further in- spection and reporting in the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or FLIR Thermal Studio.
Partial discharge detection 10.4.1 PRPD pattern The Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge pattern – or PRPD – is a widely used tool for anal- ysis and diagnosis of partial discharge activity. Partial discharge activity occurs due to defects in electrical components. Each “dot” in the PRPD pattern corresponds to an event caused by a discharging defect.
Mechanical fault detection Note The availability of the mechanical fault detection feature depends on the camera model. Constant wear and tear of key components in conveyor systems can lead to deteriora- tion. Bearings that are in need of lubrication or are developing faults begin to emit exces- sive noise.
Mechanical fault detection bearings in good condition. As the condition gets worse, the SPL reading is likely to in- crease further. Note Comparison should be made using the same filter and from a similar distance, otherwise the SPL values cannot be directly compared. 11.2.2 Crest factor Crest factor is the ratio between the peak amplitude and the root mean square (RMS) value of a signal.
FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer is a cloud service for acoustic snapshots and videos. Up- load snapshots and videos from your camera and your data will be instantly available on your computer and mobile devices. With the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer you can perform further analysis of detected leaks, partial discharges, and mechanical faults, and also generate inspection reports.
FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer 12.4 Pairing To pair the camera with the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer, you need the serial number of your camera and also a secret code. These details are available in the camera settings. 1. Make sure the camera is connected to the internet. 2.

FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer Note Before importing the files, ensure that the camera used for capturing the snap- shots and videos is paired with your FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer account. #T810637; r. AD/96533/96533; en-US...
FLIR Thermal Studio FLIR Thermal Studio is a powerful, flexible, and efficient Windows desktop software for advanced image post-processing and reporting. The software supports images and vid- eos from all modern FLIR thermography cameras, as well as snapshots and videos from the FLIR acoustic imaging cameras.
Camera settings To open the Settings menu, tap the Settings button. The Settings menu includes the following, depending on the camera model: • Network settings • Change mode • Time settings • Leak mode settings • Power mode settings • Advanced settings •...
Camera settings 14.5 Power mode settings • Environmental temperature: The temperature of the air can affect how sound waves propagate through the air. To obtain more accurate results, it is recommended to specify the environmental temperature. • Relative humidity: The propagation of sound is affected by the relative humidity of the environment.
Maintenance and cleaning 15.1 Clean the camera CAUTION If you do not obey these Cautions, damage to the equipment can occur. • Do not use strong cleaning solutions. • Do not expose the equipment to running or dripping water or liquid. •...
Updating the camera To take advantage of our latest camera software, it is important that you keep your cam- era updated. The camera can be updated using one of the following methods: • Over-The-Air (OTA): When connected to the internet, the camera will automatically download software updates available in the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer.
