To register the camera, go to http://support.flir.com/camreg. To access the registration form, you must log in to your FLIR account or sign up for a new account. You will also need the serial number of your camera. A label with the serial number is available at the bottom of the camera.
Introduction The FLIR Si1-LD is a powerful yet cost-effective acoustic imaging camera designed for easy and accurate compressed air leak detection. Lightweight and operable with one hand, it requires minimal training and provides instant decision support in the field. Fea- turing market-leading sensitivity and detection range, the FLIR Si1-LD incorporates ad- vanced AI for superior performance and data accuracy .
To enable upload, you must connect the camera to the internet and pair the camera with the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Use a computer or other device with internet access and follow the in- structions on the camera screen.
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.
An animated upload progress spinner in the circled area indicates that files are being up- loaded to the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Snapshots are automatically removed from the camera, after they have been uploaded to the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service or exported to a USB memory stick.
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 7.2.5 Low battery warning The battery indicator in the camera live view UI turns red to indicate insufficient battery charge and the battery icon start to flash. The color code in the UI displayed in the battery changes from green (full battery), or- ange to red (low battery).
6. To save the video, tap Save. 7.6.1 Scanning a QR code A QR code is a type of matrix barcode that contains information readable by the FLIR Si1-LD camera. Some companies assign QR codes to identify assets. The information in these QR codes can be stored in the camera field, such as the label.
Tap the Zoom button to cycle through the available zoom options: 1x, 2x, and 8x. 7.9 File transfer Snapshot and video files from the camera can be imported to the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or opened in FLIR Thermal Studio for further analysis and reporting.
For leak detection, the filter selection can help to start inspections quickly, especially in noisy environments. The Si1-LD offers a single filter, the High filter (20 to 65 kHz), which effectively filters out most background noise while maintaining a good detection distance.
Locating sound sources The Frequency view displays the spectrum of the sound and ultrasound in the environ- ment as detected by the microphone array. The camera can sense frequencies from 2 kHz up to either 100 kHz. The view shows two different frequency spectrums: •...
8.6 Save and analyze sounds It is often useful to take snapshots and record videos of interesting sound sources from different angles. Snapshots and videos can be further analyzed in the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or in FLIR Thermal Studio.
When capturing several snapshots from different angles, use the one that displays the highest SPL levels. This will facilitate further analysis. By adjusting the dynamic range in FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or FLIR Thermal Studio. Move the slide bar to increase or decrease the SPL value. This will make it possible to make the sound sources more or less prominent for reporting and representation.
5. You can take snapshots and videos of the detected leak for further inspection and re- porting in the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or FLIR Thermal Studio. 9.2 Leak analysis results The camera displays the following analysis results in the Leak mode: •...
When you take a snapshot of a detected leak, the camera saves also the current leak analysis parameters settings. This means you can edit the parameters later using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or FLIR Thermal Studio. • Leak unit The unit to use for the displayed leak size.
• Leak type FLIR Si1-LD supports leak size estimation for air leaks, considering the energy, vol- ume, or mass cost parameters to estimate the leak cost. Select "Other" from the leak type drop-down menu in the leak mode settings to disable leak size and cost estimations.
• Connect the camera to a Wi-Fi network. For more information, see section 11.3 Con- nect the camera to the internet. • Pair the camera with the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer. For more information, see section 11.4 Pairing. • When the camera is connected to Wi-Fi, the IP address and SSID of the network is displayed.
With the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer you can perform further analysis of detected leaks, partial discharges, and mechanical faults, and also generate inspection reports. To use the cloud service, you must create a FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer account and pair the camera with the account.
