Then lift the cover off the camera.
  • Page 17 Basic operation 7.2.5 Low battery warning The battery indicator in the camera live view UI turns red to indicate insufficient battery charge. The color code in the UI displayed in the battery changes from green (full bat- tery), orange to red (low battery). 7.3 Battery charging CAUTION When you connect the power supply to a mains socket, select a socket that is easy to access.
  • Page 18 Note • Snapshots and videos 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. • The number of files in the archive is displayed next to the Archive button.
  • Page 19 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.
  • Page 20 • It is easier to find the location of the sound source if you move the camera around and look at the source from different angles. • Analyzing snapshots and videos in the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or in FLIR Ther- mal Studio can help you find the exact location of a sound source.
  • Page 21 Locating sound sources Filters according to setting manually the lower and upper frequency limits, use in case for further inspections, enable the Frequency view by toggling the Frequency View button, see section 8.2.4 Frequency view. 8.2.3 Change the filter setting To change the filter setting, tap the Filter button repeatedly and cycle through the filter options.
  • Page 22 Locating sound sources 3. Adjusting frequency limits. • Using handles. Drag the handles at the extremes to set the frequency detection limits, the frequency range is shown at the bottom as reference and represented in kHz. The selected frequency region will appear highlighted as a rectangular area.
  • Page 23 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.

  • Page 25 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.
  • Page 26 • Leak type FLIR Si2 supports leak size estimation for different gas leaks, considering the energy, volume, 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.
  • Page 27 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.
  • Page 28 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. 9. To retrieve a PD analysis from your snapshot, tap the Archive button, select the de- sired PD snapshot, and then tap the PD Analysis button.
  • Page 29 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.
  • Page 30 7. You can take snapshots and videos of the detected faults for further inspection and reporting in the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer or FLIR Thermal Studio. 11.2 Mechanical Severity Indication (MSI)
  • Page 31 Mechanical fault detection • Once the acoustic map stabilizes, the device will indicate whether a potential mechan- ical failure is detected. The MSI detects unevenness or friction in sounds, which may indicate faults in some components but could be normal in others. Always compare results with a similar compo- nent in good condition.
  • Page 32 Mechanical fault detection The following measures typically indicate potential issues with bearings: • Sound Level Pressure - very high, especially combined with a low Crest factor • Crest factor - 6 or above • Kurtosis - 2 or above #T810637; r. AG/105330/105330; en-US...
