Page 3: Precautions
DC +24V（±1V） AC 110V-240V, 50-60 Hz, power rate≥50W • You will use PC, monitor, power and etc with IR136 Thermal Camera, so it is highly recommended to connect all the electric systems with ground • It is highly recommended to use IR136 Thermal Camera statically although it is static protected. - Page 4 The IR136 Thermal Camera does not incorporate any user serviceable parts. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the camera. Opening the unit invalidates the warranty • Do not loose the bolts on the bottom of the camera, to avoid any effect on the detection and image.

Page 9: Annotation
Annotation 1. NUC (non-uniformity correction) Because of special technic, a thermal camera without NUC will get the 4-1a image when shooting at a target with uniform temperature. The spots in the image are called “bad pixels”, and the shade (with uneven brightness) is generally called “ghost”. Both of them will affect detection especially when detecting a long range target. - Page 10 correction, you can change the relative value. We will call the value “bad pixels threshold”. 3. Calibration Calibration is an operation to obtain the original data for NUC. For camera, calibration is actually an algorithm after taking a uniform target image. In work site, the uniform target can be clear sky, the built-in shutter, or the closed lens cover;...

Camera. For more detailed instructions, please refer to followed contents after this chapter. 1、 Fix IR136 camera body firmly according to field conditions. It i s necessary operation when using IR136 camera for the first time or changing its working place. -
Page 15: Basic Functions
When turning on next time, these parameters will be used. 1. Brightness adjustment IR136 Thermal Camera also has auto brightness and auto contrast function. Press “A” to switch betw een manual, auto brightness and auto contrast modes. Adjusting results will be displayed in bottom parameter bar (refer to fig 7-1) When A=2, image brightness and contrast will be auto adjusted by system. - Page 16 Fig. 7-1 Polarity Brightness Camera M Zoom Contrast Fig 7-1 FOV switchover and electronic zoom in Image zoom can be switched between 1x, 2x, 4 x and 8x by changing its FOV and carrying out electronic zoom. FOV switchover and electronic zoom both are used for deflating or magnifying the image.
- Page 17 “SHIFT” and then “N” to adjust nearfocus. If keeping pressing “SHIFT” & “F” or “SHIFT” & “N”, IR136 Thermal Camera will adjust far or near focus continuously. Information bar on bottom of image will display “FAR” or “NEAR” to indicate current focusing operation.

Page 21: Quick Trouble Shooting
Quick Trouble Shooting This chapter includes: How to clear up “Ghost”? How to correct bad pixels? How to save data and restore misoperation in the field? 1. Clear up “Ghost” Self-check and cooling process will last for about 5~8 minutes after powering on the camera. When it finishes, after 30 seconds, the camera will switch between two FOVs and perform auto 1-point calibration separately. - Page 22 cross should be a bright spot (please note, not all bright spots are bad pixels). You can change the Bad Pixel Threshold by “B+” and “B-“, and also you can use the default value. Then system will search a bright spot with the set Bad Pixel Threshold, you should judge if it is a bad pixel by moving the camera.
- Page 23 3. Save and restore data Two keys will be used for saving or restoring data: SB1 and LB1 SB1: Save B1 (both NFOV & WFOV) in SDRAM into FLASH (save data) LB1: Load B1 (both NFOV & WFOV) in FLASH to SDRAM (restore data)
