    Navigator II isolated it from vessel power with a customer-supplied switch or circuit breaker tied-on to your vessel’s power bus. Before you turn on the Navigator II, make sure that this switch or circuit breaker is turned on, then turn on your display, and select the Navigator II as the video source for your display.

    The Navigator II detects differences in heat and displays them as black and white TV video. It may look like a black and white version of what your eyes see, but it’s not. The Navigator II sees heat, not light. The sooner you can understand and get comfortable with that difference, the more you will enjoy this incredible technology.

    Weather Environmental conditions, including time of day, humidity, and precipitation, will affect image quality and contrast. Fog, smog and rain will decrease the range at which you can detect a given target. After sunset, objects warmed by the sun during the day will radiate their stored heat for several hours. Early in the morning, many of these objects will appear cooler than their surroundings, so be sure to look for subtle temperature differences in the scene, not just hot (white) targets.

    In fact, you can get years of enjoyable, productive use out of your Navigator II without knowing anything in this section. But, if you would like to learn more about thermal imaging –...
  • Page 21 The amount of radiated thermal energy that reaches the Navigator II imager is a function of the viewed object’s temperature and emissivity. This relationship between temperature and emissivity can be a complex one, but we’ll sum it up with two basic rules: 1) The hotter an object gets, the more infrared energy it radiates.
  • Page 22 “see through” much of anything, except some plastics and nylon materials. As you look at the thermal images created with your Navigator II, you will see multiple sources of thermal energy in addition to your main object of interest.
  • Page 23 Therefore, the time of day during which your Navigator II is used can have a direct impact on your ability to detect and recognize objects.
  • Page 24 The weather can impact more than just the range at which the Navigator II can detect a specific object – it can also affect an entire scene’s thermal contrast and affect overall system performance.
