1 Warnings & cautions
10474103;1
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and
■
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the
user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
required to correct the interference.
An infrared camera is a precision instrument and uses a very sensitive IR detector.
■
Pointing the camera towards highly intensive energy sources – such as devices
emitting laser radiation, or reflections from such devices – may affect the accu-
racy of the camera readings, or even harm – or irreparably damage – the detec-
tor. Note that this sensitivity is also present when the camera is switched off
and the lens cap is mounted on the lens.
Each camera from FLIR Systems AB is calibrated prior to shipping. It is advisable
■
that the camera is sent in for calibration once a year.
For protective reasons, the LCD (where applicable) will be switched off if the
■
detector temperature exceeds +60 °C (+149 °F) and the camera will be switched
off if the detector temperature exceeds +68 °C (+154.4 °F).
The camera requires a warm-up time of 5 minutes before accurate measure-
■
ments (where applicable) can be expected.
