  • Page 4: Description

    AC adapter or up to three units may be wired together if using the 12 VDC adapter or 12 or 24 VDC source power from a vehicle. The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera is available with a black housing with a choice of outer boots in bright RED, BLACK, YELLOW, or ORANGE.
  • Page 5 The unit shall be inspected after each use. There are no user serviceable parts inside the camera except as outlined in this instruction. If any malfunction is noted, remove the unit from service and return to SCOTT Safety or an authorized SCOTT Safety Service Center for repair.

  • Page 6: Options / Accessories

    Over Temperature Protection If the core temperature of the camera reaches 160 °F / 71 °C, the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera will alert the user with a OVER TEMP warning in the upper middle of the display screen. This warning indicates that camera performance will begin to degrade and the unit may shut down until the core temperature drops below 158 °F / 70 °C.

  • Page 7: Radio Frequency Interference (Rfi)

    RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI) The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera may be susceptible to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from a two-way radio or other radio frequency source. If the image in the display screen appears distorted or unclear, it may be caused by a nearby powerful source of radio frequency or by a two-way radio in close proximity.

  • Page 8: Theory Of Operation

    THEORY OF OPERATION Thermal imaging cameras only show temperature differences between objects and not an optical image of the objects. Experience and training are required to correctly interpret the thermal image. WARNING THIS IS NOT, NOR IS IT INTENDED TO BE, AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF THE BEHAVIORS OF INFRARED ENERGY THAT DIFFER FROM VISIBLE LIGHT.
  • Page 9 Keep the lens clean while operating the thermal imaging camera. • Dirt or soot build up on the lens will obscure or reduce the clarity of the thermal image. Wipe the lens with a glove or cloth as needed. Clean the lens thoroughly after use.

  • Page 10: Battery Charging System

    BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM The EAGLE ATTACK Charging System provides a secure camera storage and recharg- ing station for the SCOTT EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera. The Charging System consists of a camera charger assembly which holds a camera with battery and has an additional bay to charge a spare battery.

  • Page 11: Battery Safety With The Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

    BATTERY SAFETY WITH THE LI-ION BATTERY PACK HANDLING • Use care when handling the lithium-ion battery pack used with the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera. • Always inspect batteries before use. The electrolyte contained within the lithium-ion cells can cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. A ruptured battery cell can vent hazardous air contaminants, including corrosive or flammable vapors.

  • Page 12: Use Of The Charging System

    USE OF THE CHARGING SYSTEM The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera may be used only with the approved Li-Ion Battery, SCOTT P/N 200848-01). The battery charger for the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera can charge two batteries at once: one installed on a camera and a second battery in the additional charging bay.
  • Page 13 To release the hold down strap, pull the strap end DOWN and AWAY from the base to unhook the pin from the two strap hooks. If the light on the charger base FLASHES RED as soon as a EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera is placed in the charger assembly, it indicates a defect in the battery.

  • Page 14: Battery Installation

    BATTERY INSTALLATION A single specially designed Rechargeable Battery Pack is used for operation of the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera. Install the battery as follows: Loosen the finger screw on the bottom of the camera handle by turning it counter- clockwise.
  • Page 15 Thread the finger screw clockwise onto the top of the battery. Turn the screw until it is snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. DO NOT USE ANY TOOL TO TIGHTEN THE FINGER SCREW. Over tightening may damage the threads or make battery changing more difficult.

  • Page 22: Thermal Video Recorder Option

    THERMAL VIDEO RECORDER OPTION The SCOTT EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Camera may be equipped with an optional built in Thermal Video Recorder (TVR). On TVR equipped cameras, the connector in the handle base next to the battery connectors is used for TVR output. See FIGURE 12.

  • Page 23: Recording Video

    SCOTT also recommends deleting the files from the camera after they have been saved to the computer so that the full capacity of video memory is available the next time the camera is used.

  • Page 24: Saving The Video Files

    THERMAL VIDEO RECORDER OPTION CONTINUED... SAVING THE VIDEO FILES SCOTT recommends that the recorded video be downloaded after each incident to assure that a back-up copy of recorded events is secured before the camera begins to record over the oldest file.

  • Page 25: Viewing Or Editing Video Files

    After saving, the files on the camera may be erased (deleted) from the camera just as any unlocked files on a computer disk drive. SCOTT recommends deleting the files from the camera after they have been saved to the computer so that the full capacity of video memory is available the next time the camera is used.

  • Page 26: Flashlight Accessory

    FLASHLIGHT ACCESSORY An external flashlight accessory is available. The STREAMLIGHT TLR-1 flashlight mounts on a rail on the top of the camera housing. The flashlight projects a beam of light in whatever direction the camera is pointed. The flashlight can be removed for independent operation.

  • Page 27: Installation Of The Charging System In A Vehicle

    INSTALLATION OF THE CHARGER SYSTEM IN A VEHICLE If you have any questions about installing the Charger assembly, consult a qualified electrician before proceeding. Choose a suitable location for the Charger Assembly where the assembly will be readily accessible but will not pose a hazard to occupants of the vehicle. Also, choose a location where the Charger Assembly will not be exposed to excess moisture.

  • Page 28: Regular Inspection

    Check all battery contacts. The contacts must be clean and undamaged. Spring loaded contacts must be straight and move without sticking. If any loose, worn, or damaged components are found, remove the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Camera from service and tag for repair by authorized personnel.
