Safety measures which must be observed:
Observe the appropriate country-specific safety measures for users of laser class 3R equipment.
Laser class 3R laser equipment is potentially hazardous to eyes. Use of operating and adjust-
ment equipment and procedures other than those indicated here can lead to dangerous expo-
sure to radiation. Modification of the laser equipment is not permitted. This Operating Manual
must be retained and passed to the next owner of the laser equipment.
Personal safety precautions:
This laser equipment may only be used by properly trained persons. Do not aim the laser beam
at people. If the laser beam falls directly on your eye, consciously close your eyes and move your
head out of the beam immediately. Do not look into the direct or reflected beam. Do not aim the
laser beam at people. Persons under 18 years of age must not use this equipment.
Safety measures to be applied in areas where the equipment is used:
Ensure that no-one can look directly into the laser beam:
Avoid accidental reflections, for example by covering or removing reflective surfaces in the
-
vicinity of the laser equipment
Position / align the laser beam well away from eye height
-
Restrict the laser beam to the area where it is to be used, for example by screening with non-
-
reflective surfaces
When not in use, store the laser equipment so that it cannot be accessed by unauthorised
-
persons
NOTE: if installed, this feature is accessed only when the EVOLUTION 6000+ TIC or 
EVOLUTION 6000X TIC is in the NFPA Plus mode.
The integral range finder is a laser-based distance measuring tool that can be used to assist fire-
fighters in estimating a distance from the camera to a stationary target.
The distance may be displayed in feet or meters.
Depending on conditions and ambient light intensity:
Minimum distance measurement is approximately 15 feet (5 meters)
-
Maximum distance measurement is approximately 210 feet (70 meters).
-
(1) To take a distance measurement, pull and hold the trigger and aim the red, visible laser at
the object to be measured.
(2) Release the trigger to signal the camera to take the distance measurement.
The distance from the camera to the object displays in feet or meters, depending on the cam-
-
era setup.
"ERROR" displays if a valid reading cannot be displayed.
-
As long as the previous distance measurement remains on the display, every quick pull and
-
release of the trigger will provide a rapid measurement update
"<15 ft" ("<5 m") will be displayed if measured distance is too short.
