Operation
11.3.2.2 Black and white firefighting mode
Figure 11.2 Black and white firefighting mode.
The black and white firefighting mode is an NFPA standardized firefighting mode. It is a
multipurpose mode for the initial fire attack with life rescuing operation and control of the
fire. It is specifically designed for fire services that do not want to use the heat coloriza-
tion feature.
The camera automatically switches between the high-sensitivity range and the low-sen-
sitivity range, to maintain an optimal infrared image.
• Automatic range.
• High-sensitivity range: –20 to +150°C (–4 to +302°F).
• Low-sensitivity range: 0 to +650°C (+32 to +1202°F).
11.3.2.3 Fire mode
Figure 11.3 Fire mode.
The fire mode is similar to the NFPA standardized firefighting mode, but with a higher-
temperature starting point for the heat colorization. It is suitable for fire scenes with high-
er background temperatures, where there are already a lot of open flames and a high
background temperature. The camera automatically switches between the high-sensitiv-
ity range and the low-sensitivity range, to maintain an optimal infrared image while at the
same time maintaining a safe and consistent colorization of heat.
• Automatic range.
• Colorization of heat: +250 to +650°C (+ 482 to +1202°F).
• High-sensitivity range: –20 to +150°C (–4 to +302°F).
• Low-sensitivity range: 0 to +650°C (+32 to +1202°F).
