The temperature range through which you can charge the battery is ±0°C to
■
+45°C (+32°F to +113°F), unless specified otherwise in the user documenta-
tion. If you charge the battery at temperatures out of this range, it can cause
the battery to become hot or to break. It can also decrease the performance
or the life cycle of the battery.
The temperature range through which you can discharge the battery is −15°C
■
to +50°C (+5°F to +122°F), unless specified otherwise in the user documen-
tation. Use of the battery out of this temperature range can decrease the per-
formance or the life cycle of the battery.
When the battery is worn, apply insulation to the terminals with adhesive tape
■
or similar materials before you discard it.
Remove any water or moisture on the battery before you install it.
■
Do not apply solvents or similar liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items.
This can cause damage.
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has a delicate anti-reflective
coating.
Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously. This can damage the anti-reflective
coating.
In furnace and other high-temperature applications, you must mount a heatshield
on the camera. Using the camera in furnace and other high-temperature applica-
tions without a heatshield can cause damage to the camera.
(Applies only to cameras with an automatic shutter that can be disabled.) Do not
disable the automatic shutter in the camera for a prolonged time period (typically
max. 30 minutes). Disabling the shutter for a longer time period may harm, or ir-
reparably damage, the detector.
The encapsulation rating is valid only when all openings on the camera are sealed
with their designated covers, hatches, or caps. This includes, but is not limited
to, compartments for data storage, batteries, and connectors.
(Applies only to FLIR A3xx f/A3xx pt series cameras.)
Except as described in this manual, do not open the FLIR A3xx pt/A3xx f series
■
camera for any reason. Disassembly of the camera (including removal of the
cover) can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty.
Do not to leave fingerprints on the FLIR A3xx pt/A3xx f series camera's infrared
■
optics.
The FLIR A3xx pt/A3xx f series camera requires a power supply of 24 VDC.
■
Operating the camera outside of the specified input voltage range or the
specified operating temperature range can cause permanent damage.
When lifting the FLIR A3xx pt series camera use the camera body and base,
■
not the tubes.
(Applies only to FLIR GF309 cameras.) CAUTION: The exceptionally wide temper-
ature range of the FLIR GF309 infrared camera is designed for performing highly
accurate electrical and mechanical inspections and can also "see through flames"
for inspecting gas-fired furnaces, chemical heaters and coal-fired boilers. IN ORDER
TO DERIVE ACCURATE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS IN THESE ENVIRON-
MENTS THE GF309 OPERATOR MUST HAVE A STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF
RADIOMETRIC FUNDAMENTALS AS WELL AS THE PRODUCTS AND CONDI-
TIONS OF COMBUSTION THAT IMPACT REMOTE TEMPERATURE MEASURE-
MENT. The Infrared Training Center (itc) offers a wide range of world class infrared
