Important notes
• You can control the thermal camera using your
multifunctional display. The Joystick Control Unit
(JCU) is optional, but can be used in conjunction
with the multifunctional display to control the
thermal camera if required.
• "Dual payload" thermal cameras include 2
independent lenses; 1 for thermal (infrared) and
1 for visible light. If you only have 1 display you
should only connect the video cable labelled "VIS
/ IR" (visible light / infrared) to the display. If you
have 2 or more displays you should connect 1
cable to each display.
• You can only view the thermal camera image on
the multifunction display to which the camera is
5
physically connected. If you want to view the
D12840-1
thermal camera image on more than 1 display you
must obtain a suitable third-party video distribution
unit.
• For further information regarding the camera's
installation (including connections and mounting),
refer to the installation instructions that accompany
the camera.
