  • Page 7: Introduction

    1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the X320 or X640 Thermal Imaging Camera. With its small size, rugged design, and simplicity, you can now focus on the job at hand, rather than the camera in your hand. Before using this camera, please read these instructions carefully, and retain them for future reference.
  • Page 8 The thermal imaging camera was designed to sense differing amounts of long wavelength infrared coming from the various areas of a scene and to convert them to corresponding intensities of visible light on a display. This allows true see–in–the–dark capability, as well as the ability to discern additional information—differences in temperature—by observing the thermal properties of objects in any light condition.
