Thermal Imaging Camera

Turning the Camera OFF

To turn the camera OFF, press and hold the green POWER
button in for four seconds.
As a safety feature to avoid inadvertent power-OFFs, the
green POWER button must be held for four seconds to turn
OFF the camera.
The green STATUS LED flashes during the power-off
countdown to confirm effective button press.
When all LED indicators shut OFF, the user may release the
green POWER button.
The camera is now OFF.

User Interface-Indicators and Warnings

The EVOLUTION 5000 TIC comes standard with five LED
Indicators to show - System Status, Battery Life and
Overtemp status. When the TIC is turned OFF, all LEDs are
OFF. Also, the TIC has on-screen indicators for low sensitivity,
shutter and quick-temp (Fig. 4).

On-Screen Indicators

A Low sensitivity fire fighting mode indicator
B Shutter indicator
C Optional Quick - Temp Indicator and Digital Temperature
Measurement
A – Low Sensitivity Mode Indicator
An on-screen sensitivity indicator ("L") informs the user when
the camera is in the low sensitivity (Fire fighting) mode.
This mode occurs when the thermal imager senses an
environment above 150 °C.
Dynamic Range is extended while in this mode to provide
greater image details of the surroundings.
In high-heat conditions, the TIC will automatically enter the
Low Sensitivity (or Fire fighting) mode. While in Low Sensitivity
mode, the TIC's dynamic range is extended, thereby allowing
the user to make better distinction of objects and people
within a higher temperature range. When the EVOLUTION
5000 TIC is in Low Sensitivity mode, the letter "L" appears in
the lower left corner of the display.
B – Shutter Indicator
An on-screen indicator that tells the user when the TIC shutter
is operating and appears as a white square in the upper left
corner of the display.
While the TIC is in operation, it is necessary for the TIC to
refresh the focal plane array for normal operation. This occurs
via an internal shutter mechanism. When the TIC shutter
operates, the image on the display temporarily freezes for
about one second.
higher heat conditions. This is normal for all microbolometer -
based TICs.

can occur more frequently in
C - Optional Quick-Temp Indicator
On-screen operating Quick Temp spotter and vertical bar
gauge spans temperatures from 0 °C (32 °F) to 150 °C (300 °F)
in High Sensitivity mode and 0 °C (32 °F) to 500 °C (1000 °F) in
Low Sensitivity mode for objects located in the spotter.
The digital temperature feature displays the approximate
numeric value of the temperature of objects located in the
spotter.

LED Indicators

D Over-Temperature Warning
E System Status Indicator
F Battery Status Indicators
D – Over Temperature Warning
Warning activates when the system electronics approach
maximum recommended operating temperature limits.
Not lit indicates system is within operational thermal
limits.
Flashing Red indicates the TIC has exceeded
recommended operational thermal limits.
Warning! Most electronic devices will cease to operate at
certain high temperature extremes. Tests on the EVOLUTION
5000 TIC indicate that it will provide an acceptable image
when subjected to an ambient temperature of approximately
120°C (248°F) for about 10 minutes. Exposure to conditions
exceeding these will result in deterioration and loss of
image.
