thermal imaging camera
WARNING
!
Strictly observe the following notes.
Failure to comply may cause injury or death!
The thermal imaging camera is not a life-supporting device and
must therefore not be used as such.
The operating time of every battery will be reduced if used in envi-
ronments with high or very low temperatures.
The rechargeable batteries supplied with the thermal imaging
camera were selected based on certain performance criteria. To
ensure reliable operation, only use the batteries specified in the or-
der list.

General notes on the use of the thermal imaging camera

The thermal imaging camera is a complex electro-optical device
and may be subject to possible malfunctions like any other elec-
tronic system. In case of camera failure, the user will not receive
thermal images anymore. When using this thermal imaging cam-
era on tactical missions, follow the procedures that have been put
in place for operations without a thermal imaging camera.
All users must familiarize themselves with the proper function and
the performance limits of the thermal imaging camera before use.
This includes general understanding of thermal images and how
they are interpreted.
Dräger recommends Dräger Academy or third-party training, e. g.
at a firefighter school. Contact Dräger for additional information.
The thermal imaging camera may only be used by persons who
are familiar with its use and performance limits. This includes use
under simulated fire conditions (e. g. controlled fire situations).
Do not use the thermal imaging camera as the sole navigation
source. Otherwise, a malfunction of the device may cause loss of
orientation, injury or even death.
If the thermal imaging camera is exposed to high ambient
temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F) without allowing it time to cool
down, this may impair the image quality, the thermal image may be
lost or the internal components damaged.
Sufficient cooling-down time must be provided between missions
in environments with high temperatures.
The thermal imaging camera features a class 2 laser pointer
(650 nm, visible red). The laser light may be dangerous for the
eyes. Do not stare directly into the laser beam. Do not point the
laser on the head of persons! Always switch off the laser pointer
when it is not used. A laser warning symbol in the display shows
when the laser pointer is active.
