1. GETTING STARTED
1.1. Elementary precautions
1.1.1.
Never aim the camera towards the sun or other source of intense thermal radiation
Direct exposure to sunlight or other strong thermal radiation can impair the operation of the camera and make the infrared sensor
partially or totally inoperative for as long as several months.
We therefore recommend closing the lens flap when the camera is not in use, to avoid any accidental exposure.
1.1.2.
Avoid exposing to dust with the lens flap open
Even though it is rated IP54 (dust and splash protected), it is best not to use the camera in a dusty environment: dust deposited
on the lens can not only perturb the measurements (absorption of part of the thermal flux and spurious diffusion) but also impair
the sharpness of the images.
To clean your lens, refer to § 9.2.
Cleaning the infrared optics.
1.1.3.
Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
Finger marks must be carefully avoided, because acids from the skin attack the coatings and the glass of the lens; they can leave
indelible traces. Refer to § 9.2.
Cleaning the infrared optics.
1.1.4.
Avoid jolting or dropping the camera.
The camera is rugged, but even so it is a delicate precision instrument which should not be jolted or dropped.
1.1.5.
Do not point the laser pointer at a person's eyes
The camera has a laser pointer.*
Warning!
Do not aim the laser beam towards a person's eyes, which could cause burns.
