3.2 Feature
description
The thermal imaging camera provides thermal images which show the
temperatures of the areas and objects under observation.
The temperatures are displayed in degrees Celsius or in degrees Fahrenheit.
Objects with temperatures of up to 200 °C (400° F) are shown in shades of
grey. Low temperatures are displayed with dark grey shades, and high
temperatures with light grey shades. Temperatures between 200 °C (400 °F)
and 650 °C (1200 °F) are displayed according to the colour scale.
If the "Overheat indicator" symbol flashes, the thermal imaging camera should
be switched off or removed from the hot environment. The thermal imaging
camera switches off automatically when the maximum permissible internal
temperature is reached.
The rechargeable battery which is located inside the thermal imaging camera
can be charged in the charging cradle. In stationary operation, the charging
cradle can be connected to the mains via the supplied plug-in power supply
unit. When the charging cradle is installed in a vehicle, the vehicle adapter is
used.
3.3 Intended
use
The thermal imaging camera is a device to support users in search and rescue
operations and firefighting if visibility is impaired due to poor lighting conditions
or smoke.

This symbol indicates the high temperature mode. This mode is
automatically activated when a large part of the displayed thermal
image exceeds 130 °C.

Overheat indicator
If this symbol flashes, the temperature inside the camera is reach-
ing its maximum limit. The symbol stays on permanently once the
maximum temperature has been reached. In this case, the camera
switches off automatically.

Average temperature measured in the centre of the green mark.
The area in which the temperature is measured depends on the
distance to the measured objects. The larger the distance to the
measured objects, the larger the area in which the temperature is
measured becomes, and the less precise the temperature informa-
tion for the individual objects is. More precise temperature mea-
surements can be achieved by reducing the distance to the object.
