12.1
Screening station
The FLIR EST Thermal Screening system is used to screen persons for elevated skin
temperatures. An alarm will trigger when the measured temperature is higher than a
reference temperature.
The system measures the temperature at the tear duct. For that reason, it is important
that the eyes of the screened person are not covered by eyeglasses, hair, or other items.
It is up to your company to establish a process for screening alarms. You must know what
you and the visitor shall do if the system indicates an elevated temperature.
For accurate and efficient screening, it is recommended that the screening station is set
up as described in chapter 10
Setup — Screening station (Auto and Button mode)
shows a typical screening station.
Figure 12.1
Typical screening station
The screening station typically includes the following equipment:
• Stand with thermal camera and visitor display.
• Bluetooth button, used to trigger the screening in Button mode.
• Screening position.
It is important that the screened person stands at the correct distance from the cam-
era. This is called the screening position. During the setup of the screening station,
the screening position should have been clearly marked by a floor sticker.
• Queueing system, e.g. barriers and arrow floor stickers.
The queueing system guides the visitors into the screening station, to the correct
screening position, and out of the screening station.
• Information roll-up.
Roll-up that informs people what the screening is about and why they need to do it.
• Instruction roll-up.
Roll-up that tells people to remove eyeglasses before they are screened.
