Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and important
instruments that you will have on your vessel. The FLIR ThermoVision
®
Mariner is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging system that will provide you
with excellent night visibility and situational awareness without any form
of natural or artificial illumination.
The ThermoVision® Mariner system is designed for simple, intuitive
operation. The basic system includes a pan and tilt camera assembly and
a remote joystick for steering the camera. It uses standard 12V battery
power and provides a composite video output compatible with standard
display systems. Imagery from the camera can be displayed on a variety of
video monitors, including most multi-function plotter/displays (MFDs)
used with electronic navigation charts. The output is NTSC or PAL, the
same format used on standard televisions and VCRs. It features a wide
field of view and is capable of providing an image even in absolute
darkness.
