4 Caring for your PathFindIR
4.1 Product Cleaning
Your PathFindIR camera images through an infrared transparent window.
This window is designed for the harsh automotive environment of normal
driving, but may require occasional cleaning. FLIR Systems Inc. suggests
that you clean the window of the PathFindIR when image quality
degradation is noticed or excessive contaminant build-up is seen on the
window.
To clean the window, use a soft moist cotton-based cloth with isopropyl
alcohol or dish soap. Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub
brushes as this will possibly damage the window by scratching it. Only
clean the window when you can visually see contamination on the surface.
4.2 Temperature
The PathFindIR camera has an operating temperature range of -40 to
80
o
C. Choose an installation location so that the PathFindIR is not subject
to temperature extremes that exceed this range.
4.3 Maintenance
If you have problems do not attempt to repair the PathFindIR unit yourself.
The PathFindIR camera is a water-tight sealed unit and can not be opened
or serviced in the field. Consult your installation dealer or FLIR Systems
Inc. for repair information.
If the camera will not produce an image, check the video connection at the
camera and at your display. If the connectors appear to be properly
Caution! Do not open the camera body for any reason. Disassembly of the
camera (including removal of the cover) can cause permanent damage
and will void the warranty.
