5.1 Filter Wheel

recognizes the inserted slot and automatically adjusts the measurement configuration.
5.1.1 Removing an optical filter holder
Note
•
This operation is done close to the detector window. Pay extreme attention not
to touch or scratch the detector window. Contact FLIR service if you wish
assistance for this operation.
•
The detector is a very sensitive sensor. It must not be directed towards strong
visible or sun light. It is preferred to remove filters with the camera powered on
as the detector, when cooled, is less sensitive to visible light.
•
A filter holder tool is provided with the camera and located in the portfolio.
•
Do not touch the filter surface when you install the filter. If this happens, clean the
filter accordingly to the manufacturer instructions.

Follow the procedure to dismount a filter holder from the camera filter wheel.
1
Select the measurement range configuration using the filter to be used. The filter is
