Operating Manual
7)
While every effort has been made to ensure that your ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is
both tough and reliable, the thermal imager is a sophisticated electro-optical system that
will fail if it is abused or exposed to environments beyond its design envelope.
8)
Repeated exposure to high temperature environments without adequate periods for the
unit to self-cool may result in degradation or loss of the thermal image, or damage to the
internal components. Be sure to allow adequate cool-down periods between high
temperature exposures.
9)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager will not provide images through glass, water, or shiny
objects. These surfaces act like reflective mirrors to the system.
10)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager will not provide thermal images underwater.
11)
Batteries supplied with the ISG INFRASYS thermal imager have been selected for specific
performance values. Replacement batteries must be obtained ONLY from an authorised ISG
INFRASYS service centre. In addition:
Never try to dispose of the battery pack by burning or through exposure to a
heating device such as a microwave oven – it could explode and cause injury.
Never try to disassemble, repair or otherwise tamper with a battery pack.
Never short-circuit the battery pack by contacting the terminals with a metal object.
Never puncture the battery pack with a sharp object or strike with a hammer or
other object.
12)
Users should be conscious of the battery life. Only enter a hazardous environment when a
full battery charge is indicated on the battery charge indicator.
13)
Failure to exit a hostile environment immediately on observation of the low battery warning
may result in system failure in a hostile environment, which could result in injury or death.
14)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is not rated as "Intrinsically Safe". Do not use the
system in environments or atmospheres where static or a spark could cause explosion.
15)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager must be serviced only by authorised personnel. The
thermal imager contains high voltage components and therefore, the user should never
remove the cover due to risk of shock.
