Setting Up an Elevated Temperature Detection
Station
To properly setup an Elevated Temperature Detection station, many factors will need to be assessed and
taken into account to obtain optimal and accurate results for the temperature detection.
Review the installation guidelines and recommendations for preparing subjects for screening before
installing the camera and other components.
Installation Guidelines
Note:
ACC software version 7.10 or later is required to use the elevated temperature features.
Pay particular attention to the following guidelines when setting up your elevated temperature detection
station:
l
The H4 Thermal Elevated Temperature Detection solution is designed as an initial screening system
of individuals for elevated skin temperature.
l
The system should only be used in indoor environments with a stable ambient temperature between
18 °C and 24 °C (65 °F to 75 °F), and located in an area that is not subject to air drafts from radiator or
HVAC systems.
l
Install the solution with a neutral backdrop behind the target subject. The camera's field of view
should not be directed towards outdoor entrance or exit points, and should not include thermally
reflective surfaces or strong lighting.
l
Refer to the diagram below for an example of an ideal camera and blackbody setup.
l
Height of camera: 1.5m - 2m (5 ft - 6.5 ft)
l
Height of blackbody: 1.5m - 2m (5 ft - 6.5 ft)
Note:
The height guidelines for the camera and blackbody are designed for the
average height of an adult subject. If this system will be used to screen children, the
heights of the camera and blackbody may need to be adjusted to account for the
lower height of the subjects.
l
Distance between blackbody and camera: 1.5m (5 ft)
l
Distance between person and camera: 1.5m (5 ft)
