THERMAL IMAGING SCOPE
HELION 2 XP50 PRO
•
Plug the mains adapter into a 100-240
V socket and the battery charging
process will start.
•
If the indicator of the charger lights
up red continuously upon battery
installation, the battery charge level is
probably lower than acceptable (the
battery has been in deep discharge
for too long). In this case, keep the
battery in the charger for a long time
(up to several hours), then remove and
re-insert it. If the indicator then starts
blinking green, the battery is good but
if it keeps lighting up red it's defective.
Do not use the battery!
INSTALLATION
•
Remove the protective cover from the Battery Pack.
•
Lift the lever
(12)
.
•
Insert the battery into the dedicated slot in the device body until it stops so that element F (see Fig. 2 on the
flyleaf) is located below.
•
Lock the battery by lowering the lever.
PRECAUTIONS
•
Only use the charger supplied with the Battery Pack. The use of any other charger may irreparably damage
the Battery Pack or the charger and may cause fire.
•
During long-term storage, the Battery Pack should be partially charged – the charge level should be between
50% and 80%.
•
Do not charge the Battery Pack immediately after bringing it from a cold environment to a warm one. Wait for
30-40 minutes for the Battery Pack to get warm.
•
Do not leave the Battery Pack unattended while charging.
•
Never use a modified or damaged charger.
•
Charge the Battery Pack at a temperature from 0 °C to +45 °C, otherwise the battery life will decrease
significantly.
•
Do not leave the Battery Pack with a charger connected to the mains after charging is complete.
•
Do not expose the Battery Pack to high temperatures or a naked flame.
•
Do not submerge the Battery Pack in water.
•
Do not connect an external device with a current consumption that exceeds permitted levels.
•
The Battery Pack is short circuit protected. However, any situation that may cause short-circuiting should be
avoided.
•
Do not dismantle or deform the Battery Pack.
•
When using the Battery Pack at sub-zero temperatures the battery capacity decreases. This is normal and is
not a defect.
•
Do not use the Battery Pack at temperatures above those shown in the table – this may decrease battery life.
•
Do not drop or hit the Battery Pack.
•
Keep the Battery Pack out of the reach of children.
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
The thermal imaging scope can be powered with an external power supply such as Power Bank (5 V).
•
Connect the external power supply to the USB port
(4)
of the device.
•
The device will switch to operation from the external power supply and the IPS7 Battery Pack will begin slowly
charging.
•
The display will show the battery icon
with the charge level as a percentage.
•
If the device operates on external power supply but the IPS7 Battery Pack is not installed, the icon
is
shown.
•
When external power supply is disconnected, the device will switch to the internal IPS7 Battery Pack without
powering off.
Warning!
Charging IPS7 / IPS14 Battery Packs from a Power Bank at air temperatures below 0 °C may reduce
battery life. When using external power, connect the Power Bank to the device after it has been turned on and
working for several minutes.
OPERATION
WARNING!
Do not point the objective lens of the device at intensive sources of light such as devices emitting
laser radiation or the sun. This may render the electronic components inoperative. The warranty does not cover
damage caused by improper operation.
POWERING ON AND IMAGE SETUP
•
Open the lens cover
(1)
.
•
Turn the device on with a short press of the ON
(11)
button.
•
To obtain a crisp image of the icons on the display, rotate the diopter adjustment ring
(6)
. After this, there is
no need to rotate the diopter adjustment ring for distance or any other conditions.
•
To focus on an object being observed, rotate the lens focus ring
(2)
.
•
To set up display brightness and contrast and smooth digital zoom, please refer to the QUICK MENU
FUNCTIONS section.
•
After use, turn off the device with a long press of the ON
(11)
button.
MICROBOLOMETER CALIBRATION
Calibration allows levelling of the microbolometer background temperature and eliminates image flaws (such
as vertical stripes, frozen images, etc.).
There are three calibration modes: Manual (M), Semi-Automatic (SA) and Automatic (A).
Select the desired mode in the menu option Calibration mode .
M Mode (Manual).
Close the lens cover then press the ON
(11)
button briefly. Having finished calibration, open
the lens cover.
SA Mode (Semi-Automatic).
Calibration is activated with a short press of the ON
(11)
button. You do not have to
close the lens cover (the microbolometer is closed with an internal shutter automatically).
A Mode (Automatic).
The device calibrates by itself according to the software algorithm. You do not have to
close the lens cover (the microbolometer is closed with an internal shutter automatically). User assisted
calibration with the ON
(11)
button is also allowed in this mode (as in the Semi-Automatic mode).
