installations by providing a high protection rate, a sunshield, and thermostat control heater in cooler
climates.

The Germanium window has a transmission factor of 0.87 meaning it transmits 86% of the
radiation before it gets to the camera. For correct temperature readings, that transmission
factor needs to be considered via setting the global emissivity value as a composite
correction factor in the camera’s software. For example, if the target emissivity is 0.93, but
the camera must look through the Germanium window with the transmission factor of
0.87, then the global emissivity setting should be set to 0.81 to compensate for both (0.93 x
0.87 = 0.81).
