DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT
EAGLE ATTACK
Thermal Imaging Camera is a lightweight, highly durable
infrared imaging device that can provide vision enhancement in fire fighting and similar
emergency response activities. It is a rugged hand held unit with simple controls that
uses highly sensitive technology capable of recognizing small differences in temperature.
The
EAGLE ATTACK
Thermal Imaging Camera “sees” temperature differences (infrared
radiation) rather than visible light. The camera is available in two versions:
–
The
GRAYSCALE
mode display version shows only shades of gray from black to
white. Warmer objects appear on the display screen as lighter gray to white images
while cooler objects appear darker gray to black. The
EAGLE ATTACK
Thermal
Imaging Camera operates in two temperature ranges, a Lower and an Upper range.
When viewing hotter objects at temperatures above approximately 200 °F / 93 °C,
the
EI
icon will appear in the display indicating that the Upper range is in operation.
–
The
TAC
(Temperature Awareness Colorization) mode version displays shades
of gray the same as the GRAYSCALE mode, but objects or areas at elevated
temperatures appear as colors. This version may be an aid in helping fire fighters
find sources of extreme heat. The approximate temperatures at which the colors
appear are as follows:
200 °F to 500 °F (93 °C to 260 °C) – shades of Yellow
501 °F to 800 °F (261 °C to 426 °C) – shades of Orange
801 °F to 1200 °F (427 °C to 649 °C) – shades of Red
The power controls consist of one glove accessible POWER button just below the display
screen which controls power ON/OFF. The display provides information including bat-
tery status and over temperature warning. A digital temperature indicator on the display
screen gives the approximate temperature of the target area at the center of the display.
The temperature is determined by an average of points within the target area. The tem-
perature indicator is available from the factory as either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
The Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery is capable of powering the unit approximately 5 hours
(3.5 hours with TVR). A battery power gauge appearing in the display is standard. The
EAGLE ATTACK Charging System holds the camera and charges both the battery
installed in the camera as well as a second spare battery. The battery charger may be
used on a desk top or may be mounted on the wall or in a vehicle. For vehicle mounting,
the charger may be powered by a 12 volt adapter or may be hard wired into the vehicle
with either 12 or 24 volt supply. In addition, two charging stations may be wired together
and powered from a single AC adapter or up to three units may be wired together if using
the 12 VDC adapter or 12 or 24 VDC source power from a vehicle.
The
EAGLE ATTACK
Thermal Imaging Camera is available with a black housing with
a choice of outer boots in bright RED, BLACK, YELLOW, or ORANGE.
WARNING
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS HAVE UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS.
THEY ARE NOT NIGHT VISION CAMERAS. THE THERMAL IMAGE REPRESENTS
THE RELATIVE TEMPERATURES OF OBJECTS AND DOES NOT DEPICT WHAT
THE HUMAN EYE NORMALLY SEES. INTERPRETATION OF THE THERMAL IMAGE
REQUIRES TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. DO NOT USE THE EAGLE ATTACK
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN
ITS USE AND OPERATION. DO NOT USE THE EAGLE ATTACK THERMAL IMAGING
CAMERA IF IT STOPS OPERATING OR OPERATES INCORRECTLY. USE OF THIS
DEVICE WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING AND UNDERSTANDING OF ITS OPERATION
MAY CAUSE ERRORS IN JUDGMENT BASED ON MISINTERPRETATION OF THERMAL
IMAGING INFORMATION WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
