Care Instructions
The Bullard Eclipse LDX Thermal Imager requires little maintenance. For best results, after
each use:
• Clean the outside of the unit with mild soap or detergent.
• Wipe the lens with a soft cloth.
• Clean the display with a soft cloth.
• Check screw tightness on cover display.
• Store your thermal imager in the optional truck mount or in the delivery case provided.
• Maintain your thermal imagers using a proper program
Cleaning the Lens
The Bullard Eclipse LDX lens is recessed in an impact resistant bezel. The lens can be cleaned
with a soft cloth and soapy water as required.
Replacing the Video Display Cover
Window
The display cover (
Figure 6
) has a scratch-resistant hard
coating to minimize marring. However, if heavy scratching or
gouging does occur, the cover window can be replaced. To do
this, remove the four Phillips head screws along the sides of the
window. Remove the plastic display cover window and replace with
a new one (part number: ECLLDWINDOW). Do not over-tighten.
CAUTION
The Eclipse LDX Thermal Imager is extremely sensitive to intense, radiant heat sources.
Never point the unit at the sun or any other source of extreme radiant heat, as this could
severely damage the thermal imager.
Do not use solvents or paint thinners to clean your Bullard Eclipse LDX Thermal Imager,
as they could permanently mar the surface or degrade the protective properties of the
casing.
Do not intentionally submerge the unit underwater or subject the unit to high- pressure
water.
Do not attempt to disassemble the Bullard Eclipse LDX Thermal Imager. Disassembling the
unit voids all warranties.
Failure to observe these instructions may result in product damage. Any damage caused
by improper care is not covered under warranty.

WARNING
Thermal imaging is not a technology designed to replace current firefighting tactics.
Rather, it is a tool that allows firefighters to be more effective and to make better
decisions.

completed and the goods have been returned to you, your distributor will invoice you for the
actual repair amount.
NOTE
Do not attempt to disassemble the sealed case of your Bullard Thermal Imager.
