Care Instructions
The design of the Bullard Thermal Imager requires very
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 rubber bumpers and side
strap.
• When not in use, always store your Bullard Thermal
Imager in the case provided.
Cleaning the Lens
The Thermal Imager lens is protected by both a silicone
gasket and a plastic lens bezel. The bezel
(Item 5, Figure
1)
contains a drain hole so that any water that may get into
or behind the bezel will be effectively drained away.
Normally, the lens can be cleaned with a soft cloth and
soapy water. However, if the bezel drain becomes clogged it
may be necessary to remove the bezel in order to clean out
the passageway. The bezel can be easily removed by
unscrewing the two retaining screws. Once clean, re-attach
the bezel ensuring that the drain is positioned on the
bottom of the assembly.
Replacing the Video Display Cover Window
The display cover
(Item 6, Figure 1)
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, simply remove the four
stainless steel screws along the top and sides of the
window. Then remove the battery door thumb knobs by
loosening the two screws that retain them. Remove the
plastic display cover window and replace with a new one
(part number TIWINDOW), making sure that the O-ring
countersink slots around the mounting holes are facing
outward. When reinserting the screws, make sure each one
has the sealing O-ring in place.
CAUTION
Do not use solvents or paint thinners to clean your
Bullard Thermal Imager, as they could permanently mar
the surface or degrade the protective properties of the
casing. Failure to observe these instructions may result
in product damage.
WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble the sealed case of your
Bullard Thermal Imager. If the unit is not functioning
properly return it to Bullard for evaluation.
Disassembling the unit voids all warranties.
The Bullard Thermal Imager is not certified as
intrinsically safe.
Thermal Imaging is not a technology designed to replace
current fire fighting tactics. Rather, it is a tool that
allows the firefighter to be more effective and to make
better decisions.
Do not attempt to remove the lens gasket or the rear
boot. These parts are sealed and removal will cause
leakage. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in death, serious injury and/or product damage.
