Please Read
Test Shots
Before you try to shoot important subjects, we highly recommend
that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the IR camera is
operating and being operated correctly.
Please note that SATIR, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its
distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising
from any malfunction of an IR camera or accessory that results in
the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format
that is machine readable.
Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and
understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure
that the IR camera is operated correctly.
8
Warnings
Read on to learn about using IR camera properly.
Do not disassemble
9
Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners
or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the IR
camera
Any of these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may
lead to fire or electrical shock.
Continuous use over a long period of time may cause the unit to
overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
If the lens is loosened and fallen off, the glass shards may cause an
injury.
Please take care when operating the IR camera for an extended period
as your hands may experience a burning sensation.
11
Prevent Malfunction
Read on to learn about preventing malfunction of IR camera.
Warning: Do not aim the IR camera directly into the sun or at other
intense heat source which could damage the detector of the IR
camera.
Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may
cause condensation (water droplets) on its external and internal
surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the IR camera in the plastic case (bundle)
and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the case.
