Safety requirements
•The customer is responsible for light source safety while
using a camera as a standalone device or integrated into
system.
•The customer must consider protective measures if
necessary.
•While assembling or operating camera, do not stare at the
direct laser (or other source) light even with safety goggles.
•This device will not protect you from direct or high light
radiation. Use camera with caution and appropriate
attenuation
•Electrical safety requirements must be complied while
operating this device.!

About
The near infrared CONTOUR M camera has a built in 4 inch
display. Camera is designed for observation, registration and
recording radiation in near infrared zone emitted by infrared
sources such as GaAs IR LED, diode or solid-state lasers as well
as for use in infrared microscopy, infrared luminescence,
examination of documents, forensics, art restoration and etc.
The CONTOUR M is ideal for the alignment of infrared beam and
optical components in infrared systems in the 400-1700 nm
spectral region. With Built-in 12V external charger and battery
compartment ensures longer and comfortable operation of
device.
The camera is based on a high-sensitive low-noise silicon CCD
sensor and two-photon absorption phenomenon. Superior image
quality is obtained with micro lens system and special coating
layer on a silicon. The four-stage system of automatic control and
superior anti-blooming feature allows operation in a much wider
spectral range. The device can be used hand-held or with
tripod.

Operation
CAUTION! Do not use direct laser radiation on a sensor.
CAUTION! Use the attenuators and beam splitters to decrease
of laser radiation.
1. Power supply of the IR camera is carried out through
stabilised AC/DC 110-240V/12V adaptor or 4XAA size
rechargeable batteries.
2. Unscrew 4 screws (1) of the battery compartment (2). Install
4 rechargeable LR6 (AA) type batteries.
3. To switch the IR camera ON turn the rotary switch (3).
4. Rotate lens (4) to get observed object in focus.
5. Use buttons (5) to adjust picture brightness.
6. IR camera has limited sensitivity in 1100-1700nm spectral
region. It is recommended to use cut-off IR filter and work in
dark room (try to eliminate external illumination). Use a
metallic surface for observation reflected radiation, as any
other material might absorb infrared radiation
7. Connect the AC/DC adaptor through plug (9) to charge the
batteries. The indicator (10) will start to blink when batteries
are charged. Charging time is up to 4 hours.
8. Plug in video cable in to a socket (11) for video recording.!

The Maintenance instruction
•Keep device away from mechanical damage and moisture.
•Protect the lenses from dirt. If necessary, clean them with
clean soft cloth; remove oiled spots or deposit with cotton
wool slightly wetted in alcohol.
•Use stabilised certified AC/DC 110-220V/12V adapter (not
included).
