QUICK START GUIDE
VIRALERT 3LITE
1 INTRODUCTION
This Quick Start Guide gives you information on how to install and set up the
AMETEK Land VIRALERT 3 LITE Human Body Temperature Screening System.
1.1 About VIRALERT 3 LITE
VIRALERT 3 LITE screens people for elevated temperatures that could indicate
fever. The system is intended for use at business premises, hospitals, airports,
schools, sporting and social gathering venues etc.
VIRALERT 3 LITE uses an infrared thermal imager to determine the highest
temperature in the subject’s face.
WARNING
VIRALERT 3 LITE is a screening tool. It has not been cleared or
approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. It should not
be relied on solely or primarily to diagnose or exclude a diagnosis of
COVID-19 or any other disease.

3 SYSTEM SETUP
3.1 Measurement Location
1) Choose a location near to the entrance of the area you want to protect.
2) There must be space to install the VIRALERT 3 LITE so that the Measurement
Subject can face the system from a distance of 1 m / 3 ft.
3) Avoid locations where there are possible heat sources e.g. electrical
equipment, radiators etc. in the eld of view of the Imager.
4) Also avoid locations where the Imager may pick up reections from windows,
mirrors etc.
5) VIRALERT 3 LITE is designed to scan one person at a time. The measurement
location should not be a high-trac area where people other than the subject
will be in the eld of view.
6) During the temperature measurement process, the Subject will need to stand
still in front of the Imager for approximately 2 seconds. Make sure there is
adequate provision for social distancing in your chosen measurement location.
7) The Imager must have a clear, unobstructed view of the Subject’s face, ideally
with the Imager at a height around eye level. If necessary, use one of the
mounting accessories available from AMETEK Land (see Section 1.3).
8) The Blackbody Reference Source requires a mains voltage supply. You will
also need to provide power to the Laptop/PC running the VIRALERT 3 LITE
software.
9) Once the system is installed and operating, use cable ties to secure the
cables to suitable structures. This minimises the risk of the cables becoming
dislodged and reduces the risk of tripping over the cables.
10) Posters which explain the screening process and provide instructions for your
sta and visitors on how to use the system are available for download from:
www.landviralert.com
Detailed guidelines for deployment, implementation and operation of a
screening system can be found in ISO/TR 13154:2017
3.2 System Connections
NOTE
If you have purchased a mounting accessory i.e. Surface Mount Bracket, Clamp
Mount Bracket, or Tripod from AMETEK Land, then each accessory will come supplied
with its own installation instructions.

4.2 Starting the Software
If you are using your own Laptop/PC, download and install the software from the
AMETEK Land website.
VIRALERT 3 LITE software is available for download from www.landviralert.com.
CAUTION
During installation of the VIRALERT 3 LITE software, your computer
may restart. Before installation, make sure to save and close any les
in other programs that you may have open.
The minimum specications for a computer running VIRALERT 3 LITE are:
• I3 processor or equivalent
• 4 GB RAM
• Minimum 1 x RJ45 port and 1 x USB-A port
• 64 GB Hard disk
• Windows 10*
* If your Laptop/PC is running Windows 10 in S mode, then VIRALERT 3 LITE will not
run on this machine. S mode runs only applications from the Microsoft Store, and
requires Microsoft Edge for Internet browsing. To run VIRALERT 3 LITE on your
machine, it should be switched to standard Windows 10 mode. Simple instructions
for this are available from support.microsoft.com
1) On the Laptop/PC, click on the VIRALERT icon or search for
VIRALERT in the Windows search bar.
The software will start automatically in Measurement mode.
2) Wait for the LED next to the cable connector on the front panel of the
Blackbody Reference Source to turn green.
WARNING
The warm-up rate of the Blackbody Reference Source is
13 °C / 23 °F per minute.
Therefore, from an ambient temperature of 25°C /77°F it will
take approximately 1 minute for the source to reach the factory
default value of 38 °C / 100.4 °F.
From an ambient temperature of 0°C /32°F, it will take
approximately 3 minutes to reach the default temperature
value.
3) Position a Subject in front of the Imager. The subject must:
• Remove glasses
• Remove any hat, hood or mask
• Have no hair covering the forehead

WARNING
The threshold for an elevated body temperature alarm is a
critical parameter for use of VIRALERT 3 LITE.
You should consult a medical advisor for assistance in setting
the appropriate alarm point. The factory default value is 38°C
(100.4 °F)

Calibration should be checked every 12 months by an appropriately trained person. This
ensures that the instrument operates with accuracy and reliability. Contact your local
AMETEK LAND service centre for more information.
The VIRALERT 3 LITE System is designed to be largely maintenance-free, but it is
recommended to check all system connections periodically.
The instrument can be cleaned using soft, lint-free cloth, moistened with a little water if
required.

Humanskintemperatureisaectedbyawidenumberofenvironmentaland
physiological factors. Elevated facial skin temperature may signify a raised
body core temperature; correspondingly, an elevated core temperature may
not be accompanied by a raised facial skin temperature. VIRALERT systems are
accuratescienticsystemsthatmustbeoperatedstrictlyinaccordancewith
the manufacturer’s operating manual. VIRALERT systems are not intended, nor
designed, to diagnose or detect medical conditions including, but not limited to,
viruses or other illnesses. AMETEK Land thermal imaging products should only
be used to detect variations of surface temperature. If elevated skin temperature
isdetected,thendingshouldbeconrmedbyothermeans,forexample,an
approved medical thermometer. The absence of an elevated skin temperature
does not exclude a fever.
Public health ocials should determine the signicance of any fever or elevated
temperature based on the skin temperature measurement using VIRALERT 3 LITE.
