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 Camera and Blackbody Reference Source
so that the Measurement Subject can face the Camera 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 camera.
4) Also avoid locations where the camera may pick up reections from windows,
mirrors etc.
5) During the temperature measurement process, the Subject will need to stand
still in front of the camera for approximately 2 seconds. Make sure there is
adequate provision for social distancing in your chosen measurement location.
6) The camera must have a clear, unobstructed view of the Subject’s face, ideally
with the camera at a height around eye level. If necessary, use one of the
mounting accessories available from AMETEK Land (see Section 1.3).
7) The Blackbody Reference Source requires a mains voltage supply. You will also
need to provide power to the Laptop/PC running the VIRALERT 3 software.
8) 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.
9) 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

QUICK START GUIDE
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.
Images shown in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
