Mi-TIC camera models, when marked, are suitable for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups C, D or
Non-Hazardous Locations only.
These cameras are supplied with batteries of type A G_MI_BLPSN, A G_MI_BLPYN or A G_MI_BLPXN
which are also marked for use in hazardous locations and must always be used with the camera in
hazardous locations.
Warning - explosion hazard - substitution of argus camera and/or argus battery pack components may

1.5 CAMERA WARNINGS/CAUTIONS
•All users should familiarise themselves with the correct operation, functionality and features of
the camera before use.
•argus
®
Mi-TIC cameras are safe when handled and used according to the guidelines included
here, in the product safety data sheet PSD776352AA and within the environmental operating
environment specified in the data sheet (see section 9).
•The cameras are an aid to fire, search and rescue operations. They are not intended to provide
a safety function or as a replacement for established safety procedures.
•The argus
®
Mi-TIC camera can only be serviced by authorised personnel.
•Where the camera is used at an ambient temperature greater than +40 °C, suitable protective
gloves shall be worn to hold the camera; these should have a temperature rating at least 20 °C
above the ambient temperature.
•Avon Protection recommends that the argus
®
Mi-TIC camera is stored in the supplied package or
an alternative case supplied by Avon Protection.
•If users wish to mark or apply identification labels to their cameras they should ensure that their
marking does not create a hazard (e.g. flammable) or obscure certification information. Avoid
the use of solvents as these may degrade the camera housing. Users may prefer to use the
custom splash screen as an alternative, see section 5.1
•LASE Warning and Safety Measures
Observe all appropriate country-specific safety measures for the use of class 3 laser equipment.
Never aim the laser at a person’s eyes as this may cause permanent damage.
This Laser must only be used by properly trained personnel.

•Detect and display the relative temperatures of objects within the scene.
•Locate the seat and spread of the fire.
•Move swiftly in search and rescue of casualties.
•Have the ability to see in zero visibility conditions.
•Significantly improve safety and mobility.
•Monitor temperatures for preventive maintenance and condition monitoring of equipment.
The argus
®
Mi-TIC E and Mi-TIC S are designed to withstand the high temperatures, knocks and driving
spray often encountered in the fire-fighting environment and has many features that can be customised
by the end user. These features include:
•Direct Temperature Measurement up to 1100°C / 2000°F (Mi-TIC S, Mi-TIC); 760°C / 1400°F (Mi-TIC E)
•Up to 7 application specific colour modes (Fire, Overhaul, Size Up, Inspection, White Hot, Missing
Persons and Black Hot)
•Customisable Start-up Screen
•X2 and X4 Zoom

3.6 Getting Started
The packing case contains the following items (see Quick Start Guide):
•Camera with pocket clip fitted
•Charger Station
•Quick Start Guide
•Two rechargeable battery packs
•USB Lead
•etractable lanyard
•Power Supply Kit:
•Mains power supply
•Set of interchangeable plugs
•Vehicle power lead (12 V)
•Universal Mounting Plate for Charger with 2 mounting screws
•3 mm hex key (for attaching charger to Universal Mounting Plate)
•2.5mm hex key (for attaching Picatinny rail – Mi-TIC only)
•2 mm hex key (for attaching pocket clip and lanyard loop – MI-TIC and Mi-TIC E only)
Basic Operation
•Turn the camera on with a short press of the green button.
•After about one second a start-up image will appear on the screen. (This image may
be changed – see section 5.1). After a few more seconds the display will show the
thermal image.
•The time and date will be displayed for a further 5 seconds.
•Always check the battery indication to verify adequate power and check that a good
thermal image is displayed before commencing operational use.
•While the camera is in operation, it will recalibrate to maintain its performance and
image quality. During recalibration, an internal shutter closes and the image will
briefly freeze while the internal electronics optimises the performance of the sensor.
This occurs more frequently when first turned on, then the calibration interval
increases as the internal temperature of the camera stabilises.
•To turn the camera off, press and hold the green button for two seconds until the
camera turns off.

3.7.2 irect Temperature Measurement
The camera allows the operator to view the average
temperature of the centre spot of the scene (defined by the
target markings). The temperature reading is displayed in the
bottom right-hand corner of the display. This system is
intended to give the operator the ability to detect possible
hazards such as hot gas bottles or tanks, heat signatures of
people of objects, and to compare temperatures.
The temperature measurements feature can be changed between degrees Celsius or
degrees Fahrenheit by using the PC Configuration Tool software (see section 6.2).
In ‘Fire’ application mode, a green column against the temperature reference scale also
shows the spot temperature.
Notes:
•The camera can measure scene temperatures between -40°C and +1100°C (-40°F and
+2000°F).
•The object being measured must fully fill the target marks to get a good reading.
•If the temperature is higher than the maximum, the display will show “1100+C” in red.
•If the temperature is lower than the minimum, the display will show “----”
•Different types of materials have different infrared emission characteristics. This will
affect the accuracy of the temperature reading. Variations can also be caused by the
distance from the object. This temperature measurement must be regarded as an
indication and not a guaranteed reading.
3.7.3 Tri-Mode Sensitivity
The Argus
®
Mi-TIC has three levels of sensitivity: High, Low and Extended Low. These
levels provide the user with a thermal image over the widest possible temperature
range. The Argus
®
Mi-TIC will switch to the optimum level of sensitivity automatically
and will indicate when it is not in high sensitivity mode by displaying a green coloured
solid triangle symbol at the top left of the display.
•High Sensitivity Mode
The Argus
®
Mi-TIC will operate in High Sensitivity mode under normal operating
conditions. This mode produces a clear image with lots of detail and low levels of noise.
The temperature range for this mode is between −40 °C and 150 °C (−40 °F and 302 °F).

 Avon Protection 19 DAS775571AA Version 9, December 2015
G 13313 C 121804
•Low Sensitivity Mode
The Argus
®
Mi-TIC will automatically switch to Low Sensitivity mode
when higher temperatures have been detected, a small green triangle
symbol will be displayed in the top left corner to indicate this. The
image produced will still be clear with lots of detail, although some
additional noise will be visible in the cooler areas of the scene. The
temperature range for this mode is up to 400 °C (750 °F).
•Extended Low Sensitivity Mode
The Argus
®
Mi-TIC will automatically switch to Extended Low
Sensitivity mode when higher temperatures have been detected, a
small green triangle symbol will be displayed in the top left corner to
indicate this. The image produced will still be clear with lots of detail,
although even more noise will be visible in the cooler areas of the
scene. The temperature range for this mode is up to 1100°C / 2000°F (Mi-TIC S, Mi-TIC);
760°C / 1400°F (Mi-TIC-E).
