Description
2.2 Display
►Illustration on the fold-out page
The colors of the thermal image are displayed as defined in the
selected application mode (see Chapter 2.3.3 on Page 12).
The average temperature measured in the marked area is displayed
on the bottom right. The area in which the temperature is measured
depends on the distance to the measured objects. The larger the
distance to the measured objects, the larger the area in which the
temperature is measured becomes, and the less precise the
temperature information for the individual objects is. More precise
temperature measurements can be achieved by reducing the distance
to the object. The temperature is displayed in ° C or ° F, depending on
the settings. The temperature display can be changed using the
supplied PC software.
On the right side of the display a color scale with the temperature
range and the corresponding color display is shown. Normally the
color scale represents the temperatures from 110 °C (230 °F) to
130 °C (266 °F). The camera automatically switches to high
temperature mode if a large part of the displayed thermal image
exceeds 130 °C (266 °F). In this mode the color scale represents the
temperature range from 300 °C (572 °F) to more than 900 °C
(1650 °F).
Gray colors indicate temperatures below the lower threshold, red
colors indicate that the high temperature threshold is exceeded.
The following symbols may appear in the upper area of the display:
Symbol Meaning UCF 6000 UCF 7000 UCF 8000 UCF 9000
If this symbol (overheat
indicator) flashes, the
temperature inside the camera
is reaching its upper limit.
The symbol stays on
permanently once the max.
temperature has been reached.
In this case, the camera
switches off automatically.

3.1 General notes on using the thermal imaging
camera
The thermal imaging camera is not a life-supporting device and
must therefore not be used as such.
The operating time of every battery will be reduced if used in
environments with high or very low temperatures.
The rechargeable batteries supplied with the thermal imaging
camera were selected based on certain performance criteria. To
ensure reliable operation, only use the batteries specified in the
order list (see Section 9 on Page 27).
The thermal imaging camera is a complex electro-optical device
and may be subject to possible malfunctions like any other
electronic system. In case of camera failure, the user will not
receive thermal images anymore. When using this thermal
imaging camera on tactical missions, follow the procedures that
have been put in place for operations without a thermal imaging
camera.
All users must familiarize themselves with the proper function and
the performance limits of the thermal imaging camera before use.
This includes general understanding of thermal images and how
they are interpreted.
Dräger recommends Dräger Academy or third-party training, e. g.
at a firefighter school. Contact Dräger for additional information.
The thermal imaging camera may only be used by persons who
are familiar with its use and performance limits. This includes use
under simulated fire conditions (e. g. controlled fire situations).
Do not use the thermal imaging camera as the sole navigation
source. Otherwise, a malfunction of the device may cause loss of
orientation, injury or even death.
The thermal imaging camera features a class 2 laser pointer
(650 nm, visible red). The laser light may be dangerous for the
eyes. Do not look directly into the laser beam. Do not point the
laser at a person's head! Always switch off the laser pointer when
it is not used. A laser warning symbol in the display shows when
the laser pointer is active.

Use
The LEDs on the charging cradle provide the following information:
To ensure that a fully charged battery is available at all times, Dräger
recommends always placing the rechargeable battery into the
charging cradle when it is not in use. Loss of capacity due to a memory
effect will not occur. If the rechargeable battery/thermal imaging
camera is left in the charger, the charger will recharge the battery from
time to time to ensure that it is always fully charged when needed. This
will not damage the battery.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon shows 4 green bars.
The battery icon changes in relation to the charging status:
3 green bars: battery power amounts to 75 %
2 orange bars: battery power amounts to 50 %
1 red bar: battery power amounts to 25 %
Replace the battery as soon as possible.
1 red flashing bar: There are only 5 minutes left until the thermal
imaging camera will switch off.
Replace the battery immediately.
