3 Changing lenses (FLIR Exx series)
Note If the new lens has not been used with the camera before, the lens–camera com-
bination must be calibrated after the lens has been mounted. See section 5 Calibrating
the lens–camera combination, page 8 for information on how to do this.
Note Do not touch the lens surface when you change lenses. If this happens, clean
the lens according to the instructions in 7.1 Infrared lens, page 10.
Follow this procedure:
1. Take a firm grip around the inner ring of the lens. Rotate the inner ring 30° counter-
clockwise until it stops.
2. Carefully pull out the lens.

3. The infrared detector is now fully exposed. Do not touch this surface. If you see dust
on the detector, follow the instructions in 7.2 Infrared detector, page 10.
4. Make sure that the inner ring of the camera lens is fully in its open position.
• Correct: The tooth (1) is in its end position at the black stop pin (2).
• Wrong: You must rotate the inner ring until the tooth (1) reaches the black stop pin
(2).

5. Carefully push the lens into position.
6. Rotate the inner ring of the lens 30° clockwise. The lens makes a click when it locks
in place.
7. Make sure that the two index marks are aligned, indicating that the lens is locked in
place.

5 Calibrating the lens–camera combination
5.1 Introduction
Before a new lens can be used with the camera, the lens–camera combination must be
calibrated.
This is a process that previously had to be performed by a FLIR service department, but
for the FLIR Exx series and FLIR T5xx series the calibration can be performed by the
user, using a calibration target. The calibration target is included in the lens package.
5.2 Procedure
Note The images below show a FLIR Exx series camera, but the procedure is similar
for FLIR T5xx series cameras.
Follow this procedure:
1. Dip the calibration target in water for 1 second and let the excess drip off.
2. Tape or hang the calibration target on a wall.

3. Mount the new lens on the camera according to the procedure in section 3 Changing
lenses (FLIR Exx series), page 2 or section 4 Changing lenses (FLIR T5xx series),
page 5. When the lens is mounted, the calibration wizard starts automatically.
4. From a distance of 2 m (6.6 ft.), aim the camera toward the crosshair, using the laser
pointer. The camera will take a picture automatically.
NOTE
Make sure the camera’s optical path is perpendicular to the calibration target. See the image below.
5. In the camera, align the thermal and visual images (indicated by the two squares in
the image below), using the touchscreen arrows. The lens–camera combination is
now calibrated.
To repeat the procedure at a later time, go to Settings >Camera information.

7 Appendix
7.1 Infrared lens
7.1.1 Liquids
Use one of these liquids:
• A commercial lens cleaning liquid with more than 30% isopropyl alcohol.
• 96% ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).
7.1.2 Equipment
Cotton wool
CAUTION
If you use a lens cleaning cloth it must be dry. Do not use a lens cleaning cloth with the liquids that are
given in section 7.1.1 above. These liquids can cause material on the lens cleaning cloth to become
loose. This material can have an unwanted effect on the surface of the lens.
7.1.3 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Soak the cotton wool in the liquid.
2. Twist the cotton wool to remove excess liquid.
3. Clean the lens one time only and discard the cotton wool.
WARNING
Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on con-
tainers before you use a liquid: the liquids can be dangerous.
CAUTION
• Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has a delicate anti-reflective coating.
• Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously. This can damage the anti-reflective coating.
7.2 Infrared detector
7.2.1 General
Even small amounts of dust on the infrared detector can result in major blemishes in the
image. To remove any dust from the detector, follow the procedure below.
Note
• This section only applies to cameras where removing the lens exposes the infrared
detector.
• In some cases the dust cannot be removed by following this procedure: the infrared
detector must be cleaned mechanically. This mechanical cleaning must be carried
out by an authorized service partner.
CAUTION
In Step 2 below, do not use pressurized air from pneumatic air circuits in a workshop, etc., as this air
usually contains oil mist to lubricate pneumatic tools.
7.2.2 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Remove the lens from the camera.
2. Use pressurized air from a compressed air canister to blow off the dust.
