Safety information
2
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. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Applicability: FLIR Ax5.
Do not use screws that are too long. If you use screws that are too long, damage to the camera will oc-
cur. The maximum depth of the M3 holes is 4 mm (0.15 in.).
CAUTION
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for example,
devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy of the
camera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
CAUTION
Do not use the camera in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F), unless other information is specified
in the user documentation or technical data. High temperatures can cause damage to the camera.
CAUTION
Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items. Damage to the bat-
tery and injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-reflective coating which is easily dam-
aged. Damage to the infrared lens can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-reflective
coating.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras with an automatic shutter that can be disabled.
Do not disable the automatic shutter in the camera for a long time period (a maximum of 30 minutes is
typical). If you disable the shutter for a longer time period, damage to the detector can occur.
Note The encapsulation rating is only applicable when all the openings on the camera
are sealed with their correct covers, hatches, or caps. This includes the compartments
for data storage, batteries, and connectors.
CAUTION
Applicability: Cameras where you can remove the lens and expose the infrared detector.
Do not use the pressurized air from the pneumatic air systems in a workshop when you remove dust
from the detector. The air contains oil mist to lubricate the pneumatic tools and the pressure is too high.
Damage to the detector can occur.

Notice to user

3.1 Register your camera
Register your camera to receive an extended warranty and other related benefits.
To register the camera, go to www.flir.com/register.
To access the registration form, you must log in to your FLIR account or sign up for a new
account. You will also need the serial number of your camera, which is available on the
calibration certificate or on the side of the camera.
3.2 Calibration
FLIR Systems recommends that you verify your calibration yearly. You can verify the cali-
bration yourself or with the help of a FLIR Systems Partner. If preferred, FLIR Systems of-
fers a calibration, adjustment, and general maintenance service.
3.3 Accuracy
For very accurate results, we recommend that you wait 5 minutes after you have started
the camera before measuring a temperature.
3.4 Disposal of electronic waste
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains materials, components and substan-
ces that may be hazardous and present a risk to human health and the environment
when waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is not handled correctly.
Equipment marked with the below crossed-out wheeled bin is electrical and electronic
equipment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment should not be discarded together with unseparated household waste,
but must be collected separately.
For this purpose all local authorities have established collection schemes under which
residents can dispose waste electrical and electronic equipment at a recycling centre or
other collection points, or WEEE will be collected directly from households. More de-
tailed information is available from the technical administration of the relevant local
authority.
3.5 Training
For training resources and courses, go to http://www.flir.com/support-center/training.
3.6 Documentation updates
Our manuals are updated several times per year, and we also issue product-critical notifi-
cations of changes on a regular basis.

Mechanical installation
9
The camera unit has been designed to allow it to be mounted in any position. It has a
mounting interface on the bottom with four metric M3 holes.
WARNING
Do not use screws that are too long. Using screws that are too long will damage the camera. The maxi-
mum depth of the M3 holes is 4 mm (0.15 in.).
Note The camera generates a considerable amount of heat during operation. This is
normal. In order to transfer this heat, it is recommended that the camera is mounted on a
base support or a heat sink made of a material that has a high capacity to transfer heat,
e.g., aluminum. FLIR Systems provides P/N T198349 (base support) for this purpose,
but other base supports or heat sinks can be used.
The use of the base support is also strongly recommended in order to minimize tempera-
ture drift of the infrared detector in the camera.
If the camera unit is to be permanently mounted on the application site, certain steps
have to be taken. The camera unit might need to be enclosed in a protective housing
and, depending on the ambient conditions (e.g., temperature), the housing may need to
be cooled by means of water or air. In very dusty conditions the installation might also
need to have a stream of pressurized air directed at the lens, in order to prevent dust
build-up.
When mounting the camera unit in harsh environments, every precaution should be tak-
en when it comes to securing the unit. If the environment exposes the unit to severe vi-
brations, there may arise a need to secure the mounting screws by means of Loctite or
another industrial brand of thread-locking liquid, as well as to dampen the vibrations by
mounting the camera unit on a specially designed mounting base.
For further information regarding mounting recommendations and environmental enclo-
sures, contact FLIR Systems.
The camera is typically powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet). A PoE injector and
cable kit are available from FLIR Systems. See the part numbers below.
