LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship
under normal use and service. The warranty period is two years and begins on the date of
shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty
extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller,
and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's
opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or
abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate
substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has
been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will
be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-
user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on
behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke
authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke re-
serves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when
product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price,
free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke
authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain
return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a de-
scription of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke as-
sumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be re-
turned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure
was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition
of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the prod-
uct’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will pro-
vide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work.
Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the
Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF
DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty,
or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and ex-
clusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is
held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction,
such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

IR FlexCam Thermal Imager
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the IR FlexCam®portable infrared camera (hereafter,
“Camera”).
The IR FlexCam is available in 7 models. The TiR2, Ti40 and Ti45 cameras
use a detector with 160 x 120 resolution. The TiR3, TiR4, Ti50 and Ti55
cameras use a detector with 320 x 240 resolution. The visible light camera
module (VLCM) and IR-Fusion®functions make it easier than ever to manage
and analyze images captured with this system and improve reporting abilities.
The unique control image and IR-Fusion®technology enables you to combine
visible light images—like a normal digital camera—and infrared images
together to create a single image with greatly enhanced detail. This is
especially helpful in low contrast scenes where the temperature differential is
minimal and the infrared image appears to be all one color.
This Guide describes the basic functions of the camera. Refer to the CD for
complete user information.

Safety Information
Use your Camera only as specified in this manual.
A WWarning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause
bodily harm or death.
A WCaution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the camera
or cause permanent loss of data.
WCaution
•To avoid damaging your Camera, treat it with care as you
would any type of precision equipment.
•Your infrared camera is a precision instrument that uses a
sensitive infrared (IR) detector. Pointing your camera
towards highly-intense energy sources—including devices
that emit laser radiation and reflections from these
devices—may adversely affect camera accuracy and may
harm or permanently damage your camera’s IR detector.
•Your camera requires three minutes to warm up before
accurate measurements are available.
*WWarning
•Your camera contains a Class 2 laser pointer. See diagram
in Appendix B of the Users Manual for laser aperture
location.
•To avoid eye damage, do not point laser directly at eye or
indirectly off reflective surfaces.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance or
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous laser radiation exposure.
•Do not use camera in a manner not specified in this
manual or the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.
