1.Safety Information
WARNING
1.Before using the cleanser, make sure you read all applicable material safety data
sheets (MSDS) and warning labels on cleanser containers.
2.Do not use too long screws when installing the front/rear mounting bracket, which
may damage the thermal camera.
3.It is prohibited to place the product in a high temperature above 70°C or in a low
temperature below-45 °C.
4.It is forbidden to disassemble or refit the infrared thermal camera at will.
CAUTION
1.No matter there is a lens cover or not, do not point the infrared thermal camera
towards strong light or equipment with laser radiation. This will affect the accuracy of
the thermal camera and even damage the detector in the thermal camera.
2.Do not use the product under conditions that doesn’t match the environmental
requirements. For specific use environment requirements, see the product parameter
table.
3.Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the camera, the cables, or other
items.
4.Be careful when you clean the infrared lenses. The lens has an anti-reflective
coating which is easily damaged. Damage to the infrared lens can occur with too
much force or cleaning with rough objects such as tissues.

4.Quick Start Guide
Please follow the steps:
1. After installing the thermal camera in the desired position, use the cable to connect
the thermal camera and the computer normally. There are two power supply
methods for APEX 200. Connect the device to the PoE port of the power supply
through the M12 8-pin adapter cable or connect to the DC power supply through
the M12 12-pin adapter cable. Connect APEX 200 to the network, and wait for 2
minutes after powering on. The power indicator light is steady blue and the network
indicator light flashes green, indicating that the network connection is normal.
2. Modify the computer network segment to be the same with that of thermal camera.
The specific path is "Control Panel"-"Network and Internet"-"Network and Sharing
Center"-"Change Adapter Options"-"Ethernet"-" Properties"-"Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" - "Use the following IP address"-set the IP address to
192.168.1.xxx.
3. After the power is on for 30 minutes, the temperature measurement, monitoring
and analysis can be carried out through the web terminal of the computer. For web
instructions, please refer to APEX 200 Online Dual-spectrum Thermal Camera
Web Client Operation Manual.

6.Mechanical Installation
The front and back of the thermal camera are equipped with mounting interfaces, which can be installed
with screws after the holes are punched with the auxiliary stickers in the package. In addition, we also
provide two optional forms of front and back installation.
WARNING
Do not use too long screws in case of damaging the thermal camera.
The maximum hole depth of the front shell is 10mm, and the maximum hole depth of
the rear shell is 4mm.
It’s normal that the thermal camera will generate heat during operation. In order to sufficiently dissipate
the heat, it is suggested that the back shell of the thermal camera should be fixed on a metal object to
minimize the temperature drift of the infrared detector in thermal camera.
