2.0 Regulatory Information
2.1 Declaraon of Conformity
The EC Declaraon of Conformity for your model of ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is supplied as a separate document on
your Product Documents CD-ROM.
2.2 Safe Disposal
This symbol indicates the requirement for a separate waste collecon for electronic equipment, baeries and
accumulators. All ISG INFRASYS products displaying this symbol must be disposed of or recycled in accordance
with EU Direcves 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2006/66/EC (baeries).
This procedure is described as follows:
Upon reaching the end of its useful life, the thermal imager must be returned to Infrared Systems Group for suitable
disposal under the WEEE direcves. ISG INFRASYS will arrange collecon at our expense, when noed that the item is no
longer required.
Accessory items requiring safe disposal, including baery packs, can be disposed of locally under the regulatory direcves
of your local authority.
2.3 Export Obligaons
This infrared camera is considered dual-use military equipment and is export controlled under DOC CCL 6a003. It is a
criminal act to export this camera and any of its components thereof outside the United States without obtaining an
approved export license.
If you wish to export these items, please nofy ISG / INFRASYS for assistance in obtaining the proper export documentaon.
2.4 Safety Warnings and Exclusions
All users of ISG INFRASYS thermal imagers must read the following safety warnings and exclusions carefully.
1) ISG INFRASYS thermal imagers must only be used by personnel familiar with the usage and limitaons of a
thermal imaging device, including a general understanding of thermal images and how they are interpreted. It is
recommended that the user has gained experience with its usage in simulated emergency condions, such as a
controlled live burn situaon. Usage of the ISG INFRASYS thermal imager by unauthorized, unfamiliar or untrained
users in a hazardous atmosphere may result in injury or death.
2) The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is not life support equipment and should not be used as such.
3) The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager provides a thermal image in normal vision-impairing condions and is designed
to augment any of your exisng Standard Operang Procedures. Failure to follow Standard Operang Procedures
in a hazardous atmosphere may result in disorientaon, injury or death, in the unlikely event that the equipment
should fail.
4) Always perform a visual check on the equipment prior to use to validate that it has not been damaged or degraded.
5) Never use the ISG INFRASYS thermal imager as the sole source of navigaon. If system failure occurs, you may
become disoriented or lost in a hosle environment, which could result in injury or death.
6) The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is a complex, electro-opcal piece of equipment and, just like any other piece of
machinery or electronic system, is subject to potenal failures. Should a failure occur, the user will no longer have
access to the thermal images provided by the thermal imager. Taccal usage of this equipment must not deviate
from Standard Operang Procedures used by personnel who do not have the benet of the equipment.

5
7) While every eort has been made to ensure that your ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is both tough and reliable,
the thermal imager is a sophiscated electro-opcal system that will fail if it is abused or exposed to environments
beyond its design envelope.
8) Repeated exposure to high temperature environments without adequate periods for the unit to self-cool may
result in degradaon or loss of the thermal image, or damage to the internal components. Be sure to allow
adequate cool-down periods between high temperature exposures.
9) The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager will not provide images through glass, water, or shiny objects. These surfaces
act like reecve mirrors to the system.
10) The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager will not provide thermal images underwater.
11) Baeries supplied with the ISG INFRASYS thermal imager have been selected for specic performance values.
Replacement baeries must be obtained ONLY from an authorized ISG INFRASYS service center. In addion:
• Never try to dispose of the baery pack by burning or through exposure to a heang device such as a
microwave oven – it could explode and cause injury.
• Never try to disassemble, repair or otherwise tamper with a baery pack.
• Never short-circuit the baery pack by contacng the terminals with a metal object.
• Never puncture the baery pack with a sharp object or strike with a hammer or other object.
12) Users should be conscious of the baery life. Only enter a hazardous environment when a full baery charge is
indicated on the baery charge indicator.
13) Failure to exit a hosle environment immediately on observaon of the low baery warning may result in system
failure in a hosle environment, which could result in injury or death.
14) The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager must be serviced only by authorized personnel. The thermal imager contains
high voltage components and therefore, the user should never remove the cover due to risk of shock.

3.2 Charging the Baery
Informaon
All Baeries require a 14-hour charge cycle before the product’s rst use. Upon inserng the baery into the charger, a
short delay may occur prior to the iniaon of the charging sequence.
WARNING

1) Press the Power buon. LED lights connuously.
2) Start-up screen is displayed, signifying that the start-
up sequence has been iniated.
3) Live thermal image is displayed with a DTM readout
given in the boom right corner to signify the thermal
imager is operang in Normal Imaging Mode.

4.4 Focus Range
This product has an approximate focus range of 3 . (1.0
metre) to innity (∞).
This means that objects that are imaged from less than 3 .
away may appear slightly blurred on the display.
4.5 Over-Temperature Warning
This indicator ( ) signies that the thermal imager’s internal electronics have reached temperatures outside normal
operang range, and therefore the thermal imager will shut down to preserve its life.
The thermal imager’s Over-Temperature Warning indicator will be displayed 30-seconds before the shutdown sequence
is iniated.
4.6 About Intelligent Focus
The Intelligent Focus feature enhances the thermal imager’s usability by enabling the user to opmise it’s imaging
performance based on the surrounding environment.
A trained and experienced user can enhance his vision by forcing the camera to operate in what he feels is the most
appropriate Sensivity Mode seng for a specic environment, at a specic me.
The thermal imager will automacally select what it believes to be the most appropriate Sensivity Mode, unless the user
chooses to override this seng. The user selects an alternave Sensivity Mode by simply poinng the thermal imager’s
crosshair at the desired object.
4.7 Intelligent Focus Sensivity Modes
High Sense Mode
This mode is automacally acvated when objects in its eld
of view are at room temperature or cooler. For example,
when you acvate your thermal imager and look around the
re staon, it will most likely be operang in High Sensivity
Mode. Likewise, High Sensivity Mode is automacally
selected when you are searching or navigang in a cold
smoke-lled basement.
Mid Sense Mode
This mode is automacally acvated when the temperature
of objects in its eld of view is elevated. This mode is
automacally acvated when there are objects in the eld of
view that are generally greater than 150°F or 65°C.
1000+ Plus Mode
This mode is automacally selected when the enre eld of
view exceeds 475°F or 240°C, or when the crosshair in the
center of the viewing screen is directed to objects that are
generally greater than 475°F or 240°C. While operang in
this mode, the thermal imager is capable of imaging objects
that are in excess of 2000°F or 1000°C.

4.8 Color Reference Bar
The Color Reference Bar provides a visual indicaon of
the range of scene temperatures detected. It is displayed
on the right-hand edge of the screen and provides a point
of reference for the user to quickly idenfy the dierent
temperature ranges in the scene.
4.9 Direct Temperature Measurement
The Direct Temperature Measurement (DTM) feature gives a temperature readout of a xed point on the screen. The DTM
feature is accurate to ±5° for 32°F - 200°F (0°C - 100 °C), and ±10% for 201°F - 2000°F (100°C- 1000°C).
Informaon
The measured temperature is based on an assumed target emissivity of 0.95.
The measurement indicated is not a measure of air temperature.
Unless otherwise specied at the me of order, the unit of measurement (i.e Celsius or Fahrenheit) is preset at the factory
to the normal standard for the designated country.
