1 General Notes
1.1 Intended use
Thank you for choosing the optris®PI infrared camera.
The optris PI calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects
[►7 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plane array) allows a
measurement of an area and will be shown as thermal image using standardized palettes. The radiometric
processing of the picture data enables the user to do a comfortable detailed analysis with the software
PIX Connect.
The PI is a precise instrument and contains an extremely sensitive infrared detector and a high-
quality lens.
The alignment of the camera to intensive energy sources (e.g. devices which emit laser
radiation or reflections of such equipment) can cause an irreparable defect of the infrared
detector. This is also valid if the camera is switched off.
Such kinds of damages are excluded from warranty.
Read the manual carefully before the initial start-up. The producer reserves the right to change
the herein described specifications in case of technical advance of the product.

Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature.
Avoid static electricity, arc welders, and induction heaters. Keep away from very strong EMF
(electromagnetic fields).
In case of problems or questions which may arise when you use the infrared camera, please
contact our service department.
► All accessories can be ordered according to the referred part numbers in brackets [ ].
1.2 Warranty
Each single product passes through a quality process. Nevertheless, if failures occur contact the customer
service at once. The warranty period covers 24 months starting on the delivery date. After the warranty is
expired the manufacturer guarantees additional 6 months warranty for all repaired or substituted product
components. Warranty does not apply to damages, which result from misuse or neglect. The warranty also
expires if you open the product. The manufacturer is not liable for consequential damage or in case of a non-
intended use of the product.
If a failure occurs during the warranty period the product will be replaced, calibrated or repaired without
further charges. The freight costs will be paid by the sender. The manufacturer reserves the right to
exchange components of the product instead of repairing it. If the failure results from misuse or neglect the
user has to pay for the repair. In that case you may ask for a cost estimate beforehand.

1.4 Maintenance
Never use cleaning compounds which contain solvents (neither for the lens nor for the housing).
1.4.1 Cleaning
Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. The lens surface can be cleaned with a soft, humid
tissue (moistened with water) or a lens cleaner (e.g. Purosol or B+W Lens Cleaner).
