to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the IR camera
and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other
persons and equipment.
3、Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power
sources not expressly recommended for this IR camera may lead
to overheating, distortion of the IR camera, fire, electrical shock or
other hazards.
4、Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment
that is not expressly described this guide
5、The power matched with IR camera should satisfy manual criterion.
Please contact our agent or us if you are not sure about the
installing power.
6、Stop operating immediately if it emits smoke or noxious
fumes .Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock.
Immediately turn the IR camera’s power off, remove the IR camera
battery or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Confirm
that smoke and fume emissions have ceased.
7、Stop operating immediately if it dropped or the casing damaged.

2
Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately
turn the IR camera’s power off, remove the IR camera battery or
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
8、Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or
other flammable substances to clean or main the IR camera. The
use of these substances may lead to fire.
9、Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet Handling it with
wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord,
ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the
flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and
insulation, creating the potential for fires and electrical shocks.
10、Do not install camera to the unstable wall and support arm, or
it could lead to injury of people and camera.
11、Please contact us immediately if you meet situations as
follows:
a. The power or control line damaged.
b. Using the wrong voltage and type of power.
c. Cause damage whendropping the camera.
d. The camera occurs functional problems.
e. The camera still working wrong after operating properlyas user
manual.

1.2 Prevent malfunction
Avoid damaging the detector of the IR camera, please read contents
carefully as follows:
1、Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures
may cause condensation (water droplets) on its external and internal
surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the IR camera inthe plastic case(bundle)
and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the case.

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.
Continue to use may damage the IR camera. Wait until moisture
evaporates completely before resuming use.
3、Storage For a Long Time
Please put the camera into a shady and dry condition when without
operating for a long time.
1.3 Maintenance and Support
For more maintenance and other after-sale service, please refer
to the random guarantee card.

2 Preface
Thermal imaging detection technology has been imperative means to
guarantee the safety of industrial production in developed countries. It
is used mainly in many fields such as electrical system, metallurgy,
petrochemical industry, machinery, coal, transportation, firefight,
security, etc. During continuous production task in company, we can
apply thermal imaging detection technology to detect device located
in danger so that avoid stopping procedure of manufacturing and
design. Comparing with the traditional detection method, it is no doubt
that the technology has turned a new leaf in the history of detection
industries.
Thermal imaging technology used widely in all kinds of industries as
follows:
●Detection of electric devices and power transmission line
● Detection of hidden fire in fire fight work
●Rescue and command in fire spot
●Heat leakage and heat analysis of heat channel or heat insulation.
●Heat malfunction locating in an operating train.
●Heat analysis in electronic industry.
●Security surveillance at night in security department.

3 Introduction
SATIR Universal Purpose Core (UPC) is an uncooled long wave
thermal imager core which is highly modular design for thermal product
OEMs or integration with their existing products/systems. With the
multiple optional solutions, image processing and the standard video
output, UPC can be easily integrated in the existing surveillance &
security cameras or CCTV systems, robots, UAVs and vehicles.
SATIR UPC is composed of three parts: the main camera, control
box and optional lenses. It provides high-quality infrared thermal image
signal, analog video output and selectable lens matched with different
field of view. It is also simple to installing and operating.

4 Module introduction
4.1、Main camera
It turns the thermal radiation into visual infrared images, and
realizes relevant function. Its internal structure is consisted of UFPA
detector and processing main board. The system is designed with a
housing which meets IP40 (optional to IP54) encapsulation standards.
4.2、Optional lenses
It collects radiation coming from target and focuses that on the
detector. According to different field of view, lenses can be classified as
two types: telephoto lens and wide-angle lens. The former can focus
long distance and has a narrow FOV, while the later has a wide FOV but
only focus shorter.
4.3、Control box
The control box is the connection between UPC and external device.
Its function is to divide multifunctional port of UPC into each single
output: power input, video output, COM port (RS232), meanwhile it also
can control the menu settings in UPC.

6 Menu option
As a new generation of infrared core product, SATIR UPC
possesses kinds of pseudo-color modes on the base of temperature
measuring function, and contains many characteristics of temperature
measuring and surveillance & security products. It has two types of
menu option: temperature measurement menu; Non-temperature
measurement menu.
6.1 Menu interface
Temp-measurement menu interface：
Max/Min temp tracking spot：Tracking the max/min temp spot on full
screen and showing a cross cursor on the spot as a marker. The value
of max/min temperature present in the top right corner of screen. It
allows only one max/min temperature tracking spot;
Center spot：Measuring the temperature of center spot on entire
screen and showing a cross cursor on it. The value of max/min
temperature present in the top right corner of screen. It allows no more
than one center spot;
Isotherm：Realizing the isotherm analysis on full screen, it contains
three factors: the high temperature, low temperature and isotherm width.
Users can use some color (Green/Red/Black/White) to indicate a
temperature range that belongs to the setting width from the low temp to
high temp. It allows no more than one isotherm analysis;
As shown in below picture:
