OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

P/N 595224-01 Rev E 7/12Page 2 of 32
DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera is a lightweight, highly durable
infrared imaging device that can provide vision enhancement in re ghting and similar
emergency response activities. It is a rugged hand held unit with simple controls that
uses highly sensitive technology capable of recognizing small differences in temperature.
The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera “sees” temperature differences (infrared
radiation) rather than visible light. The camera is available in two versions:
–The GRAYSCALE mode display version shows only shades of gray from black to
white. Warmer objects appear on the display screen as lighter gray to white images
while cooler objects appear darker gray to black. The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal
Imaging Camera operates in two temperature ranges, a Lower and an Upper range.
When viewing hotter objects at temperatures above approximately 200 °F / 93 °C,
the EI icon will appear in the display indicating that the Upper range is in operation.
–The TAC (Temperature Awareness Colorization) mode version displays shades
of gray the same as the GRAYSCALE mode, but objects or areas at elevated
temperatures appear as colors. This version may be an aid in helping re ghters
nd sources of extreme heat. The approximate temperatures at which the colors
appear are as follows:
200 °F to 500 °F (93 °C to 260 °C) – shades of Yellow
501 °F to 800 °F (261 °C to 426 °C) – shades of Orange
801 °F to 1200 °F (427 °C to 649 °C) – shades of Red
The power controls consist of one glove accessible POWER button just below the display
screen which controls power ON/OFF. The display provides information including bat-
tery status and over temperature warning. A digital temperature indicator on the display
screen gives the approximate temperature of the target area at the center of the display.
The temperature is determined by an average of points within the target area. The tem-
perature indicator is available from the factory as either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
The Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery is capable of powering the unit approximately 5 hours
(3.5 hours with TVR). A battery power gauge appearing in the display is standard. The
EAGLE ATTACK Charging System holds the camera and charges both the battery
installed in the camera as well as a second spare battery. The battery charger may be
used on a desk top or may be mounted on the wall or in a vehicle. For vehicle mounting,
the charger may be powered by a 12 volt adapter or may be hard wired into the vehicle
with either 12 or 24 volt supply. In addition, two charging stations may be wired together
and powered from a single AC adapter or up to three units may be wired together if using
the 12 VDC adapter or 12 or 24 VDC source power from a vehicle.
The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera is available with a black housing with
a choice of outer boots in bright RED, BLACK, YELLOW, or ORANGE.
WARNING
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS HAVE UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS.

WARNING
THE EAGLE ATTACK THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA IS A BATTERY OPERATED
ELECTRICAL DEVICE THAT HAS NOT BEEN EVALUATED FOR INTRINSIC SAFETY
AS AN IGNITION SOURCE. THIS DEVICE IS NOT TO BE USED IN A POTENTIALLY
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. USE OF THE EAGLE ATTACK THERMAL IMAGING
CAMERA IN A FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE MAY RESULT IN IGNITION
OF THE ATMOSPHERE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

P/N 595224-01 Rev E 7/12Page 6 of 32
THEORY OF OPERATION
Thermal imaging cameras only show temperature differences between objects and
not an optical image of the objects. Experience and training are required to correctly
interpret the thermal image.
WARNING
THIS IS NOT, NOR IS IT INTENDED TO BE, AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF THE
BEHAVIORS OF INFRARED ENERGY THAT DIFFER FROM VISIBLE LIGHT. USE OF
THIS THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA MUST BE PART OF A COMPLETE TRAINING
PROGRAM. INTERPRETATION OF THE THERMAL IMAGE REQUIRES TRAINING
AND EXPERIENCE. DO NOT USE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA IF YOU HAVE NOT
BEEN THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN ITS USE AND OPERATION. USE OF THIS DEVICE
WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING AND UNDERSTANDING OF ITS OPERATION MAY
CAUSE ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT BASED ON MISINTERPRETATION OF THERMAL
IMAGING INFORMATION WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Interpretation of the thermal image depends on a variety of issues including, but not
limited to the following:
• The thermal imaging camera cannot see through walls. A source of heat behind a
wall will not be evident if it does not heat the wall itself.
• The heat from some high temperature objects or sources of high heat may be
blocked, obscured, or made less distinct in the thermal image display by any of the
following:
– Water mist, spray, or highly saturated fog
– Some chemical substances in a concentrated cloud or vapor
– Extremely dense smoke
– Heated smoke or a layer of heated gases
These are some other circumstances which could result in misinterpretation:
• If a concrete oor and a hole in that oor have the same temperature, there will be
no apparent difference in the thermal image display to indicate the presence of the
hole.
• Visually transparent or reective materials such as glass, shiny plastic, or water
can reect infrared radiation from an actual source of high temperature. The user
must be able to distinguish and identify when the image in the display could be a
reection and not the actual source of high temperature. For example:
– When viewing a window or other shiny surface at an angle, a source of high
temperature reected in the surface will be at some angle opposite and away
from the apparent location.
– When viewing a source of high temperature through a clear window with a ther-
mal imaging camera, the camera display will only show a reection of the user
holding the camera and not the source of high temperature behind the window.
– When viewing a hole lled with water, the thermal imaging camera display will
show a reection of any heat sources above and away from the water surface.
•Molten or boiling substances will appear hot in the thermal image display, but it may
be difcult to identify their physical nature and the hazards they present based on
the thermal image alone.

P/N 595224-01 Rev E 7/12Page 7 of 32
Keep the lens clean while operating the thermal imaging camera.
•Dirt or soot build up on the lens will obscure or reduce the clarity of the thermal
image. Wipe the lens with a glove or cloth as needed. Clean the lens thoroughly
after use.
•Condensation on the lens of the thermal imaging camera will also block the thermal
image and make entire display appear blank. Wipe the lens regularly to remove
accumulated condensation. Use an approved anti-fog preparation on the lens
to reduce the possibility of condensation on the lens.
SEE THE WARNINGS ON PAGES TWO AND THREE OF THIS INSTRUCTION

BATTERY SAFETY WITH THE LI-ION BATTERY PACK
HANDLING
• Use care when handling the lithium-ion battery pack used with the EAGLE ATTACK
Thermal Imaging Camera.
• Always inspect batteries before use. The electrolyte contained within the lithium-ion
cells can cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. A ruptured
battery cell can vent hazardous air contaminants, including corrosive or ammable
vapors. All precautions should be taken to limit exposure to the electrolyte vapor.
If the battery has a damaged or broken battery housing, remove the battery from
service and tag for proper disposal and replacement.
• Never try to open or service a battery pack. There are no user serviceable parts
in the battery pack.
• Dispose of depleted or damaged batteries in accordance with federal, state, and
local environmental regulations.
• If the contacts of the battery are ever shorted by contact with something metal, an
internal circuit breaker will open making the battery inoperative. Simply place the
battery in the charger and charge to reset the circuit breaker and return the battery
to service.
CAUTION
IF THE CONTACTS OF THE BATTERY ARE EVER SHORTED BY CONTACT WITH
SOMETHING METAL, AN INTERNAL CIRCUIT BREAKER WILL OPEN MAKING THE
BATTERY INOPERATIVE. SIMPLY PLACE THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER AND
CHARGE TO RESET THE CIRCUIT BREAKER AND RETURN THE BATTERY TO
SERVICE.
SHIPPING
• Shipping restrictions may apply to the lithium-ion batteries used with the EAGLE
ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera. For DOT purposes, the battery pack used is
considered a Small size secondary (rechargeable) battery.
• Follow the appropriate regulations for shipment. Package batteries securely. Weight
limits apply to batteries and to batteries with equipment for passenger and/or cargo
aircraft. Pursuant to 49 CFR 173.185, all shipments of hazardous materials must
comply with packaging regulations based on the recommendations made by the
United Nations. There can be substantial nes and penalties for non-compliance.
CHARGING
• Before using the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera, charge the battery
according to the USE OF THE CHARGING SYSTEM section of this instruction. A
battery may be charged either attached to the camera, or in the extra battery bay
on the charger.
• Leaving a battery in the charger after it is fully charged will not harm the battery.
• Although the camera is intended to operate in potentially severe environments, avoid
storing or charging the battery in extremes of temperature, hot or cold. Charge and/
or store the battery pack in a dry location at normal room temperature (no more than
77°F/ 25°C). It takes a longer time to charge the battery in cold temperatures. And
storing or charging the battery in high temperatures can degrade the battery.
• Through repeated use and recharging, a battery will eventually break down and
may not provide the duration of service it did when it was new.

4. The EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera is available in two versions:
–The GRAYSCALE version display screen shows only shades of gray from black
to white. Warmer objects appear on the display screen as lighter gray to white
images while cooler objects appear darker gray to black. The EAGLE ATTACK
Thermal Imaging Camera operates in two temperature ranges, a Lower and an
Upper range. When viewing hotter objects at temperatures above approximately
200 °F / 93 °C, the EI icon will appear in the display indicating that the Upper
range is in operation.
–The TAC (Temperature Awareness Colorization) mode version displays shades
of gray the same as the GRAYSCALE mode, but objects or areas at elevated
temperatures appear as colors. The approximate temperatures at which the colors

In the TAC mode version, as with the GRAYSCALE version, the EI icon will appear
in the upper left corner of the display indicating that the camera has switched into
the Upper temperature range. Refer to the TEMPERATURE INDICATOR section
of this instruction for details.
5. The Display Screen will periodically update the image to assure that the image
remains clear. This will momentarily freeze the image in the display.
6. To turn OFF the EAGLE ATTACK Thermal Imaging Camera, press and hold the

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The TEMPERATURE INDICATOR provides a small target area in the center of the
display screen and a readout of the approximate temperature of the object contained
by the target area. The temperature is determined by an average of points within the
target area. The temperature of the target area appears as numbers in the lower right
of the display screen. The TEMPERATURE INDICATOR is available from the factory
as degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
TRAINING IS REQUIRED BEFORE USE. DO NOT use the TEMPERATURE INDICA-
TOR readings as exact measurements. Be aware that different materials and different
surface textures will not register temperature readings in the same way. Use the readings
from the TEMPERATURE INDICATOR only to determine relative temperature differ-
ences. Training for this feature must include experience using the TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR in actual incident situations. DO NOT make a critical decision based
solely on a temperature reading.
WARNING
DO NOT USE THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR READINGSAS EXACT MEASUREMENTS.
DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND SURFACE TEXTURES DO NOT REGISTER
TEMPERATURE READINGS IN THE SAME WAY. USE THE TEMPERATURE READINGS
ONLY TO DETERMINE RELATIVE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES. TRAINING FOR
THIS FEATURE MUST INCLUDE EXPERIENCE USING THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
IN ACTUAL INCIDENT SITUATIONS. DO NOT MAKE A CRITICAL DECISION BASED
SOLELY ON A TEMPERATURE READING. FAILURE TO CONSIDER ALL FACTORS
WHEN MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON INFORMATION FROM THE THERMAL
IMAGING CAMERA MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE
WHEN THE EAGLE ATTACK THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA IS POWERED UP, THE
SCREEN WILL DISPLAY THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR ALL THE TIME.
Positioning the cross-hair target over an object seen in the display will register an
approximate temperature of that object on the display. See FIGURE 11.
