Thermal Imaging Cameras
Q: What is Thermal Imaging Technology?
A: In short, thermal imaging is the process
of using the temperature of an object to
produce an image. Thermal imagers work
by detecting and measuring the amount
of infrared radiation that is emitted
and reected by objects or people to
visually render temperature. A thermal
camera makes use of a device known as a
microbolometer to pick up this energy just
outside the range of visible light, and project
it back to the viewer as a clearly dened
image.
Q: What are “Heat Signatures”?
A: In the simplest terms, a heat signature
is the visible representation of the exterior
temperature of an object or person.
Q: What is that clicking noise?
A: There’s no need to worry, this is simply
the noise your camera makes while you are
shifting it between dierent elds of view.
The noise you are hearing is the camera
focusing and calibrating the image to achieve
the highest resolution possible.
Q: How long does the Battery last?
A: Reveal FirePro will provide up to 3.5
hours of imaging time with a full charge. It is
recommended that your battery be at least
40% to achieve optimal performance.

Q: From how far away can I use the Reveal
FirePRO?
A: Reveal FirePro will provide up to 3.5
hours of imaging time with a full charge. It is
recommended that your battery be at least
40% to achieve optimal performance.
Q: What is fast frame?
A: FastFrame, (FF) is an advanced frame
rate featured on the Reveal FirePRO, which
exceeds15 Hz, and makes image movement
appear more seamless. The faster the FPS,
the less choppiness your image will have.
Since these devices are able to process
images so quickly, they are subject to
U.S.EAR export regulations, and may be
unavailable for shipping do to regional
restrictions.

Q: How do I enable/disable the
temperature color bar?
A: When you press the CENTER button,
you’ll notice several icons that appear on the
bottom and top of your screen. The rst is a
temperature range that helps signify colors
with numerical values that correspond to the
colors you’re seeing. The second is a reading
located in a small grey box that displays
temperature data of whatever the reticle is
centered over, along with an icon showing
the current battery power. To cycle these
functions between ‘on’ and ‘o’, simply press
the CENTER button twice.
Q: How do I access/change language on my

(-20 to 85C) Up to 10 minutes.
Operating Temp (2 min): -4 to 225F
(-20 to 107C) Up to 2 minutes.
Q: What are the 3 modes for?
A: Color is the default mode for this device,
but is seldom used in the eld and is
present simply to demo thermal imaging to
third party observers.
Fire mode displays an image in shades of
black and grey which turn bright orange/
red when areas of extreme heat are
present. This mode is specically designed
for locating hotspots in re during 360 size-
ups and Overhaul.
Survey is a monochromatic lter of
dierent shades of blue which turn white
around warmer areas. This mode is optimal
for helping locate downed personnel and
victims during search and rescue.
