01. READ THIS FIRST
Test Shots
Before you try to shoot important subjects, we high-
ly recommend that you shoot several trial images to
ensure that the IR camera is operating and being ope-
rated correctly.
Please note that Trotec, its subsidiaries and affiliates,
and its distributors are not liable for any consequen-
tial damages arising from any malfunction of an IR
camera or accessory that results in the failure of an
image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format
that is machine-readable.
Warning Against Copyright Infringement!
Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read
and understand the safety precautions described
below. Always ensure that the IR camera is operated
correctly.
The safety precautions noted on the following pages
are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct
operation of the IR camera and its accessories to pre-
vent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and
equipment.
Warnings
Read on to learn about using IR camera properly.
- Avoid damaging eyesight.
Do not trigger the laser pointer in human or
animal eyes. Exposure to the laser produced by
the laser pointer may damage eyesight.
- Do not disassemble.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of
the equipment that is not expressly described in this
guide.
- Stop operating immediately in case of 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. Ensure that smoke and fume
emissions have ceased.
- Stop operating immediately if it is dropped or the
casing is damaged.
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.
- Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene,
thinners or other flammable substances to clean
the IR camera.
The use of these substances may lead to fire.
- Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and
wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the
exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area.
In dust, humid or greasy environments, the dust that
collects around the plug over long periods of time
may become saturated with humidity and produce/
cause short-circuits, leading to fire.
- 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 fle-
xible portion of the cord may damage or expose the
wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires
and electrical shocks.
- Do not cut, alter or place heavy items on the power
adapter cord.
Any of these actions may cause an electrical short
circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.
- 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.

B - 3 Operating manual – Infrared camera
- Do not place the batteries near a heat source or ex-
pose them to direct flame or heat.
Neither should you immerse them in water. Such
exposure may damage the batteries and lead to the
leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock,
explosion or serious injury.
- Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to
the batteries.
There is a serious risk of injury due to explosion.
Immediately flush with water any area of the body,
including the eyes and mouth, or clothing, that comes
into contact with the inner contents of a battery.
In case of contact of the eyes or mouth with these
substances, immediately flush with water and seek
medical assistance.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe
impacts that could damage the casings.
It could lead to leakage and injury.
- Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic
objects,such as key holders. It could lead to overheat-
ing, burns and other injuries.
- Before you discard a battery, cover the terminal with
tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact
with other objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials
in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions. Dis-
card the batteries in specialized waste facilities if
available in your area.
- Use only recommended batteries and accessories.
Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this
equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting
in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.
- Disconnect the compact power adapter from both
the IR camera and power outlet after recharging
and when the IR camera is not in use to avoid fires
and other hazards. Continuous use over a long period
of time may cause the unit to overheat and distort,
resulting in fire.
- Do not use the battery charger or compact power
adapter if the cable or plug is damaged, or if the plug
is not fully inserted into the power outlet.
The battery charger varies according to your region.
- Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately
sold tele-lens, close-up lens.
If you loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards
may cause an injury.
- If your camera is used for an extended period, the IR
camera body may become warm.
Please take care when operating the IR camera for an
extended period as your hands may experience a bur-
ning sensation.
Prevent Malfunction
Read on to learn about preventing malfunction of IR
camera.
- Avoid damaging the detector of the IR camera
- Avoid condensation related problems
Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold
temperatures may cause condensation (water drop-
lets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the IR camera in the
plastic case (bundle) and letting it adjust to tempe-
rature changes slowly before removing it from the
case.
- If condensation forms inside the IR camera.
Stopusingthecamera immediatelyifyoudetectconden-
sation. Continued use may damage the IR camera.
Remove the PC card, and battery or a household power
source, from the IR camera and wait until moisture
evaporates completely before resuming use.
- Extended storage
When not using the IR camera for extended periods of
time, remove the battery from the IR camera or battery
charger and store the IR camera in a safe place. Storing
the IR camera for extended periods with battery in
place will run down the battery.

This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need
to complete use or discharge it before recharging. It
can be recharged at any time. However, since the
maximum number of charge cycles is approximately
300 (battery life), it is recommended to recharge the
battery pack only after having discharged it completely
to extend battery life.
Charging times will vary according to the surrounding
humidity and battery pack charge state.

ned. Then Go to „Monitor“ and choose the IR-camera
model that should be connected to the computer. In
case of an EC-camera you do not need to turn off the
computer or camera when making this connection. The
EC-cameras can be connected via the multifinctional

to your computer manual or your administrator for more
information regarding the location of the USB port. The
USB-Port of the camera can only be used in combinati-
on with the optional USB Real-Time software.
If using an IC-/Hotfind-camera please follow this
chronological order:
Connect one end of the USB cable to your PC.
Power up the camera and wait several seconds until
the vertical colour bars appear on the LCD.
Connect the other end of your USB cable to the USB
port of your infrared camera while the colour bars are
still on the display.
As soon as the camera has been identified you will be
automatically requested to install the drivers. Proceed
as described in the following passages
Installing the driver (Only for Real-Time Software/
optional)
