thinners or other flammable substances to clean or
service the IR camera.
The use of these substances may cause a fire.
- Remove the power cord at regular intervals and wipe
away any dust and dirt that collects on the plug, around
the the power outlet and the surrounding area.
In dust-filled, humid or greasy environments, the
dust that collects around the plug over long peri-
ods of time may become saturated with humidity
and short-circuit and cause a fire.
- Do not grip or touch the power cord with wet hands.
If you grip or touch the power cord with wet hands,
you are in severe danger of receiving an electric
shock. Pull out the cord at the plug only. Do NOT tug
at the cord. If you pull out the plug by the cord, you
run a severe risk of damging the wires or insulation
which could in turn lead to a real danger of fire or
electric shock.
- Do not cut, alter or place heavy items on the power
adapter cord.
Any of these actions may cause a short circuit,
which may lead to fire or electric shock.
- Use only the recommended power accessories.

this IR camera may lead to overheating, a deformation
of the camera, fire, electric shock or other hazards.

B - 3 Infrared Camera – Operating Manual EN
- Do NOT place the batteries near a heat source or ex-
pose them to heat or an open flame.
Do NOT immerse in water. Such exposure can lead
to an explosion, fire or an electric shock. The cor-
rosive liquid from a leaking battery can also cause
serious damage and injury.
- Do NOT take apart, alter or apply heat to the batteries.
There is a severe risk of explosion and injury. Immedi-
ately flush any area of the body, including the eyes and
mouth and any clothing, that comes into contact with
the contents of a battery with water. If the eyes and
mouth come into contact with the battery‘s substances,
flush thoroughly with water and seek medical help
immediately.
- Do NOT drop and prevent any damage to the battery
as this could damage the battery‘s casing.
This could cause the battery to leak and cause
serious injury.
- Do NOT short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic
object, such as key holders.
This could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.
- Before you disposing of your batteries, cover the
terminal with tape or other insulators to prevent di-
rect contact with other objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials
in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions. Dis-
pose of the batteries in specialised 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 the power outlet after recharging
and when the IR camera is not in use to avoid fires
and other hazards.
Non-stop operation use over a long period of time
may cause the device to overheat and deform, resul-
ting 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 properly plugged in.
The battery charger can vary according to different
regions.
- Please exercise due caution when attaching the sepa-
rately available tele and close-up lens.
If the lens becomes detached it may shatter and the
glass splinters could cause injury.
- If your camera is used over a longer period, the IR
camera housing may become warm.
Please take care when operating the IR camera over
a longer period as this may experience a burning
Camera Malfunctions.
Camera Malfunctions
How to prevent your camera from malfunctioning.
- Avoid any damage to the IR camera’s detector.
- Avoid condensation
Moving the IR camera rapidly between hot and cold
environments may cause condensation (water drop-
lets) to form on surfaces both inside and on the out-
side of the camera.
This can be avoided by placing the IR camera in the
plastic case and allowing it to gradually adjust to the
change in temperature before removing it from the
case again.
- When condensation forms inside the camera.
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect any
condensation. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the IR camera. Remove the SD card and the battery
or a disconnect the camera from the mains and wait
until the moisture has evaporated completely before
resuming use.
- Storing over a longer period
If you are not planning on using your camera for a longer
period, remove the battery from the IR camera or the
battery charger and store in a safe place. If you store
the camera without previously removing the battery,
then the battery will run down.

03. PREPARING THE IR CAMERA
Charging the Battery
Proceed as follows when charging the battery for the
first time. This procedure also applies for all subse-
quent charging cycles, which have to be carried out
when the symbol showing that the battery power is
too low lights up in the display.
1. Position the edge of
the charger so that
it is on the same le-
vel as the line on the
battery and insert the
battery in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
2. Attach the power
cord to the battery
charger and plug the
other end into a po-
wer outlet.
• The charge indicator lights up red while the battery
is charging and lights up green when charging is
complete.
ATTENTION: It is extremely important
that you ensure that the first charging
cycle lasts longer than 5 hours but not
longer than 7 hours. Only this will ensure
that the Li-ion cells are fully activated!
Please also ensure that you only use a
suitable charger to charge your battery.
• When the charging cycle has been completed, discon-
nect the charger from the mains supply and remove
the battery.
• Your camera is equipped with a lithium ion battery
which does not have to be fully discharged before it
can be recharged. The battery does, however, have a
limited life and can be recharged approximately 300x.
We therefore recommend that, as a rule, you only re
charge the battery when it is exhausted or nearly
exhausted.
Charging times will vary according to the surrounding
humidity and battery charge status.
Inserting the Battery / SD Card
Insert the battery into the camera as follows:
1. Check that the power is off
and open the battery cover
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert the battery in the
direction of the arrow.
3. Insert the SD card in the
direction of the arrow.
Remove the battery pack when the camera
is not in use.
The SD Card must be formatted in
FAT32. Otherwise the IR camera may not
recognize the memory.

Isotherm alarm
The alarm threshold value can be set between 1 and 100
and describes the proportion (in %) between 1/100 and
100/100 of the area of the LCD, eg. the isotherm range
is between 35°C and 40°C and the Iso-Alarm is 100. In
this case the alarm is triggered when 100% of the area
shown in the LCD is between 35°C and 40°C and the
whole area of the LCD is correspondingly “isotherm”- co-
loured. If the alarm threshold value is set, for example, at
40, the alarm will be triggered when 40% of the area of
the LCD is “isotherm”- coloured.
