Workswell Infrared Camera
Workswell Infrared Cameras („WIC“) are designed and manufactured for easy and user-friendly integration
for all machine vision applications as well as R&D projects. All Workswell Infrared Cameras use the newest
Long Wave Infrared Detector Technology. Customers can choose from three types of detector resolution:
640 x 512 or 336 x 256 pixel format.
WIC are powered directly from USB3 or Ethernet cable instead of external supply adapter. Internal
electronics is protected by metal enclosure. Very low power consumption decreases needs for special
cooling and large camera dimensions. WIC are fully compatible with USB3 and Gigabit Ethernet protocol.
Workswell CorePlayer software automatically detects a camera, configures an address and ensures a
camera connection. All WIC use 14 RAW data format or calculated temperature values. Image can be
shown in different color palletes with interactive side bar and measurement tools. Users can manage
camera parameters such as Gain, NUC, Factory Reset, etc. There is also tutorial application, Linux and
Windows dll libraries and C# application code available. CorePlayer Application Workswell CorePlayer is
included for free of charge in every WIC package.

Warnings
Any interference and noncertified service operations into the product leads to an automatic loss of
warranty.
Notifications
Do not use or store the device in conflict with the storage and operating conditions laid down in this
manual (only for hardware).
Do not point the infrared camera (with or without the lens cover) at strong energy sources, for
example, devices that cause laser radiation, or the sun. This can have an unwanted effect on the
accuracy of the camera. It can also cause damage to the detector in the camera.
Do not use the Workswell WIC in temperatures more than +50°C (+122°F). High temperatures can
cause damage to the camera.
Do not use the Workswell WIC in temperatures less than -15°C (+5°F). Low temperatures can cause
damage to the camera.
Do not apply solvents or equivalent liquids to the cameras, the cables, or other items. Damage to
the items can occur.
Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has an anti-reflective coating which is easily
damaged. Do not use too much force to clean the infrared lens. This can cause damage to the anti-
reflective coating.
The encapsulation rating is only applicable when all the openings on the all components of the
system are sealed with their correct covers, hatches, or caps.
Before using the product, please check that there is no visible damage or malfunction. If there are any
visible signs of damage or other defect on the device, then on no account should it be installed or put into
operation.

Workswell Infrared Camera
Focusing the camera
WFOV Lens
The infrared camera has adjustable focus. You use sharpening mechanism mounted on lens for focusing of
WFOV lens.
In order to focus on short distance,
gently rotate the lens counter-
clockwise. During this movement,
the lens extends from the camera
body. If the lens can rotate too
easily, you probably get on the
edge of the focus range. Trying to
rotate the lens more may cause the
lens to fall out.
In order to focus on long distance
(or infinity) gently rotate the lens
clockwise. During this movement,
the lens retracts to the camera
body. If the lens can rotate too
hard, you probably get on the edge
of the focus range. Trying to rotate
the lens more may cause the lens
to damage.
