Description

The ZOOM V2 series thermal imaging monocular is a thermal imaging handheld product integrating thermal observation, hotspot tracking, photographing and video recording, Wi-Fi connection, etc. The dual-FOV lens enables fast manual FOV switchover. You can use the wide FOV for target search, and then use the narrow FOV for target confirmation after identifying a target. This enormously facilitates the target search. Adopting the principle of thermal imaging, it does not need external light sources and is not affected by strong light. You can use it to observe objects hidden behind such obstacles as branches, tall grass, and shrubs, regardless of the night or the day with harsh weather (such as rain, snow, fog, and haze). It can be widely applied in night hunting, observation, geographical positioning, searching, and rescuing operations.

  • After the update is installed, the device will restart automatically.

Technical Inspection

Perform a technical inspection to check the following items each time before you use the device:

  • Exterior of the device (no crack on the enclosure).
  • Lens and eyepiece (no crack, oil, stain, or other sediments)
  • Status of the rechargeable battery (fully charged in advance) and electrical contact (no salinization or oxidation).

Maintenance

The maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and includes the following steps:

  • Wipe the surface of metal and plastic parts to clear off dust and dirt with a cotton cloth. Silicone grease may be used for cleaning process.
  • Clean the electric contacts and battery slots on the device using a non-greasy organic solvent.
  • Check the glass surface of the eyepiece and lens. If necessary, clear off the dust and sand on the lens (it is perfect to use a non-contact method). Use a specialized wiping tool and solvent to clean the optical surfaces.

Troubleshooting

The following table lists all problems that are likely to occur during device operation. Check and address problems by referring to this table. If faults not included in this table occur or you cannot fix the fault, return the device to the vendor or supplier for troubleshooting.

Faults Possible Causes Solutions
The    thermal    imaging          monocular cannot start. The battery is out
of charge Charge the battery
The device cannot be powered by an external power supply The USB cable is
damaged Replace the USB cable
The external power supply is insufficient If necessary, check the external

power supply
Images are too dark| The display is not bright enough| Adjust the display brightness
The image quality is poor or the detection range shortens| These problems are likely to occur when you use the device in harsh weather (such as snow, rain, and fog).
The device cannot connect to a smartphone or computer| The Wi-Fi password is incorrect| Enter the correct password
There are too many Wi-Fi networks in the range of the device, which may cause interference| To enable stable network access, you are advised to move the device to an area with a limited number of Wi-Fi networks, or an area without Wi-Fi coverage
Wi-Fi signals are lost or interrupted.| The device is beyond Wi-Fi coverage. There is blocking (such as concrete walls) between the device and the receiver.|

Move the device to a place where you can receive Wi-Fi signals.

When the device is used at a low temperature, the imaging quality is poorer than  that  at  normal temperature.| At temperatures above 0°C, the temperature rise varies with the observed objects (environment and background) due to different heat conductivity coefficients. As a result, high-temperature contrast occurs and the image quality is better.

At low temperatures, the observed targets (background) usually cool down to a similar temperature because of reduced temperature contrast. Therefore, the image quality (details in particular) is poor, which is a characteristic of thermal imaging devices.
