The bottom of HOLO series is equipped with a quick-release fixture, which, with simple and convenient operation, can be quickly installed on the picatinny rail for fixing. The specific method is as follows:

1. First adjust the clamping pressure plate to a proper position through the nut (5);
2. Then put the HOLO device fixture (9) in a proper position of the picatinny rail, and pull back the wrench (10) to clamp the rail.

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 screen (no crack, oil, stain, or other sediments)
• Status of the battery (fully charged in advance) and electrical contact (no salinization or oxidation).

Product Maintenance

The device must be maintained in the following ways at least twice each year.

• Wipe the surface of metal and plastic parts to clear off dust and dirt by using a cotton cloth. Apply silicone grease if required.
• Use non-greasy organic solvent to wash the electric contact and slot of the battery.
• Check the glass surface of the screen and lens. If necessary, clear off the dust and sand on the lens (preferably using 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. Inspection and repair should be conducted according to the suggestions in the 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. The following table lists all problems that are likely to occur during device operation.

The    thermal    imager

cannot start.

| The battery is out of charge.| Replace battery
The device cannot be powered   by   using 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 unclear, vertical lines are present,         or        the

background is not even.

|

Calibration is required.

|

Calibrate the images as per the user manual.

Images are too dark.

| The display

enough.

| is| not| bright|

Adjust the display brightness.

---|---|---|---|---|---

Icons    are    clear    but images are blurry.

| The lens is not focused.| Rotate the lens focus knob to adjust

the focus.

The inner or outer optical surface of the lens is dusted or iced.| Wipe the outer optical surface by using a soft cotton cloth or leave the device to dry in a warm and dry

environment for more than 4 hours.

The    observed    target disappears.| Glass and other crystalline objects may cover the field of

view.

| Find the glass and other crystalline objects from the field of view and

move them out of the field of view.

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).

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.
