USER INSTRUCTIONS
Our Thermal Imaging hood gives any adult Ruth Lee Water Rescue Manikins instant thermal imaging capabilities in the water. For use in sea and airborne search and rescue.
6Ah Battery
The batteries used with the Ruth Lee Thermal Imaging Hood are Li-Ion cells,
with a high discharge current. The battery is designed to supply power to the
Ruth Lee Ltd Thermal Image Hood and to be fully waterproof so can be safely
used in wet environments.
The Total power of connected devices to the battery must not exceed 100W.
Those devices must be designed to be powered with 12V input.
The battery is equipped with a number of safety features to protect against
over discharge, overcharge, overload and short circuit. On the enclosure there
is an E/O cord connector (for use in wet environments), piezo switch and
overpressure valve.
One touch is enough to turn the battery on, which is indicated by the built-in
blue LED on the EO cord connector.
To comply with IATA transport regulations, the 6 Ah battery is shipped with an
initial low charge. Please plug the battery into the supplied charger and
leave to fully charge. Please note the initial charge may take upwards of 4-5
hours. Once battery is fully charged and disconnected from the charger, it
will remain on. If you do not plan to use it immediately, please remember to
switch it off by pressing the piezo switch on the top of the battery.

STEP 2
Pull the hood over the head of the adult rescue manikin. It will be a snug
fit, however there is sufficient stretch in the material to do this. A press
stud fastens the chin strap in place.
STEP 3
To attach the holster, place the strap and pouch around the manikin waist,
then the second strap reaches up the front of the manikin is secured around
the neck of the manikin.

Place the battery in the pouch and the lead is secured in place using the
Velcro tabs on the strap going up the front of the manikin.
STEP 5
Connect the lead from the hood to the lead from the battery and secure any
loose cable inside the overalls of the manikin.
HOW TO USE YOUR THERMAL IMAGING HOOD
Once connected, you can keep the battery safely in the storage pouch provided. This will keep the battery secure in the water. The battery should last for between 1 -2 hours depending on water temperature.
