Heat Color Reference Bar
Indicates scene temperature (see Super Red Hot Colorization).

Sensitivity (Gain) Modes
The imager automatically switches between low and high sensitivity (gain) modes based on ambient scene temperatures in order to protect the thermal sensor from overload in high-temperature situations. The low sensitivity mode activates in high-heat situations, and deactivates as ambient heat decreases (i.e. lower temperatures). The low sensitivity mode indicator consists of a green triangle located in the upper left of the viewing area.

Overheat Indicator
A visual warning flashes which indicates to the user that the thermal imager might cease to operate due to internal overheating. The imager’s internal electronics remain functionally useful within the range of -20° C to 85° C.

(3) Power off the imager during charging.

Temperature Bar
The Temperature Bar is a bar-graph style temperature gauge in the right portion of the display. The bar/numeric indicator displayed represents the approximate temperature of the object viewed within the Temperature Measurement Zone in the center of the display. Accuracy of indication is dependent on numerous factors including the distance from the object being viewed (accuracy decreases as distance increases) and its emissivity (heat radiation properties). Your Bullard QXT is factory-calibrated to emissivity corresponding with normal construction materials. Objects with emissivity varying greatly from this (particularly reflective objects such as metals and shiny materials) reduces accuracy of the temperature indication.

Numeric Temperature Indicator
Displays next to the Temperature Bar and indicates the measured temperature of an object in the Temperature Measurement Zone (center of the display).

NOTE:
The indicators provide a quick reference to compare objects of similar emissivity in order to assist with identification of intense heat sources. Due to the inherent issues with accuracy, use these features with caution and verify indicated heat levels through traditional means whenever possible.

Super Red Hot (SRH) Colorization
The Bullard QXT utilizes easy-to-use Super Red Hot (SRH) colorization which displays heat levels in yellow, orange, and red hues. This feature identifies specific heat layers, thus alerting firefighters to areas of intense heat through visual awareness of the hottest objects in a scene. The SRH feature automatically adds colorization at temperatures above 500° F.

SRH colorization engages automatically at temperatures 500° F or greater. Temperatures below 500° F (260° C) remain grayscale (white hot polarity). Objects between 500° F (260° C) and 799° F (426° C) appear yellow; objects 800° F (427° C) to 999° F (537° C) appear orange; objects 1000° F (538° C) or hotter appear red. The SRH overlay uses remains semi-transparent allowing the scene detail such as thermal flows to remain visible under the SRH colorization.

SRH has a Heat Color Reference Bar adjacent to the Temperature Bar. The temperature is illustrated by the filled height of the Temperature Bar and by the Numeric Temperature Indicator below the bar. The color reference bar is a visual indicator to quickly allow the user to determine the meaning of the color displayed on the screen. For example, if the Temperature Measurement Zone is pointed to an object at 1000° F (538º C) the bar fills to the mark located above the 900º F (482º C).

Electronic Thermal Throttle (ETT)
As an optional feature, your Bullard QXT may be equipped with the Electronic Thermal Throttle (ETT), which is a hot-spot indicator ideal for locating hot spots during overhaul and size-up, searching for overheated electrical equipment, finding victims, and clarifying objects in low ambient temperature (non-fire) situations. When engaged, ETT senses the hottest area in the scene and colors it blue. If ETT is engaged while viewing an object /scene and most of the area is the same temperature, a greater amount of the scene is colored blue.

To engage ETT, depress the left button.

“TT**” will appear on the screen. To adjust the tuning of the algorithm, use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. As ETT engages more of the scene, the blue will become lighter in hue to help differentiate objects in the scene. Cycling through the scene and sensitivity adjustment displays the “TT” symbol and a corresponding number in the upper left hand corner of the display. The “TT” indicates “Thermal Throttle” mode. The number (0-99) is a reference point indicating the relative level of ETT engagement; by itself it has no specific meaning. Most of the benefits of the ETT are accomplished with the first few presses of the button. To exit the ETT mode, depress both the LEFT and RIGHT buttons briefly.

Digital Zoom
As an optional feature, your Bullard QXT may be equipped with 2X and 4X digital zoom capability. If present in your unit’s configuration, to enable this functionality, depress both buttons approximately three (3) seconds to engage the zoom function. A second long-press of both buttons will change from 2X to 4X zoom, and a third long-press of both buttons reverts to the Imager’s standard view with no zoom.

SceneCatcher Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
As an optional feature, your Bullard QXT may be equipped with a SceneCatcher DVR.

To activate the DVR, press and hold the right button for approximately three (3) seconds, until a red circle appears on the left side of the display. This indicates recording to the unit’s internal memory. To deactivate the DVR, press and hold the right button until the red circle disappears. To download recorded video, connect the imager to a computer via the Micro USB port on the bottom of the imager. When connected in this manner and powered ON, the internal Secure Digital (SD) card will behave as any other USB mass storage device (i.e. flash key, hard drive, etc).

NOTE:
Upon initial imager startup, the SceneCatcher DVR will not be available for 8 seconds while it initializes. During this time, the red dot will be displayed with an “X” crossing it.

The SceneCatcher DVR has 8 GB of solid state memory, which will store more than 5.5 hours of video. When storage is full, the unit automatically overwrites the oldest file available. Video files are recorded for a maximum of 3 minutes each. That is, if a video being recorded is longer than 3 minutes, it will be stored in 3-minute segment files. To make it easier to manage multiple videos from different Thermal Imagers, the video file names have the following format: AANNNNNN.avi, where AA is an alphabetic combination and NNNNNN is a numeric pattern.

Charging the Battery
Your Bullard QXT’s battery can be charged with one of three charging systems: the included Wireless Desktop Charger, the included USB Wall Charger, or the optional Wireless Truck Mount Charger. To charge a battery in the Desktop or Truck Mount chargers, place the imager on the charger. When seated correctly, a BLUE LED on the right side of the charger indicates a connection with the imager. When the connection has been verified and the battery is charging, the Bullard QXT’s power button LED will pulse RED. When fully charged, the same LED will change to steady GREEN.

NOTE:
More detailed information is available in the user’s manual for these charging devices.

To charge with the USB Wall Charger, open the USB cover located on the rubber boot at the bottom of the display side of the imager. Plug the USB power cord into a dedicated wall outlet using the included AC adapter. When the connection has been verified and the battery is charging, the Bullard QXT’s power button LED will pulse RED. When fully charged, the same LED will change to steady GREEN.

With any charging system, if the Bullard QXT’s internal control software determines that internal temperatures are too high or too low for battery charging, then the power button will flash YELLOW until the imager’s internal temperature stabilizes to a range appropriate for charging. This is normal operation as the battery pack must be at moderate temperatures to support charging. Upon and while charging, the imager’s power button pulses RED, and when fully charged, the LED displays solid GREEN.

NOTE:
If your Bullard QXT has been stored in extremely cold temperatures for an extended period of time, especially with a depleted battery, it may take approximately one minute to start up. To avoid this behavior, Bullard recommends leaving the unit attached to a charging system when not in use.

NOTES ON BATTERY CHARGING:
(1) Connection to a computer via USB is intended for the purpose of downloading video and/or communicating with the imager. Use of the USB computer connection is not recommended for battery charging due to extremely slow charge speed with this method.
(2) The battery’s charging temperature range is 32º F (0°C) to +113º F (45°C).
(3) THE BULLARD QXT’S INTERNAL LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACK IS DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM LIFE WHEN THE BATTERY IS KEPT FULLY CHARGED. BULLARD RECOMMENDS LEAVING THE QXT CONNECTED TO YOUR PREFERRED CHARGING SYSTEM WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE.
(4) Power off the imager during charging.

Hardware Reset Functions

Like most portable electronic devices with internal batteries, the Bullard QXT is equipped with a function which permits a full hardware reset. If the imager appears unresponsive, it may require a hardware reset. To accomplish this, depress and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.

The Bullard QXT is also equipped with a safety feature in the battery system which provides automatic shutoff to protect the electronics if they experience prolonged excessive temperatures. To reset the battery’s safety circuit, plug the imager into the included Bullard USB Power Supply.
