Operation Instructions

1. Power On/Off the Device
   After installing the thermal camera in the preferred position, use the cable to connect the thermal camera and the computer as normal. The device pulls power from the computer and powers on when the computer is powered on. Temperature measurement and analysis is most accurate after 10 minutes. Monitoring is available through the computer software (see Chapter 8-2 IR Flash Pro)THE THERMAL IMAGER NEEDS SUFFICIENT TIME TO WARM-UP FOR THE MOST ACCURATE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS AND BEST IMAGE QUALITY. THIS TIME CAN OFTEN VARY BY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IT IS BEST TO WAIT A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES FOR THE DEVICE TO COMPLETELY WARM-UP.
   AFTER POWERING OFF, WAIT TEN SECONDS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO POWER THE DEVICE ON AGAIN.

2. IR Flash Pro
   Software arrives installed on computers and tablets purchased from ICI as complete systems and it will launch automatically on startup. A copy of the software is provided on the Software USB Drive.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Germanium Lens
   Do not use corrosive chemicals on the optical glass components. The germanium window surface is coated with anti-reflection coating. Dust, grease, and fingerprints will produce harmful substances and lead to a decline in performance, or cause scratches. If dirt is found, please use the following methods:

2. Use a blown balloon or a soft brush to clean the lens surface to avoid dust particles scratching the anti-reflection film on lens surface during the wiping process.

3. Use a soft cotton or microfiber cloth or lens wiping paper and dip in distilled water. Gently wipe the lens surface from the middle to the edge, paying attention to not crack the lens, or use too much liquid. If the lens is still not clean, replace the cloth and repeat the wiping process.

4. Disinfecting the Camera Surface
   Do not use corrosive cleaning solutions on the optical glass components. It is recommended to disinfect the camera surface regularly with a non-corrosive sanitizing product. Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning solution. Adhere to the sanitation protocols and cleaning schedule set forth by the employer.

5. Device Calibration
   It is recommended to have the device(s) re-calibrated annually. Contact customer service to schedule maintenance.

6. Storage
   When the equipment is not in use, the device should be placed in a dust-free and moisture-free environment with a stable temperature and humidity.
   DO NOT USE CORROSIVE CLEANING SOLUTIONS ON THE OPTICAL GLASS COMPONENTS. DISINFECT THE CAMERA SURFACE REGULARLY WITH A NON-CORROSIVE SANITIZING PRODUCT. CALIBRATE YOUR DEVICES ANNUALLY. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE.

Troubleshooting

If the user encounters any problems while using the imager, refer to the following options. If the problem persists, disconnect the power and contact the customer support department.

1. The thermal imager does not power on
   • Ensure the cables are plugged in correctly
   • Unplug the cable and plug it back in
   • Power off the device; then, power it back on
   • Power off the computer and power it back on
2. The thermal imager shuts off unexpectedly
   • Ensure the cables are plugged in correctly
3. No thermal image
   • Open the lens cap
   • If the lens is foggy, use professional equipment to clean the lens
4. Unclear or dark visible images
   • Turn on lights in the imaging area
   • If the lens is foggy, use professional equipment to clean the lens
5. Temperature readings are incorrect
   • Power off the device; then, power it back on
   • Ensure the correct temperature range is selected
   • The default temperature range is -20 °C to 150 °C (-4 °F to 302 °F)
   • When measuring high-temperature objects ensure the temperature range is set to the 0 °C to 500 °C (32 °F to 932 °F) range
   • The device is at proper height
   • Ensure the device is in focus
   • Perform a NUC operation
