Handling the camera

General information

When the FLIR ONE Edge camera is connected to your mobile device, it may have impact on the signal strength, compass accuracy, and NFC signaling distance of the device.
When the FLIR ONE app is paired with the FLIR ONE Edge camera, the mobile de-vice can only connect to the internet via mobile data (not via Wi-Fi).
If you chose not to physically attach the FLIR ONE Edge camera to your mobile de-vice, the FLIR ONE app will let you know when the distance between the camera and the device becomes too long.
If you then continue increasing the distance, you may loose the connection.

Charging the battery

Connect a power supply to a wall outlet.
Connect the power supply to the USB-C charging port of the FLIR ONE Edge camera.
The LEDs on the front of the camera will flash during charging, and then change into a steady light when fully charged.

Turning the camera on and off

To turn on the FLIR ONE Edge camera, press and hold the On/Off button. Release the button immediately as soon as the LEDs start flashing.
The flashing LEDs indicate that the camera is booting up. It takes about 20 seconds for the camera to finish boot-ing, then it will start and the LEDs will show a steady light.
To turn off the FLIR ONE Edge camera, press and hold the On/Off button until the LEDs turn off.
Note If the communication between the FLIR ONE Edge camera and the FLIR ONE app is inactive for more than 7 minutes, the camera automatically turns off.

Using a thermal camera

Measurements

Measurements in thermal cameras show the temperature on the surface of an object. The measurement accuracy depends on many factors, including the distance from the object, the ambient temperature, and the emissivity of the material being observed.
Users are encouraged to learn more about the science of thermography from https://www.flir.com/support-center/training.

Emissivity

When the spot meter is enabled, the temperature displayed is affected by many factors, including a property of the target material known as emissivity. This property is a relative rating of how well the target material emits or radiates thermal energy.
Some materials are more emissive than others; glossy or reflective materials such as metals tend to be poor emitters. For most materials, the default “matte” setting is a fair approximation.

Cleaning the camera

Camera housing, cables, and other items

Use one of these liquids

Warm water
- A weak detergent solution
Equipment
- A soft cloth

Follow this procedure:

Soak the cloth in the liquid.
Twist the cloth to remove excess liquid.
Clean the part with the cloth.

CAUTION Do not apply solvents or similar liquids to the camera, the cables, or other items. This can cause damage.

Infrared lens

Use one of these liquids:

A commercial lens cleaning liquid with more than 30% isopropyl alcohol.
96% ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).

Equipment:

Cotton wool
CAUTION If you use a lens cleaning cloth it must be dry. Do not use a lens cleaning cloth with the liquids that are listed above.
These liquids can cause material on the lens cleaning cloth to become loose. This material can have an unwanted effect on the surface of the lens.

Follow this procedure:

Soak the cotton wool in the liquid.
Twist the cotton wool to remove excess liquid.
Clean the lens one time only and discard the cotton wool.

WARNING Make sure that you read all applicable MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and warning labels on con-tainers before you use a liquid: the liquids can be dangerous.
CAUTION Be careful when you clean the infrared lens. The lens has a delicate anti-reflective coating.
Do not clean the infrared lens too vigorously. This can damage the anti-reflective coating.
