Malfunction
The image is blurred, with
thin vertical lines or shadows.
After calibration, there is a
"ghost image" overlayed
over the scene.
Low image quality/reduced
detection range.
Taking photos or videos does
not work.
Wifi cannot be activated in
the menu.
Point of impact is not con-
stant.
LUCHS -1 · Operating Manual 09 / 2021
Possible reason
Calibration needed.
Calibration mode
S was chosen and
the lens cap was not
closed during calibrat-
iong.
These problems can occur under adverse weather conditions
(high humidity, snowfall, rain, fog, etc.).
During long periods of constant weather without sunshine, and
especially in rainy conditions, the observed objects cool down to
approximately the same temperature, so that the temperature
contrast is considerably reduced and the image quality suffers as
a result. This characteristic is due to physical reasons and does not
represent a defect in the thermal imager.
20 seconds time after
startup has not passed.
30 seconds after start-
up has not passed.
Thread adapter is
not tightened or the
clamping force of the
adapter is not properly
adjusted.
The parallax adjust-
menton the riflescope
is set to close range.
Minimum mounting
distance not observed.
Correction
Calibrate the image.
Perform another calibration with closed
lens cap.
Wait 20 seconds after starting the device
before taking photos or videos.
Wait 30 seconds after starting the device
before activating Wifi.
Make sure that thread adapter and the
clamping adapter are firmly
attached and tightened without play in
any direction.
Set the parallax adjustment to 100 m.
Make sure the distance between the
bottom of the LUCHS -1 and the barrel is
at least 10 mm.
