2. Warnings, Cautions, Limitations

Warnings

1. The user must be trained and thoroughly familiar with the
proper operation and limitations of the thermal imaging
system prior to use. Use in controlled live-burn exercises is
suggested before using the equipment in actual
emergency situations.
2. Do not rely on the thermal imaging system as the sole
means of navigation or deviate from standard fire-fighting
navigational practices during use. Although the system
provides an image in dark and smoky environments, the
user may become disoriented or lost in such environments
if the system becomes inoperative.
3. Most electronic devices will cease to operate at certain
high temperature extremes. Tests on the EVOLUTION 5000
TIC indicate that it will provide an acceptable image when
subjected to an ambient temperature of approximately
120 °C (248 °F) for about 10 minutes. Exposure to
conditions exceeding these will result in deterioration and
loss of image.
4. Thermal energy is not transmitted through glass or
underwater and may be reflected off of smooth surfaces.
5. This thermal imaging system is not rated as "Intrinsically
Safe." Do not use the system in environments or
atmospheres where static or spark may cause an
explosion.
6. Before entering a hostile environment, test the thermal
imaging system as specified in the instructions to ensure
that it is functioning. After each use, inspect the system to
determine if servicing is required.
7. Exposure to high temperature environments for an exten-
ded period of time may cause degradation or loss of
thermal image. Avoid heat saturation or over exposure of
the equipment. If degradation of the thermal image is
observed, remove the equipment from the high heat
environment and allow it to cool until the thermal image
returns to normal; otherwise, the system may become
inoperative.
8. Replacement batteries must exactly match the ratings and
configuration of those supplied with the equipment. Use of
unapproved batteries may render the system inoperative.
9. Do not remove the thermal imaging camera cover or casing
as the system operates on high voltage. Only authorised
personnel may service the unit.
