Safety and Precautionary Measures

WARNING!
The user must be trained and thoroughly familiar with proper operation and limitations of the thermal
imaging camera prior to use. Use in controlled live-burn exercises is suggested before using the
equipment in actual emergency situations. Improper use of the equipment in a hazardous atmosphere
could result in serious personal injury or death.
Do not rely on the thermal imaging camera 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.
Many electronic devices cease to operate when exposed to high heat conditions for an extended
period. The Integrated TIC is capable of providing an acceptable image when subjected to an ambient
temperature of approximately 120 °C (248 °F) for 20 minutes. Exposure to conditions exceeding
these may result in deterioration and/or loss of image.
The Integrated TIC is intrinsically safe and conforms to UL 913 6th edition, Class I, Division 1,
Groups C and D, Temperature Rating T1.
Before entering a hostile environment, test the thermal imaging camera as specified in the instructions
to ensure that it is functional. After each use, inspect the camera to determine if servicing is required.
Exposure to high temperature environments for an extended period of time may cause degradation
or loss of thermal image. Avoid heat saturation or overexposure of the equipment. If degradation of
the thermal image is observed, immediately 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 inop-
erative.
Do not mark the camera i.e., with stamps, labels, paint or other method. Use of such markings may
interfere with camera use or may constitute a flammability hazard.
Battery Warnings - The TIC is fully integrated into the G1 SCBA Control Module and is powered from
the same single battery module, therefore all G1 SCBA battery warnings apply.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.
