1. INTRODUCTION

WARNING: Do not aim the camera at the sun or other sources

of powerful thermal radiation.

Thank you for purchasing an AEMC®Instruments Thermal Imaging IR Camera

Model 1950.

For the best results from your instrument and for your safety, you must read the

enclosed operating instructions carefully and comply with the precautions for use.

Only qualied and trained operators should use this product.

1.1 INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS

CAUTION - Risk of Danger! Indicates a WARNING. Whenever this symbol

is present, the operator must refer to the user manual before operation.

Indicates Important information to acknowledge

This product complies with the Low Voltage & Electromagnetic Compatibility

European directives.

The product has been declared recyclable.

1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■Never aim the camera at the sun or other strong source of thermal

radiation. This can impair camera operation and/or damage its infrared

sensor. To avoid accidental exposure, close the lens ap when the camera is

not in use.

■Avoid exposure to dust with the lens ap open. Dust on the lens can

absorb thermal ux and cause articial di󰀨usion. It can also degrade image

sharpness. To clean the lens, refer to § 10.2.

■Do not touch the lens with your ngers. Acids from human skin can

damage the lens and its coatings.

■Avoid jolting or dropping the camera.

1.3 RECEIVING YOUR SHIPMENT

Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with

the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the equipment

appears to be damaged, le a claim immediately with the carrier and notify

your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage. Save the

damaged packing container to substantiate your claim.

Thermal Imaging IR Camera Model 1950 - User Manual 9

2. GETTING STARTED

2.1 BATTERY INSTALLATION

The camera accepts four AA batteries, alkaline or NiMH rechargeable. The latter

can be recharged with an external charger (purchased separately).

When the batteries are removed, the internal clock has su󰀩cient power for

15 hours. The batteries are inserted through the end of the handle. Open the

cover using a coin while pressing down on the locking tab:

2.1.1 Battery Management

After the batteries are installed (or replaced)

the Battery management menu appears when

the camera rst starts up. This menu can also

be displayed by pressing and holding down

the F2 button when the camera is powered

ON.

In the Battery management menu, the

function buttons perform the following:

F1 conrms the information entered

closes the window, and initializes the settings

F2 edits and conrms entry of the

selected item

F3 cancels an entry or closes the window

without resetting the battery options

The battery management menu can operate in one of two modes.

Advanced O󰀨 (Default) is display-only; you cannot change any settings in this

mode. In default mode, the battery icon only only appears when battery power

is low. When this icon appears, the camera will operate for approximately 30

minutes and then shut down automatically.

10 Thermal Imaging IR Camera Model 1950 - User Manual

Advanced On allows more precise tracking of battery energy consumption,

including the type of batteries used and their estimated capacity. In Advanced

mode, the battery icon indicates how much charge is left in the batteries. Initially

this icon is green: . When the remaining charge is low this icon appears

yellow: . When 30 minutes of charge remains, this icon appears as .

To change mode, ensure the Advanced icon is selected. If not, use the arrow

buttons to select it. Press to edit the setting, and use the up and down

buttons to change the setting to the desired option. Then press to conrm the

change.

Type of batteries: The camera is delivered with low-self-discharge Ni-MH

rechargeable batteries with a capacity of approximately 2500 mA·h. These are

the default parameters.

NOTE: If you consistently use the same set of rechargeable batteries,

we recommend operating the camera until it automatically switches

OFF due to low batteries. This automatically recalculates and adjusts

the estimated capacity of the batteries. The new capacity is displayed

by default the next time the Battery management menu is displayed.

2.2 MICRO SD MEMORY CARD INSTALLATION

Camera les (images, audio, and

setup) are stored in the micro SD

memory card located on the left side

of the head (see photo to left). If this

card is not installed, an error message

appears when the camera attempts to

access it. This card is provided with

the camera.

Before installation, the memory card

must be formatted in one of the

following formats:

■FAT16

■FAT32

To insert the card, open the rubber

ap and push the card into the

SD card slot. If the card cannot be

inserted, ensure that:

■The card is facing in the correct

direction

■The card slot is empty

2.3 CAMERA DISPLAY

In normal operation, the camera starts up:

■at the Main screen (see 2.3.1)

■in continuous acquisition mode

■with the conguration setup loaded when it was last turned OFF
