The training must include extensive practice with the thermal imaging camera in

a variety of non-hazardous and hazardous environments to develop a complete

understanding of how to interpret the thermal image. The user must be able to

distinguish between relatively harmless and potentially hazardous sources of

heat. The user must also be able to distinguish between actual sources of heat

and reected images of heat sources. Because different brands and models of

thermal imaging cameras may operate differently, always update training with

each new piece of equipment.

Before entering a potentially hazardous situation, turn on and test the thermal

imaging camera to conrm it is operating properly. Failure to conrm the ther-

mal imaging camera is operating properly may place the user at higher risk in

dangerous situations which could result in serious injury or death.

Beware of misconceptions about thermal imaging cameras. Thermal imaging

cameras only show temperature differences between objects and not an optical

image of the objects. The greater the temperature difference, the more distinct

the thermal image. Understanding and interpreting the thermal image requires

familiarity with how infrared energy behaves. Consider the following:

• The thermal imaging camera cannot see through walls.

A source of heat behind a wall must heat the wall itself to be evident.

The actual source of heat may be some distance from the location

where it shows through the wall.

Even a victim lying against a wall may not create enough tempera-

ture difference in the wall to show through.

Read and understand this entire manual. Training and practice is required be-

fore use of this equipment in a hazardous situation. Use of a thermal imaging

camera without proper training may place the user at higher risk in dangerous

situations which could result in serious injury or death.

TRAINING REQUIRED BEFORE USE

WARNING

THIS IS NOT, NOR IS IT INTENDED TO BE, AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF

THE BEHAVIORS OF INFRARED ENERGY THAT DIFFER FROM VISIBLE

LIGHT. USE OF THIS THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA MUST BE PART

OF A COMPLETE TRAINING PROGRAM. INTERPRETATION OF THE

THERMAL IMAGE REQUIRES TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. DO NOT

USE THE EAGLE IMAGER 320 THERMAL CAMERA IF YOU HAVE NOT

BEEN THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN ITS USE AND OPERATION. USE OF

THIS DEVICE WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING AND UNDERSTANDING OF

ITS OPERATION MAY CAUSE ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT BASED

ON MISINTERPRETATION OF THERMAL IMAGING INFORMATION

WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
