In Service Training CD Dräger UCF 1600 or UCF 3200 Thermal Imaging Cameras 1 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny/ 5/25/2008

Thank you for purchasing the Dräger Thermal imaging Camera. We know you will be delighted with its many unique capabilities. This is CD is intended to provide you with information on how to operate, maintain and get the most out of your new thermal imaging camera. Thermal Cameras are a tool and should never deviate from departments Standard operating procedures, fire experiences, training and overall common sense. Be sure to get refresher courses and train all shifts on the camera and be sure to debrief after training and incidents requiring the use of the thermal imaging camera. Please remember that thermal imaging cameras are very useful in the fire service and we have made great strides to make the UCF 1600 and UCF 3200 very robust and durable. It is however, an electronic device and should be used and not abused. For more technical information, please refer to your Instructions For Use Manual that came with the camera. 2 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny/5/25/2008

Infrared Radiation What is Infrared Radiation? Infrared Radiation is a portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum It is a form of energy which we perceive as heat All bodies above the absolute zero ( -273 C) of temperature absorb and radiate infrared radiation 4 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny/ 5/25/2008

Thermal Imaging Technology Since thermal imagers sense infrared energy which varies with the temperature of objects in a scene, the image generated provides a thermal signature of the scene. This image can be displayed on a standard video monitor. Infrared energy from objects in a scene is focused by optics onto an infrared detector. The infrared information is then passed to sensor electronics for image processing. The signal processing circuitry translates the infrared detector data into an image that can be viewed on a standard video monitor. All that means is that IR to a thermal camera is like light to your eyes. 7 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny/ 5/25/2008

Dräger UCF Thermal Camera Normal Mode/EI Mode Normal Mode The UCF 1600 and the UCF 3200 thermal cameras have two modes that they will operate in. In normal mode, the user can select between several color palettes and use the ThermalScan feature. Dräger UCF cameras come standard with 4 colors. Blue color is when the temperature is 32 or below. Grayscale color is when the temperature is 32-230 Yellow Color is when the temperature is 230 Orange Color is when the temperature is 284 Red Color is when the temperature is 325 + 28 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny5/25/2008

Dräger UCF Thermal Camera Normal Mode/EI Mode EI Mode Electronic iris or Firefighting Mode occurs when the temperature of more than approximately 10% of the objects in the scene is higher than 266. The camera will do this automatically. The camera will also default you out of any color palette or ThermalScan mode and put you into firefighting mode in CP 01. Yellow Color is when the temperature is 572 Orange Color is when the temperature is 800 Red Color is when the temperature is 1020 29 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny5/25/2008

Dräger UCF Thermal Camera Normal Mode/EI Mode EI Mode The camera will automatically go out of EI mode and into normal mode once 10% of the pixels go below 266 The intent for EI mode is to extend your cameras dynamic range. 30 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny5/25/2008

Dräger UCF Thermal Camera Optional Additional Features ThermalScan Buttons The UCF 1600 and the UCF 3200 thermal cameras offer the optional Thermal Scan (TS) technology for highlighting areas above a set ambient temperature in a yellow color. Ideal for use of smell of smoke calls and overhaul. To activate the ThermalScan press either the UP or DOWN arrows for approximately 1 second to raise or lower your desired ambient temperature range. Ranges can go from 244 degrees Fahrenheit to -33 degrees Fahrenheit. Holding down the arrow button will change the desired temperature faster. To deactivate the ThermalScan press and hold both arrows for approximately 2 seconds. The ThermalScan threshold will disappear from the screen and return to normal mode. *Note: if you are in ThermalScan mode and in extreme temperatures, the camera will automatically go into EI Mode and deactivate the ThermalScan. 31 37 TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny/2/25/2008
