A. System Function
The FLIR system (the system) uses an infrared detector and camera to show thermal and visible light video of a selected area.
B. System Components
The primary components of the system are:
- Turret/ FLIR unit (Ref. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)
- Central electronics unit (Ref. Fig. 1)
- Hand control unit (Ref. Fig. 1)
- FLIR monitor (Ref. Fig. 1)
C. System Operation
The system uses an infrared detector and its associated electronics to collect and convert infrared radiation to electronic signals. The system also uses a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera to collect and convert visible light to electronic signals. Infrared or visible light video can be selected for display on the FLIR monitor.
