Dräger UCF 1600 or UCF 3200 Thermal Imaging Cameras

TIC Orientation/Greg Sesny/ 5/25/20081 | 37

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.

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

IR Waves IR Detector Signal Processor

Electronic Signal

Display ScreenIR

Lens




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.

Normal Mode/EI Mode

Normal Mode


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°+



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°



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.



Optional Additional Features

ThermalScan™ Buttons


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.
