SECTION 2 - - - INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
2.1
INTRODUCTION AND PRECAUTIONS
Before installing the telescope, please read this section carefully. Should any difficulties arise, contact your supplier or
Technical Support staff at Eltec Instruments directly.
IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR INSTALLATION AND SERVICE PERSONNEL:
Handle the telescope with care
The unit is a precision instrument and will not function to its specifications if subjected to mechanical shock or undue
stress.
DO NOT point the unit into the sun or other intense source of infrared radiation
The telescope contains precision optical components that focus infrared energy onto very sensitive pyroelectric
components. Intense sources of infrared will destroy these components and possibly damage the optics.
DO NOT touch the front window with bare hands
Salts and acids from the hands may damage the surface of the window. To clean the window, use only a soft, clean
cloth. Cloth may be moistened with distilled water or alcohol in severe conditions. Clean the window very gently, do not
apply undue pressure as the window is fragile and may be damaged or broken.
Use precautions in lightning storms
In lightning prone areas, take measures to arrest lightning discharges and electrostatic buildup.
2.2
UNPACKING
Remove the unit from the shipping container and carefully check for signs of damage. Any such damage should be
reported to your supplier or to the Technical Support staff at Eltec Instruments directly. Do not attempt to install a damaged
unit until advice has been obtained.
2.3
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The telescope can be used over a wide voltage range from 3.0V to 15V DC. The voltage must be DC, any ripple on the
supply voltage will be present at the output of the telescope. Avoid running low voltage DC next to AC power cables over
long distances. Induced AC ripple and noise in the DC supply will be present at telescope’s output.
2.4
CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
2.5
TAMPER SENSE (MODEL 860M5 AND 860M6 ONLY)
The difference between the Model 860M5 and the Model 860M6 are the internal tamper sense connections. The Model
860M5 tamper sense connects to V+ through a 2 megohm resistor. The Model 860M6 tamper sense is connected to
ground.
