Firefighter Mode—M400XR only
Overview
When the system is in firefighter mode, the estimated temperature of a spot meter target area is
monitored and displayed on the screen. In Firefighter mode the color palette is changed to use
colored gradients that represent temperatures. When in Firefighter mode, select the MENU key on
the JCU II to open the Firefighter menu to set the temperature units or Isotherm thresholds.
Caution:
A number of factors can affect the accuracy of the M400XR temperature reading such as
the distance to the target, humidity, and other atmospheric conditions. While the Firefighter Mode
features of your M400XR system provide an important reference point in understanding
temperatures in a target environment, you should never rely on camera data as your primary
source of information. The M400XR system should always be used in conjunction with other
appropriate tools.
Firefighter mode can be activated when either camera is active. If the daylight camera is active,
the spot meter, temperature scale, and firefighter scene icon will be shown.
Enable firefighter mode by pressing the
MENU button and selecting Firefighter.

The temperature/color scale shown along the edge of the video adjusts dynamically between high
gain (0
°F
to 300
°F; 0 °C
to 150
°C)
and low gain (0
°F
to 1000
°F; 0 °C
to 600
°C
) based on the
temperature in the scene.
Using the system in firefighter mode temporarily disables some other system features:
• If NMEA mode has been enabled, it is disabled until firefighter mode is disabled.
• The Video Setup Menu cannot be accessed from the main menu while using this mode.
• The color palette or the video polarity cannot be changed.
