Caution!
Camera Body Cleaning and Inspection
Caution
: If a camera becomes loose from its mounting point unexpectedly, it could potentially
cause great bodily harm or even death. Ensure the camera is accessible for regular cleaning and
inspection. Routinely inspect for mounting point integrity, mechanical soundness, and any signs of
corrosion or unusual wear.
Routinely inspect the camera and its mounting surface to ensure it is installed securely, the coated
surfaces are intact, and there are no signs of corrosion. When the camera is powered off, grasp it
firmly at the base and confirm it is rigid and secure. Then hold the camera above the base and
confirm it will rotate freely and without noticeable wobble or looseness around pan bearing.
Do not pressure wash the camera, especially around the FLIR logos, as that could force water
through the camera seals. Clean the interface between the yoke and base often to prevent
accumulation of debris or salt deposits.
If you have a problem with your thermal camera, do not attempt to repair it yourself. The M-Series
camera is a sealed unit and can not be opened or serviced in the field. Consult your installation
dealer or FLIR Systems Inc. for repair information.
Specifications
Table 1.1 lists details about physical characteristics, power usage, and environmental features of
your M-Series camera.
The M-Series is sealed at the factory against liquid water, suspended particulates, and other
contaminants. It is important that you not open the camera for any reason, as it will compromise
this seal and possibly damage the unit. Opening the M-Series camera will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
