3. Gently insert the two pins of the filter holder tool into the corresponding holes of the
holder to install.
4. Insert the filter holder, making sure that the two slots in the holder are in line with the
two springs on the filter wheel.
5. Rotate the filter holder clockwise until the springs are correctly maintaining the holder.
7.1.3
Filter holder identification
Each filter holder is identified by a combination of magnets glued onto the filter holder.
FLIR provides standard filter configurations with corresponding identification numbers
(IDs). At start-up, the camera scans the filter wheel and identifies the inserted holders. If
equipped with a lens with a bayonet mount, the camera also adjusts the measurement
configuration in accordance with the identified filter holders.
The IDs 40 to 58 are reserved for customer-defined holders.
7.1.4
Creating a custom filter holder
Note
• Filters are fragile. Handle them with great care.
• Do not touch the filter surface when you install the filter. If this happens, clean the filter
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Wear gloves or finger tips to handle the filter.
7.1.4.1
General
You can configure a filter holder to use your own spectral filter. You need an empty holder
(P/N SC8_SC6_FILT_HOLD—contact your FLIR representative for more information on
blank filter holders).
7.1.4.2
Procedure
Follow the procedure below to assemble a filter within a filter holder:
1. Select a holder ID within the range 40 to 58. This will be used by the camera to identi-
fy your filter.
2. Convert this number to binary. For example, 40 is 101000.
3. The magnets provided with the empty holder are glued to the holder in accordance
with the binary code. For every “1” in the binary code, a magnet is glued in the appro-
priate hole in the holder (see the figure below), with the north pole of the magnet fac-
ing into the hole. For example, for binary code 101000, you need to place a magnet
at positions 8 and 32.
The use of Loctite Hysol 3430 A&B glue is recommended.
Note
The Microsoft Windows calculator in programmer mode provides an easy
way to convert decimal numbers into binary code.
