Scion® Thermal Monocular

The Scion thermal imaging monocular is a handheld viewer with the ability to save an image or a video clip. Nevertheless, in the industry, and throughout this manual, the Scion will be referred to as a camera.

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Monocular

This manual covers the FLIR Scion® thermal monocular and all applicable components. It is recommended that you read and understand this manual to optimize the monocular’s operation.

1.2 Introduction

Built around the powerful FLIR Boson core, and using a refined user interface, the Scion OTM and Scion PTM capture clear thermal imaging that allows you to quickly detect objects of interest in complete darkness and through glare or haze. A rugged, IP67-rated housing and an intuitive set of controls allow singlehand operation in harsh weather conditions, maintaining reliable thermal imaging in the most demanding outdoor environments. The Scion OTM produces 9 or 60 Hz thermal imaging and records geotagged video and still images for playback. By comparison, the Scion PTM packs the same features as the Scion OTM, but is available in 60 Hz only. The Scion PTM is especially built to equip law enforcement professionals with superior thermal surveillance. It features compatibility with FLIR TruWITNESS™, which can instantly stream encrypted thermal footage of any pursuit, evidence recovery, or search and rescue effort to a command center via wireless network.

NOTE:

Internal recording and image capture cannot be used when USB-C is plugged into a computer.

1.5 Infrared Thermal Vision versus Image Intensified Night Vision

Thermal cameras make images from heat, not light, a feat impossible for the naked eye or image intensified (I2 ) night vision devices. This allows you to see clearly without any visible light. People, animals, and objects all generate or reflect heat and are clearly seen by the thermal camera in even the most adverse conditions.

Scion enables the user to:

• See people or objects in difficult terrain, reduced visibility, or total darkness
• See through smoke, dust, and light fog
• See more and further than low light night vision

5.2 CLEANING SCION

Wipe the housing with a damp cloth as needed.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasives or solvents to clean the housing, lens, or display window. Do not use ammonia-based cleaning products to clean the lens, doing so may damage the antireflective coating of the lens. The Scion thermal camera lens is designed for the harsh outdoor environment and has a coating for durability and anti-reflection, but it may require cleaning occasionally. Avoid scratching the lens and/or leaving fingerprints on the optics.

The camera optics can be damaged by improper cleaning. Clean the lens according to the instructions below when image quality degradation is noticed or excessive dirt or other contaminant is on the lens. Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes as this will possibly damage the lens by scratching it. Only wipe the lens clean when there is visible contamination on the surface.

5.2.1 PREFERRED METHOD FOR CLEANING THE LENS

Materials:

• Optical-grade cloth
• Pure water (de-ionized or other)
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)

Saturate a piece of the lens tissue with the water and drape it over the lens. Let the surface tension of the water pull the tissue onto the lens surface and then drag the tissue across the lens surface. Repeat several times with different pieces of tissue. Repeat the same step using IPA instead of water. Drag the final piece of tissue over the lens several times to prevent pooling, which could leave a residue behind.
