Congratulations
Congratulations on the purchase of your new advanced Bullard T3 Series Thermal
Imager. The new Bullard T3 Series combines advanced thermal imaging technology
with our expertise in high heat, impact resistant engineered polymers to bring you the
most durable thermal imager on the market. The T3’s innovative, compact design and
logical, easy-to-use interface presents a truly personalized thermal imaging tool to
today’s firefighters.
The benefits of using thermal imaging technology as a firefighting tool encompass
nearly every aspect of a firefighter’s job. Thermal imaging is not, however, a technology
designed to replace current firefighting tactics. Rather, it is a tool that allows the
firefighter to be more effective and make better decisions. Some of the many uses for
your Bullard T3 Series Thermal Imager include:
• Search and rescue
• Scene assessment
• Locating the seat of the fire
• Determining the spread of the fire
• Locating hot spots
• Identifying potential flashover situations
• Determining ventilation points
• Determining entry and exit points
• Overhaul
• Hazmat
• Wildland firefighting
• Incident investigating
• Training
NOTE
To ensure that we are able to reach you with any product or software updates,
please fill out the warranty card enclosed with your Bullard T3 Series Thermal
Imager.
Read all instructions and warnings before using this product.
Your thermal imager is like any other tool. It must be used properly and safely. All
users should be trained on the proper and safe use of thermal imaging prior to using
the T3 Series Thermal Imager. This is especially important for users who may use
the T3 Series Thermal Imager in hazardous or IDLH (immediately dangerous to life
and health) environments.
Failure to follow this information could result in death or serious injury.
