Automated identiication on dose rate warning
This feature can be helpful when used in controlled circumstances such as monitoring
pedestrian low through a controlled choke point where the operator can manage the
“low” and hold the line until the identiication measurement is complete. This allows
for hands-free operation and a simpliied path to the required result.
Use of this feature in uncontrolled situations, however, can generate very confusing and
disorienting information.
Consider, for example, trying to use this feature while in the middle of a crowd with
people moving in multiple directions. The instrument may register a passing warning
and initiate an identiication measurement on a target that continues to move away. This
target could continue to move away in any direction so as to place the operator in a
dilemma – what to do? It is highly likely that the instrument will fail to complete the
identiication process so concluding with an inconclusive and useless result.
It is highly recommended that this mode ONLY be used when the situation is controlled
and manageable.
The success of the instrument or operator unit can be adversely affected if this advice is
not followed though there is no fault of either the instrument or the operator.
FLIR Detection, Inc. also wishes to avoid the performance of the instrument being called
into question through no fault of the instrument.
