Figure 68. Finder mode: Initial background measurement
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 averages the count rate for adjustable intervals (see 6.30,
p. 157) and will guide you with its display (Figure 69, p. 74) but mainly by emitting sounds
indicating the distance to the source. The closer you are to the source, the more “excited” the
beeper and the vibrator get.
Listening to the beeper, you can move around to look for the source while watching your step
instead of the screen.
