FLIR K 5 Series User Manual

Operation
12
The camera automatically switches between the high-sensitivity range and the low-sen-
sitivity range, to maintain an optimal infrared image.
• Automatic range.
• High-sensitivity range: –20 to +150°C (–4 to +302°F).
• Low-sensitivity range: 0 to +650°C (+32 to +1202°F).
12.5.2.3 Fire mode
Figure 12.3 Fire mode.
Fire mode is similar to Basic mode, but with a higher-temperature starting point for the
heat colorization. It is suitable for fire scenes with higher background temperatures,
where there are already a lot of open flames and a high background temperature. The
camera automatically switches between the high-sensitivity range and the low-sensitivity
range, to maintain an optimal infrared image while at the same time maintaining a safe
and consistent heat colorization.
• Automatic range.
• Colorization of heat: +250 to +650°C (+ 482 to +1202°F).
• High-sensitivity range: –20 to +150°C (–4 to +302°F).
• Low-sensitivity range: 0 to +650°C (+32 to +1202°F).
12.5.2.4 Search and rescue mode
Figure 12.4 Search and rescue mode.
Search and rescue mode is optimized for maintaining high contrast in the infrared image
while searching for people in landscapes, buildings, or traffic accident scenes.
• High-sensitivity range only.
• Colorization of heat: +100 to +150°C (+212 to +302°F).
• High-sensitivity range: –20 to +150°C (–4 to +302°F).
