Optomechanics
With the help of an optomechanic assembly, the following functions are implemented:
■ Focus (motor focus)
■ Measuring range switch-over (apertures)*
■ Internal NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) with shutter
Furthermore, this assembly optionally comprises a module for hardware-based increase of the geometric
resolution of the thermography system to (2.048 x 1.536) IR pixels (detector with [1.024 x 768] pixels) and
(1.280 x 960) IR pixels (detector with [640 x 480] pixels) in “Resolution Enhancement”* mode.
Controls
The VarioCAM
®
HD is controlled by means of a focus rocker switch with center function for
autofocus. the function buttons Automatic. Temperature, Start/Stop/Save, and the multi-function
buttons and at the right top. On the backside of the camera, a power button for right-thumb
operation, a joystick with center function (Enter), and the button (Cancel) can be found. The
controls of the VarioCAM
®
HD are arranged for single-hand operation with the right hand. Another multi-
function button can be found at the top of the handle*. When carrying the camera on its handle, it can
be operated using the thumb of your right hand.
Specific modes of camera operation and presettings can be configured using menus. Chapter 8
Operation – page 26 contains a detailed description of how to operate the thermography system as well
as a detailed description of the menu structure.
The VarioCAM
®
HD can be controlled remotely via the RS232, GigE-Vision, Bluetooth or WLAN
interfaces*. The related control software is described in separate manuals of the corresponding software*.
Power supply
Optionally,
■ an external 15 V wall plug transformer (accessories)* or
■ a rechargeable lithium-ion battery 7.2 V (accessories)
can be used to supply the VarioCAM
®
HD with power.
The wall plug transformer is connected to the 14-pin (right-hand side) LEMO socket on the backside of
the housing. The rechargeable battery is inserted vertically into the designated position on the backside of
the thermography system (see chapter 6.2 Start – page 16).
