TICs indi-
cate that they will provide an accept-
able image when subjected to an
ambient temperature of approximate-
ly 120°C (248°F) for about ten min-
utes. Exposure to conditions exceed-
ing these will result in deterioration
and loss of image.
E - System Status Indicator -
A single LED shows the operational status of
the TIC.
• Green indicates the TIC is ON and fully
operational
• Flashing Green indicates the TIC is ON and
in power-saving Standby mode.
F - Battery Status Indicator -
Battery capacity is shown by a row of three LEDs:
one green, one yellow, and one red. Only one of
the three battery status indicators will be
illuminated at any one time.
• Green indicates full or nearly full battery
capacity
• Yellow indicates marginal battery capacity
• Red indicates battery warning and nominally
15 minutes of battery life remaining
• Flashing Red indicates battery shutdown is
imminent (about one minute of warning time).
Additional Indicators
Optional Heat Seeker Plus Indicator -
The optional Heat Seeker Plus indicator adds
shades of color to objects in the scene reaching
high temperatures in both High and Low Sense
mode. The shades of color allow for some details
of the object to be seen for easier identification.
In High Sensitivity mode:
• The color of objects reaching 275°F (135°C)
will be yellow, starting with light shades
changing to darker shades, and then moving
to light and dark shades of orange as the
temperature increases.
• Once objects reach a temperature of297°F
(147°C), they become red starting with light
shades changing to darker shades up to a
temperature of 320°F (160°C).
In Low Sensitivity mode:
• The color of objects reaching 842°F (450°C)
will be yellow, starting with light shades
changing to darker shades, and then moving
to light and dark shades of orange as the
temperature increases.
• Once objects reach a temperature of 914°F
(490°C), they become red, starting with light
shades changing to darker shades up to a
temperature of 1040°F (560°C).
System Fault Indicator -
All five LEDs will flash if a system fault is detected.
The TIC's internal computer runs a self-diagnostic
program. If a problem with the internal component
is detected, a fault will be signaled and the LEDs
will flash.
Direct Video Connection
If you plan to use the TIC for viewing or recording
direct video, the Evolution 5200 and Evolution
5200HD

TICs are equipped with an SMA-type
video out connector located below the display,
next to the handle. Also included is an adapter
cable to a BNC connection (FIGURE 5).
If you plan to use the video out capability, attach
the SMA connector end and rout the adapter cable
to and through the front handle. The unit can then
be quickly attached to a video display using a BNC
connection.
