1.5 How To Use This Manual
WARNING:
It is STRONGLY advised that you read through this manual before
setting up your Pyrocam. The Pyrocam imager is very costly to replace
and is not covered for damage under Spiricon’s standard warranty.
After this first chapter containing general information, Chapter 2 introduces the controls,
connections, and displays, Chapter 3 explains about setup and operation, Chapter 4

pay close attention to the damage threshold limits described in
APPENDIX A.
