Operating instructions

The Argus4 Lite + DSC + DTM Option - is a simple to operate, robust, selfcontained camera, which has fully automatic operation; no control or adjustment, is required in use. The camera has been specifically designed to help firefighters to see through smoke, identify and rescue casualties and locate hot spots
or the seat and spread of the fire.

The Argus4 Lite is constructed from high quality Radel®R- 5100, which has been chosen for its strength, resistance to heat, water and impact. Protection from shock is provided
by a combination of rugged components, optimum mechanical design and protective bumpers. The camera is sealed to allow short-term total immersion in water (IP67).

No end-user maintenance is required other than recharging of batteries and post-use external cleaning with a soft cloth. Power for the ArgusTM4 is provided by an integral battery pack located on the top of the camera. The camera has a single on/off button with a delayed off operation to prevent accidental power-down during use. The camera will display a start-up screen until a usable thermal image is produced.

WARRANTY

The camera is supplied with a 2-year warranty as standard.
Warranty can be extended for up to three years at time of purchase.
