The result was that rock salt became the principal infrared optical material, and remained so for the next hundred years, until the art of synthetic crystal growing was mastered in the 193

FLIR Systems, Inc. recommends the standard 20-foot cable for proper installation (refer to Chapter 5.1 “Accessories” on page 5- 13). This cable is sealed and provides two power input leads and video output via the connected BNC adapter. The proper mating connector must be used when installing the PathFindIR. The use of other connectors may result in damage to the camera that is not covered by the limited product warranty.

When using a thermal imager in darkness, the image is created based on temperature differences of objects in the field of view, rather than reflected light from headlights. Furthermore, because thermal imaging cameras only 'see' heat sources and not reflected light, they are ideal to assist with driver vision and situational awareness for oncoming obstructions such as animals, people, and other vehicles . The

  • FLIR PathFindIR, 8 – Infrared Technology 30 04/07 334-0001-00-10, version 100 As the blackened thermometer was moved slowly along the colors of the spectrum, the temperature readings showed a steady increase from the violet end to the red end. This was not entirely unexpected, since the Italian researcher, Landriani, in a similar experiment in 1777 had observed much the same effect. It was Herschel, however, who was the first to recognize that there must be a point where the heating effect reaches a maximum, and those measurements confined to the visible portion of the spectrum failed to locate this point.

You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and important instruments you will have on your vehicle. The FLIR ThermoVision ® PathFindIR is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging system that will provide you with excellent night visibility and situational awareness, even in absolute darkness. The PathFindIR system is designed for simple, intuitive operation. The PathFindIR camera is a sophisticated thermal sensor that converts thermal content (heat) of a scene into a 2-dimensional image for display on a video monitor insi

Because these objects are naturally warm, they are particularly easy to see with the PathFindIR and clearly stand out in the video image. Although adverse conditions such as heavy fog will affect any driver vision enhancement system, thermal imaging cameras such as the PathFindIR have been shown to continue to provide useful information in conditions of reduced visibility, such as haze a

  • FLIR PathFindIR, 8 – Infrared Technology 32 04/07 334-0001-00-10, version 100 Figure 8-4: Samuel P. Langley (1834–1906) The improvement of infrared-detector sensitivity progressed slowly. Another major breakthrough, made by Langley in 1880, was the invention of the bolometer. This consisted of a thin blackened strip of platinum connected in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge circuit upon which the infrared radiation was focused and to which a sensitive galvanometer responded. This instrument is said to have been able to detect the heat from a cow at a distance of 400 meters. An English scientist, Sir James Dewar, first introduced the use of liquefied

  • FLIR PathFindIR, 334-0001-00-10, version 100 04/07 19 7 7 Installation 7.1 PathFindIR Installation The PathFindIR is a compact, sealed imaging system that fits easily behind vehicle grilles and in other compact locations. It includes an internal heater to keep the lens clear in icy conditions, and delivers superior image quality. It can be ordered as a camera module with a commercial grade cable kit. The PathFindIR must be mounted in a location where it is not obstructed by the windshield or other glass materials. Although glass is transparent to the human eye, it is opaque in the infrared spectrum. T

  • FLIR PathFindIR, 334-0001-00-10, version 100 04/07 29 8 8 Infrared Technology 8.1 History of Infrared Less than 200 years ago the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected. The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the infrared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800. Figure 8-1: Sir William Herschel (1738–1822) The discovery was made accidentally during the search for a new optical material. Sir William Herschel—Royal Astronomer to King George III of England, and already famous for his discovery of the pl

See “Automatic Shutter” on page 8. 3.3 Heater Element The PathFindIR has a built-in heating element to stabilize the window and prevent ice build-up in cold weather conditions. The heating element is automatically turned on when the temperature of the window falls below 4ºC and is tuned off when the temperature reaches 6ºC. 3.4 Automatic Shutter The PathFindIR incorporates an automatic image correction feature via the internal calibration shutter.

The PathFindIR does not incorporate image stabilization and must be mounted soundly and securely. Image is dim. Check your monitor and video connections. It is recommended that you use separate power supplies for the PathFindIR and the local display to make sure you have clean uninterrupted power. Also, verify the PathFindIR is connected to the 75ohm input on the monitor. The image may be dim if the camera is connected to an input that requires a different impedance. Th
