seconds to three minutes, depending on the environment.
Temperature Measurement Features
Your Eclipse LD may be equipped with an optional temperature measurement feature.
If equipped, the default setting for your Eclipse LD shows a numeric temperature
indicator on the top right portion of the display. The number displayed represents the
graphically as a bar.
The accuracy of the indicators is dependent on numerous factors including the
distance from the object being viewed and its emissivity, which is the object’s ability to
radiate heat. Units are calibrated with a preset emissivity corresponding with normal
as metals and shiny objects, will reduce the accuracy of the temperature indication.
Additionally, temperature measurement accuracy decreases as the distance from the
object in the “crosshairs” increases.
NOTE
compare objects of similar emissivities to serve as a guide to pinpoint intense
heat sources. Due to the inherent issues with accuracy, use these features with
caution and verify indicated heat levels through traditional means whenever
possible.
NOTE
to display on the Eclipse LD and choose either Fahrenheit or Celsius scales.
To change the default setting, go to myBullard and locate the Temperature
Super Red Hot
yellow and gradually transition to orange and then to solid red as heat levels rise. This
feature identifies specific heat layers alerting firefighters to areas of intense heat
providing an enhanced visual awareness of the hottest objects in a scene.
