Thank you and congratulations on your purchase

of the Bullard QXT

The Bullard QXT offers numeric and bar temperature measurement as well as

automatic tri-color Super Red Hot (SRH) high heat colorization. Depending on your

unit’s conﬁguration, additional optional features are available, including Electronic

Thermal Throttle (ETT) manual colorization and 2X / 4X digital zoom.

The beneﬁts of using thermal imaging technology as a ﬁreﬁghting tool encompass

nearly every aspect of a ﬁreﬁghter’s job. Thermal imaging is not, however, a

technology designed to replace current ﬁreﬁghting tactics. Rather, it is a tool that

allows the ﬁreﬁghter to be more effective and make better decisions. Some of the

many uses for your Bullard QXT Thermal Imager include:

• Search and rescue

• Scene assessment

• Locating the seat of the ﬁre

• Determining the spread of the ﬁre

• Locating hot spots

• Identifying potential ﬂashover situations

• Determining ventilation points

• Determining entry and exit points

• Overhaul

• Hazmat

• Wildland ﬁreﬁghting

• Incident investigation

• Training

� WARNING

Read all instructions and warnings before using this product.

Your thermal imager is like any other tool. It must be used properly and safely.

All users should be trained on the proper and safe use of thermal imaging

prior to using the Bullard QXT Thermal Imager. This is especially important

for users who may use this product in hazardous or IDLH (Immediately

Dangerous to Life and Health) environments.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INFORMATION COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY.
