1  Introduction

This manual describes the proper operation and maintenance of your Fido X4 System.

The FLIR Fido® X4 is a lightweight, hand-held explosives trace detector (ETD), designed for

extended daily use for Entry Control Point (ECP) security screening applications. The system

is ultra-portable, weighing just 3.2 pounds (1.45 kg), and includes two 8-hour rechargeable

and hot-swappable lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries, making it ideal both for fixed site checkpoints

and for dynamic security environments where trace detection is needed at many changing

locations.

Fido X4's award-winning TrueTrace® technology detects unseen threats with higher sens-

itivity and faster clear-down time compared to similar products. Fido X4 delivers fast, cost-

effective, high throughput screening with sampling time of 10 seconds or less and alarm res-

ults displayed in under 25 seconds from sample presentation. System clear-down is com-

plete in an average of less than 30 seconds from alarm result.

The Fido X4 is available as a complete system kit, to include the Fido X4 handheld ETD, spare

battery, basic accessories, maintenance kit and starting quantities of consumables. For a

detailed description of kit components, see "System Overview" on p. 14.
