User Manual
Can we activate LUNAR remotely to locate the breathing apparatus?
Only LUNARs in alarm can be searched for.
What are the limits of LUNAR technology inside buildings or in parking lots?
The F.A.S.T. Technology on LUNAR has a 0.5 km Line of Sight (LoS) range – as walls and other obstructions are experienced, we would
anticipate the range to decrease – we suggest re departments trial LUNAR to ensure the product meets their specic needs.
Are LUNAR batteries interchangeable?
Yes, they are and you are able to purchase extra batteries for the LUNAR device.
What is the benet of a self-forming alarm network?
LUNARs that are within range of each other will automatically detect and alert the user that another reghter has gone into alarm.
This compares to other technologies that require base stations or nodes to relay and coordinate the network – LUNAR eectively
removes this dependency to ensure a safety network is available as soon as the device is powered on. Only LUNARs in alarm can be
searched for.
What is the benet of the custom-designed Circularly Polarized Directional Antenna?
The technological jump for LUNAR with regards to directional antenna implementation is related to the mechanical design. The
directional antenna was custom designed with external specialists to ensure alignment with the thermal imaging plane as well as
tting in a hand-held form factor. The circular polarization is important as it allows for a uniform radiation pattern ensuring consistent
performance regardless of the orientation of target (laying facedown/up) or how the searcher is holding the device – this compares to
linearly polarized antennas which are dependent on both, i.e. the Pak Tracker, which could lead to inconsistent performance.
How does the ranging using Pulse Radar (distance measurement) work?
We have implemented radar technology working with external specialists for our specic use case – indoor point to point distance
measurement without xed infrastructure – essentially being deployed instantly without other dependencies. We have also utilizing
multiple (redundant) antennas for additional sampling and algorithm development to ensure we can better detect interference when
present.
Alarms
What types of alarms does LUNAR have?
Motion, manual, and hardware. If the device is motionless for 30 seconds, LUNAR will go in to motion alarm. If either button is held
down for approximately three seconds, the device goes in manual alarm. When LUNAR self-detects that there is an internal issue, the
device places itself in hardware alarm.
Thermal Imaging
Do I need an export licence for the thermal imaging of LUNAR?
It requires a similar license like the EVOLUTION 6000 series.
What is the type of sensor used for the TIC inside LUNAR (resolution)?
The thermal image resolution of the TIC core is 206 x 156 (32,136 pixels).
What is the dynamic range and the maximum temperature reading of the TIC core?
The dynamic range is the temperature variance a TIC can see without saturating. LUNAR’s range is 370°C, so -30 to 330° C.
The maximum temperature reading is 999°C.
How many thermal image palettes are available on the device simultaneously?
2 of more than 20 dierent palettes. These can be chosen with the mobile app FireGrid Congure.
What exactly is Edge Detection?
Edge Detection is a thermal palette exclusive to LUNAR, which accentuates areas of temperature dierence with a bright green
highlight over a white-hot overlay.
