5.2.1.2 Non-uniformity Correction (NUC) Operation
The NUC calibrates the EYE-C-GAS image making it ready for use. To perform a NUC, cover
the lens with the lens cap and press the large NUC button (Figure 3). The image will freeze
(indicated by no movement in background noise). Upon completion of the image freeze, a
uniform image will be displayed on the LCD, and the EYE-C-GAS will be ready for use.
5.2.2 EYE-C-GAS Set-up for Operation
1. Ensure that the EYE-C-GAS camera is powered on and ready for use.
2. Perform a NUC (see section 5.2.1.2 for details).
3. Select the mode of operation via the Menu.
4. Select other desired parameters and exit the menu by depressing the Quit Menu button.
5. Aim EYE-C-GAS toward a desired component or area for inspection and manually focus
the lens via the rubber ring until the image is clear.
6. The image can be adjusted as necessary to correspond to changing scene conditions.
When detection proves difficult, adjust the camera’s polarity and mode (Normal or
Enhanced) to enable better detection capability.
5.2.3 Video / Audio Recording
1. To record video, depress the “Record” button once to begin recording and a second time
to stop recording. While recording users can change polarity, switch between infrared and
visible CCD video, change modes and other settings. Connect the head set to the
accessories connector to also record audio. A red blinking indicator will be active when
recording under the DISK icon.
2. To play back records, depress the Menu button and enter the File Manager menu. Browse
the files, select the desired file and depress menu again to view the file. A video file can
also be deleted when selected. Note: you cannot recover deleted files.
5.2.4 Operational Modes
The EYE-C-GAS camera has two basic operational modes: Normal and Enhanced, which are
selectable by depressing the Mode button on the keypad.
1. Normal Mode (Nor). This mode provides standard detection functionality for normal
environmental conditions being the common mode for operating the EYE-C-GAS.
2. Enhanced Mode (Enh). This mode provides enhanced sensitivity while operating in low-
contrast backgrounds and/or where attempting to detect low gas flow leakages; EYE-C-
GAS will provide greater sensitivity but the image will appear grainier while operating in
enhanced mode.
