Attaching the SceneCatcher
The Bullard Thermal Imager (TI) can be equipped with
an optional SceneCatcher digital video recorder. The
SceneCatcher is housed in a convenient handle. To
attach the handle to the TI, simply align the handle so
the handle brackets cradle the TI just under the display
and the electrical contacts on the handle align with
corresponding contacts on the TI (Figure 1). Turn the
thumbscrew until it is tightened and the handle is fully
secure. To disconnect the SceneCatcher handle, loosen
the thumbscrew and remove the handle from the thermal
image.
NOTE
The electrical contacts on the TI that connect with
the SceneCatcher may require periodic cleaning.
To clean these contacts, use soapy water and a
non-abrasive cloth or a cotton swab and isopropyl
alcohol. Rubbing a pencil eraser on the contacts is
another effective, non-abrasive means to clean the
contacts.
Using the SceneCatcher
The SceneCatcher is powered via the TI’s 10-Volt NiMH
rechargeable battery, while the TI is powered on. It
functions through the use of one button only. The button,
or Momentary Switch, located on the left outer circle
of the pistol grip handle controls both image and video
capture (Figure 2). The download feature, which allows
image and video to be downloaded to a computer, is
functional only when the SceneCatcher is powered on and
connected through a USB cable. The USB port is located
on the front right side of the handle (Figure 3).
SceneCatcher Only Mode: When the SceneCatcher
is attached to the TI and powered on, the unit will
perform a six second calibration sequence after which
the LED indicator will illuminate green. No function of the
SceneCatcher has yet been initiated. The solid green LED
indicates the Standby/Ready mode.
To engage the Image Capture Mode, begin with a
solid green LED. Depress the Momentary Switch for less
than one second. The green SceneCatcher LED will turn
red while the image is being generated, and then it will
return to green (ready mode) when the SceneCatcher has
completed generating the image.
To engage the Video Capture Mode, begin with
a solid green LED. Depress the Momentary Switch for
more than two seconds. The green SceneCatcher LED will
produce an alternating green/red flash (approximately
one flash per second) while the video is being generated.
Press the Momentary Switch again to disable the video
capture mode. The SceneCatcher LED will return to green
(ready mode) when the SceneCatcher has completed
capturing the video.
SceneCatcher Low Memory Mode: When the
SceneCatcher memory storage capacity is low, the LED
indicator will flash red. No function of the SceneCatcher
has yet been initiated. The flashing red LED indicates
the standby/ready mode with low memory. To free up
additional space on the SceneCatcher, copy images and
videos to a PC and delete them from the SceneCatcher.
When memory capacity has been reached, the
SceneCatcher LED will illuminate solid red to indicate the
memory is full.
