Care Instructions - Bullard T4X Manual De Instrucciones

Do not allow the metal contacts on the label side of the battery to
come in contact with a conductive surface, such as a metal table or another
battery. This can complete the battery circuit and cause the battery to overheat
or melt. Failure to observe this warning may result in permanent battery damage,
property damage and/or serious injury.
Strap Assemblies
Side Straps
The side straps are designed to be field replaceable. Users can order replacements and install
them without having to return the thermal imager to the factory.
Removing/Installing the Side Straps
To remove either of the right or left side straps,
loosen the strap and pull it through the strap loop
located on either side of the LCD display (Figure
6) . Remove the screw that holds the strap to the
imager. To install, fasten the strap to the unit using
the screw provided. Do not overtighten. Feed the
strap through the strap loop and adjust to the
desired length.
Adjusting the Side Straps
To adjust a side strap, loosen the hook and loop and set to the desired length.
Combination Strap
The combination strap (Figure 7) can be used either as a wrist strap to keep the imager from
falling if it should slip from your hand, or as a gear strap, hooked directly onto your turnout
gear or SCBA. As a wrist strap, the adjustable strap fits over the sleeve of your turnout gear
and can adjust to any size wrist. The strap can be easily attached to either D-ring located on
the thermal imager. As a gear strap, the strap can be attached to a D-ring on your turnout
gear or SCBA and to a D-ring on the thermal imager. A quick release buckle serves as a safety
release mechanism in case the thermal imager ever becomes lodged inhibiting movement.
Depress the buckle and the thermal imager releases from the strap.
Retractable Strap (Optional)
Bullard offers a retractable strap (part number T3RETRACT) that can be used with the T4X, so
that it is always at the ready. The strap, purchased separately, can be mounted to a D-ring on
your turnout gear coat and connected to a D-Ring on the T4X.

Care Instructions

The Bullard T4X Thermal Imager requires little maintenance. For best results, after each
use:
• Clean the outside of the unit with mild soap or detergent.
• Wipe the lens with a soft cloth.
• Clean the display with a soft cloth.
• Check screw tightness on side straps and cover display
• Store your thermal imager in the optional truck mount or in the delivery case provided.
• Maintain your thermal imagers using a proper program.
Cleaning the Lens
The Bullard T4X lens is recessed in an impact resistant bezel. The lens can be cleaned with a
soft cloth and soapy water as required.
Replacing the Video Display Cover Window
The display cover (Figure 8) has a scratch-resistant
hard coating to minimize marring. However, if heavy
scratching or gouging does occur, the cover window can
be replaced. To do this, simply remove the four screws
along the top and bottom of the window. Remove the
plastic display cover window and replace with a new
one (part number T4WINDOW) making sure that the
countersink slots around the mounting holes are facing
outward. Do not overtighten.

Thermal imaging is not a technology designed to replace current firefighting tactics. Rather, it is a
tool that allows firefighters to be more effective and to make better decisions.
