1. Introduction  
Thank you for choosing the X200xp Thermal Imaging Camera.  
With its small size, rugged design, and simplicity, you can now  
focus on the job at hand, rather than the camera in your hand.  
Before using this camera, please read these instructions carefully,  
and retain them for future reference.  
Welcome to Infrared  
L-3 Infrared Products (IP) has long been a leader in the production  
and development of military products based on infrared thermal  
imaging. In an effort to make this technology more widely  
available, L-3 IP’s engineers and scientists developed many unique  
ways of translating infrared energy into visible imagery. Now L-3  
IP is providing affordable thermal imaging solutions for fire, law  
enforcement, marine, security, and other commercial uses.  
Infrared energy, often referred to as “infrared” or “IR,” is  
electromagnetic radiation that travels in a straight line through  
space, similar to visible light. Although infrared shares some of the  
properties of visible light, its different wavelength has several  
unique characteristics. For instance, materials that are opaque to  
visible light may be transparent to infrared, and vice–versa. Also,  
unlike visible light, which is given off by ordinary objects only at  
very high temperatures (e.g. light bulbs), long wavelength infrared  
(7–14 µm) is emitted by all objects at ordinary temperatures. This  
means infrared is all around us all the time, even in the dark.  
Different objects give off varying amounts of infrared, depending  
on the temperature of the object.

The X200xp was designed to sense differing amounts of long  
wavelength infrared coming from the various areas of a scene and  
to convert them to corresponding intensities of visible light on a  
display. This allows true see–in–the–dark capability, as well as the  
ability to discern additional information—differences in  
temperature—by observing the thermal properties of objects in any  
light condition.

Handling & Precautions  
All batteries can cause property damage or bodily injury if a  
conductive material such as jewelry or keys touch exposed  
terminals. Exercise care when placing batteries inside a  
pocket, case, or other container with metal objects.  
Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere,  
such as a gas station or any place where you might normally  
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Contact sparking  
may occur and cause an explosion.  
Do not remove power – removing batteries or disconnecting  
optional external power supply – without first turning the  
camera off using the on/off switch.  
Do not permanently attach this camera to dynamic–mount  
applications, such as on vehicles or heavy machinery, in which  
transmitted vibration is continuously sustained.  
Never point this camera directly into the sun, welding arcs, or  
any other extreme intensity objects that you would not view  
with your eyes. Doing so will damage the Camera.

Batteries  
The camera will operate from several battery types – Alkaline,  
Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMh) rechargeable, or Lithium - as  
long as the Batteries are AA size.  
The camera does not have an internal battery charger. If using  
rechargeable batteries, they must be charged with a separate  
external charger.  
Replacing Batteries  
Before removing/replacing batteries, always ensure the camera  
is first turned off. Failure to first turn the camera off may  
result in a “flickering” or “ghost-image” display the next time  
the camera is turned on.  
In case (above), the display will correct itself after a 5-10  
minute waiting period. Note: This waiting period can be with  
the camera either on (operating) or off (stored).

Batteries  
When replacing batteries, always replace BOTH batteries.  
Mixing a fresh battery with a partially discharged battery is  
potentially hazardous.  
Never mix battery types (Alkaline, rechargeable, Lithium,  
etc). Both batteries must be of the same type.  
Remove batteries if the camera is to be stored for extended  
periods (2 weeks or more).  
Always follow the battery manufacturers’ directions for proper  
disposal of batteries.  
Turning on the Power  
Switch on the on/off knob  
Turn the on/off dial knob

Camera Warm-Up  
The camera requires approximately 3 seconds of warm-up time.  
During these 1st 3 seconds after the camera is switched on, a logo  
will appear in the Display. After 3 seconds have passed, the logo  
will disappear, and video of the thermal scene will begin.  
Camera Shutter  
To maintain an optimum Thermal Image, the X200xp will  
automatically shutter. During this shutter, the video will freeze for  
approximately ½ second, and a faint “click” sound may be heard  
inside the camera. Shuttering will occur in the 1st 4 minutes after  
turning on the camera at 30-second intervals. Otherwise, the  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
camera will shutter only if it’s internal temperature changes by 100c  
or more.  
Automatic Contrast  
Video contrast is constantly adjusted either higher or lower, based  
upon the informational content in the scene.  
When viewing people, automobiles, boats, and other warm objects  
at close range, the video gain will automatically be decreased to  
provide more detail on facial features and flat surfaces.  
When viewing a scene with low informational content, i.e. a park,  
field, or roadway, the video gain is automatically increased to  
provide more detail in the background of the scene, i.e. trees,  
bushes, roadway edges.  
Checking the Battery Power  
A battery icon will appear in the built-in LCD display, to indicate  
the approximate amount of charge remaining in the batteries. New  
Alkaline Batteries will generally provide enough charge for  
approximately 2 hours of operation, while new Lithium Batteries  
will provide enough charge for approximately 6 hours of operation.  
FULL  
EMPTY  
Operating Time is based on a display set to minimum brightness  
(night-time setting), and camera at room temperature.  
Very Low or Very High temperatures, and Brightness Setting of the  
Display, could reduce the expected time of operation by 50%.  
The battery icon is most accurate when using Alkaline batteries, and  
slightly less accurate when using NiMh or Lithium batteries.

viewing range from 15ft to  
infinity. In the Far Focus  
position, objects from 15ft to  
infinity will be in focus. By  
rotating the Lens,  
FAR  
Focus

Focus  
objects as close as 4ft  
can be brought into  
focus.  
The Lens may feel difficult to turn. This is normal, and is due to the tight  
serequired to make the camera waterproof.  
Cleaning  
Do not apply any chemicals to the camera.  
Clean the body of the camera using a water-moistened cloth.  
Clean the Lens with a cleaner/cloth that has been specially  
formulated for cleaning camera lenses – one is provided, and  
if additional cloths are needed, they may be purchased from  
any camera retailer.
