The lens shroud is attached to the front plate of the
enclosure by three ¼-20 socket head cap screws. The lens
tube is attached to the lens shroud and does not need
separate removal.
1. Turn the ¼-20 socket head cap screws counter clock-
wise to remove them from the front plate. The lens
shroud, lens tube, and air fittings come off as one
piece.
2. Align second lens with the threaded holes and
insert the three ¼-20 socket head cap screws. Turn
them clockwise to tighten.
Installing the Radiation Heat
Shield
The radiation shield can be secured at a variable distance
from the camera enclosure depending on the application
and the lens being used. The adjustable radiation shield
can be used as a stop so that the lens is not inserted
beyond the refractory and have the lens in the port
longer. Setting the radiation shield insertion depth is also
used to help protect the user from flying debris and posi-
tive pressure.
Installing the Radiation Heat Shield
1. Slide the radiation shield over the lens shroud. The
collar on the radiation shield should face the yellow
camera housing.
2. Secure the radiation shield in place using the (3)
thumb screws.
Caution: Proper clothing, gloves, and eye protection
should be worn when inserting the camera into a port
per plant safety regulations.
Removing the Radiation Heat Shield
1. Loosen the three (3) thumb screws.
2. Slide the heat shield away from the yellow camera
housing along the lens shroud.
Warning: Utilize extreme caution when removing the
radiation shield because the lens shroud and radiation
shield can be extremely hot. It is recommended that
you let the temperature of the lens and radiation shield
naturally cool to 50 °C (120 °F) before disassembly. This
is required for user protection and for the high tempera-
ture optics. The optics need to cool by natural convection
to preserve their integrity.
Before storing the camera lens and radiation shield in
the storage case make sure that all the equipment have
cooled to less than 50 °C (120 °F) to prevent melting the
case foam.
Connecting the Air Filters and
Hoses (Optional)
Connect air to the camera system if you intend to leave
the camera inserted into the furnace for longer term
measurements or continuous monitoring. LumaSense
offers an optional air filter and hose kit for use with the
BoilerSpection-IM camera. The kit incorporates a quick-
connect fitting to attach the air hose to the inlet on the
BoilerSpection camera. Drawings of this kit are provided
in Chapter 7 of manual.
The system includes a Chicago type fitting to connect to
the plant instrument air supply.
Installing the Handle
If your system was ordered in a storage case, the handle
will be installed. If your system was ordered in a travel
case, then the handle needs to be screwed clockwise into
the base of the camera. To remove the handle, turn it
counter-clockwise.
Caution: Gloves should be worn when holding the
camera in a furnace per the local plant’s safety regula-
tions.
Using the Onboard Display
An onboard display is attached to a flexible arm allowing
you to adjust the position of the display during use. The
display has an integrated digital video recording (DVR) to
save images and video to a micro-SD memory card. The
flexible arm allows the display to be positioned to either
the left side or the right side of the camera for the user’s
convenience.
