WARNING:
WARNING:WARNING:
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT OPERATE WITH CAMERA COVER
REMOVED.
DO NOT OPEN COVERS AS THERE ARE NO
USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
1) Instructions: Read all safety and operating instructions
before operating your Thermal Security Camera.
2) Cleaning: To clean camera housing, use only a soft cloth
dampened with water. To clean camera lens, use a soft
cotton cloth and mild neutral soap diluted with lukewarm
distilled water (1 part soap to 100 parts water), followed by
use cotton swab or lens cleaning cloth dampened with
reagent grade isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Acetone will
damage plastic components of the camera.
3) Servicing: Do not remove the cover. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel. Opening the TSC4500 will void your
warranty.
4) Power Sources: This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources refer to the operating instructions.
5) Restriction of Use Environments: The unit is not intended
or warranted for use in the following conditions. Damage
resulting from such exposure would not be covered by the
warranty.
Unit is intended for outdoor applications. A solar
shield is available to limit sun’s heating of the
TSC4500 body.
Unit is not intended to operate submerged in water.
However, the TSC4500 is designed to withstand
immersion or exposure to rain or high humidity.

Unit is not intended for exposure to a salt-water
atmosphere.
Unit is not intended for dynamic–mount applications,
such as on vehicles or heavy machinery, in which
transmitted vibration is continuously sustained.
Unit (whether powered On or Off) is not intended for
viewing of direct or indirect (reflected) sunlight. Unit
is intended for non-horizon exposure looking
downward from intended mounting plane. Exposure
to the sunlight, for even very short periods of time,
may permanently damage the camera and therefore
nullify any warranties.
Unit is not intended for intentional or unintentional
exposure directed towards solar activities, welding, or
other activities of similar heat dynamics, which if
performed may damage the camera and therefore will
nullify any warranties.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Infrared Imaging
Visible light, the rainbow of colors that can be sensed by the
human eye, is electromagnetic radiation within a certain
frequency band. ‘Infra-‘ means ‘below’ and ‘red’ is the lowest
frequency in the visible spectrum. Hence, ‘infrared’ (or ‘IR’)
refers to that range of electromagnetic wavelengths just below
that capable of sight by the human eye. In the IR range,
energy from a scene is not sensed by sight ‘light but rather by
temperature.
Most objects that you see are not radiating visible light but
instead, are reflecting light radiated from another source.
Most objects have to be heated to extreme temperatures before
they radiate energy in the visible light spectrum. However,
energy in the infrared range is being radiated by all objects
that are above absolute zero (-459F). Hence, everything has a
thermal signature, regardless of light conditions.
Your TSC4500 infrared detecting system distinguishes
between very small differences in thermal (infrared) radiation,
converts it to electrical signals, amplifies those differences,
and reproduces them correspondingly in the visible light
(video) range. Powerful advantages are achieved in being able
to turn a pitch black night into a black and white TV image of
the scene. As your infrared knowledge and experience grows,
further applications will develop as you recognize heat clues
beyond the naked eye in both day and night conditions.

Product Line
The Thermal Security Camera 4500 (TSC4500) is part of L3
Communications Infrared Products (L-3 IP) Thermal-Eye
TM
family of un-cooled infrared camera product lines. The
TSC4500 utilizes amorphous silicon bolometer technology in
a Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) camera designed as a drop-in
replacement for CCTV cameras for new and existing security
systems. The TSC4500 provides the advantage of viewing

scenes in total darkness and in some conditions of smoke, dust
and fog. Unlike many of the low-light security cameras, the
TSC4500 does not require any kind of IR illuminator or any
visible light.
The TSC4500 camera operates with a 9-30 Volt DC.
The TSC4500 camera offers an optional interface cable design
that comes in a variety of lengths, 3ft, 15ft and 30ft, to allow
the customer to integrate into their system.
L-3 IP also offers an optional breakout interface cable to
operate the TSC4500 camera. This cable facilitates the user
for bench top checkout and also to power the camera with a
24VAC power converter kit available from L-3 IP to be
compatible with most CCTV setups. The interface cable has
flying leads (wires) for power, video on a BNC output, and a
serial connector for RS-232 communication.
The optional 24VAC power converter accessory allows the
user the flexibility to easily install the camera into the many
existing CCTV systems that use 24VAC. The 24VAC
converter can be used in a user’s junction box with the
standard interface cable or placed inside a weatherized
enclosure.
The TSC4500 camera model is rated IP67 and has an optional
shroud cover compatible for outdoor solar shielding use.
The TSC4500 camera model has an accessory Developer’s Kit
that allows access by the user through the RS-232 Interface
I/O to the following discrete controls:
•Polarity (WHT, BHT)
•
E-zoom (1X, 2X etc.)
•
Shutter (the TSC
4500
has a bi-phase shutter that can be
commanded “closed’ to protect the FPA detector to
solar exposure when power is OFF) & touch-up
