What are the consequences of scanning too fast? We see the consequences of this played out daily in the fire service. The majority of the issues are due to the end user failing to scan properly: 1. Scans should start low not high: Firefighters who start high will cause the TIC to switch to low sensitivity (or medium sensitivity in the X380) and this causes a loss of detail in the lower cooler regions where victims may be located along with information regarding layout of the structure. 2. Scans should encompass the entire room from floor-wall-ceiling-wall. In many cases, we see firefighters scanning simply shoulder to shoulder but not turning their body or looking up or down. 3. Failing to wipe the lens: This causes moisture to build up on the lens and causes a white-out effect or a loss of detail. 4. Failing to understand the TICs abilities when it switches from high to low sensitivity: Firefighters are caught off guard when the TIC encounters heat and freezes. If the TIC freezes or lags, it is not broken! Firefighters must freeze to allow the TIC to adjust to the heat. As the human eye takes a moment to adjust from darkness to bright light, so does the TIC take time to adjust from cold to extreme heat.

Attic fire, nozzle is open early, the crew flows & moves to the area of involvement with no vent in front of them. The fire is obliterated. @flir
