Description  
The TI2500 Series combines a powerful advanced thermal imaging device in a compact fixed-mount environmental enclosure.  
The TI2500 Series cameras support serial communication for control of camera focus and other features. The serial protocol is user-configurable  
using a DIP switch on the camera assembly. Also, the cameras are preconfigured to support either RS-232 or RS-422 protocols.  
The TI2535 camera features a focal length of 35 mm, providing a short to medium field of view of 20 degrees and is well suited for short range  
threat detection in all circumstances. Utilizing a 50 mm lens, the TI2550 serves as a medium- to long-range surveillance camera and provides a  
14 degree horizontal field of view. This focal length is widely deployed because it provides an even balance between situational awareness and  
detailed perspective.

Click the Reset button to restart the camera software; this function is nearly identical to cycling camera power.  
FLAT FIELD CORRECTION  
Flat Field Correction (FFC) controls how the camera regularly adjusts its thermal settings to optimize its image. This process takes about  
0.5 seconds. During this process, there may be a lag in image quality.  
Before performing the FFC process, the camera warns the operator by displaying a small blinking box in the upper-left corner. This indicator  
appears for 2 seconds.  
Adjust the FFC Interval or Temp Change settings to set the frequency of the FFC calibration sequence. While it is strongly discouraged, you can  
also turn off this feature by setting the AGC mode to Manual (refer to AGC Mode on page 20.)  
The following sections describe how to use each FFC option (refer to Figure 6).

PAN AND ZOOM  
Zoom 2x  
The camera has a built-in 2X digital zoom capability. The “Zoom 2x” check box is used to turn on/off the camera zoom. With the check box  
cleared, the camera displays the image at full resolution (320 x 240 NTSC or 320 x 256 PAL). This full-resolution image is also called the full-array  
area.  
When the “Zoom 2x” check box is selected, a smaller portion of the video displays, creating a zoom effect. This reduced, or “zoomed,” area of the  
video is called the zoomed array region.  
18  
C1309M-A (9/08)  
 
   
Pan  
When the “Zoom 2x” check box is selected, you can move the zoomed array region within the full-array area; this digitally simulates panning and  
tilting. Panning and tilting are defined as moving the camera image in the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively.  
There are two methods to pan and tilt using the GUI: adjust the vertical and horizontal sliders to move the zoomed array region or enter absolute  
offsets from the center to shift the zoomed array region.  
When entering absolute offsets, the center of the image is defined as coordinate (0,0). The horizontal and vertical offsets you enter define the  
center of the zoomed array region. For NTSC applications, enter a value from 0-80 for the horizontal coordinate and 0-60 for the vertical  
coordinate; for PAL applications, enter a value from 0-80 for the horizontal coordinate and 0-64 for the vertical coordinate. Increasing the values  
moves the displayed image up or to the right. Each integer value change offsets the zoomed array region either one row of pixels horizontally (tilt)  
or one column of pixels vertically (pan).  
Simple experimentation while viewing the displayed image will quickly give you familiarity with this feature.  
DYNAMIC DETAIL ENHANCEMENT (DDE)  
There are three DDE settings available: Filter Gain, Filter Control, and Spatial Control.  
Use the DDE settings to set the digital sharpness of the camera. Increasing the DDE settings can enhance image detail in some scenes; higher  
DDE settings also increase image noise. Decreasing the DDE settings can soften image detail in some scenes, that is, lose some image detail;  
however, lower DDE settings also decrease image noise. Select the settings that are best for the scene. General guidelines for high and low  
dynamic range scenes are as follows:  
Low Dynamic Range Scenes: Filter Gain should be set to 16, Filter Control should be set to 100 (default), and Spatial Control should be set  
to 0 (zero).  
High Dynamic Range Scenes: Filter Gain, Filter Control, and Spatial Control settings should remain at their factory defaults of 32, 100, and  
15, respectively.

AGC TAB  
The default settings on the automatic gain control (AGC) tab offer the best image quality for most scenes. You can make AGC adjustments to  
configure the camera to produce no image or an all black image. Restoring the factory defaults will return the camera to its factory default  
settings and likely restore normal camera operation (refer to Factory Defaults on page 15). In most cases, leave the AGC mode set to Automatic,  
and use the ITT Mean and Max Gain settings to adjust the brightness and contrast of your display (refer to AGC Parameters on page 21).

Figure 8. TI25 GUI AGC Tab  
AGC MODE  
The Automatic setting for automatic gain control (AGC) mode generally gives the best video results. In certain scenes and on certain monitors, it  
may be possible to improve performance or increase detail by changing the Mode settings. Only advanced users with extensive thermal imaging  
experience should use modes other than Automatic.  
The following settings are available for Mode:  
Automatic (default): The camera automatically adjusts contrast and brightness as the scene varies.  
Once Bright: The camera calculates brightness as the mean of the current scene at the time when the “Once Bright” setting is activated.  
Auto Bright: The camera calculates brightness as the mean of the current scene, just as in the “Once Bright” mode. The difference is that  
the brightness values are calculated using real time, not only at the time of AGC mode selection.  
Manual: Manually set contrast and brightness using the sliders in the Linear Parameters section.  
Linear Histogram: The camera automatically optimizes contrast and brightness based on scene statistics using a linear transfer function.  
Depending on the Mode setting you select, different Linear Parameter and AGC Parameter settings will become available or unavailable. Refer to  
20  
C1309M-A (9/08)  
 
     
LINEAR PARAMETERS  
The linear parameters are made available depending on the mode selected.  
The following settings are available for Linear Parameters:  
Contrast: Use the Contrast setting to adjust the contrast across the color palette.  
Increase the Contrast setting to represent midrange temperatures closer to the extremes.  
Decrease the Contrast setting to represent extreme temperatures closer to the midrange.  
Brightness: The Brightness setting is only available when the AGC Mode is set to Manual. If used, this setting must be constantly  
adjusted to compensate for changes in the brightness of a scene.  
Brightness Bias: Use the Brightness Bias setting to adjust how the color palette represents the temperature range of the image.  
Increase the Brightness Bias setting to push the color palette to a warmer range of temperatures: warmer temperatures appear as hot,  
cooler temperatures appear as warmer, and cold temperatures appear as cool.  
Decrease the Brightness Bias setting to push the color palette to a cooler range of temperatures: cooler temperatures appear as cold,  
warmer temperatures appear as cooler, and hot temperatures appear as warm.  
AGC PARAMETERS  
The AGC Parameters are only available when AGC Mode is set to Automatic.  
The following settings are available for AGC Parameters:  
Plateau Value: Use the Plateau Value setting to limit the camera's contrast algorithm. The default for this setting is 250. In scenes with  
high dynamic range, you may want to turn this setting down to 100.  
ITT Mean: Use the Intensity Transfer Table (ITT) Mean to adjust the display brightness. The default for this setting is 140. Adjusting this  
setting may limit the camera's dynamic range ability.  
Max Gain: Use the Max Gain setting to adjust the display contrast. The factory default setting is 8. In most cases this setting should not be  
adjusted lower than 4 or higher than 16.  
REGION OF INTEREST  
You can set a Region of Interest (ROI) or a rectangle of pixels from the image that the AGC algorithm will use for its calculations. The ROI can be  
set for either the entire frame size or some smaller portion of the image.  
The settings use an X,Y coordinate system with (0,0) at the center of the sensor array and specify two corners of the ROI rectangle. The upper  
two numbers labeled (Left,Top) are the pixel coordinates of the upper-left corner of the ROI rectangle. The lower two numbers labeled  
(Right,Bottom) define the lower-right corner of the ROI rectangle.

Installation  
The TI2500 Series fixed-mount thermal imager can be mounted using an appropriate wall, ceiling, or pedestal mount (refer to the product  
specification sheet for a list of compatible mounts). For proper installation, refer to the instructions supplied with the mount. The enclosure  
should be attached to the mount by a minimum of two 1/4-20 fasteners (not supplied).  
WARNINGS:  
Do not install the thermal imager without the sun shield; doing so will void the product’s warranty.  
Always use a service loop, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 to further prevent water leakage.  
During setup, keep the lens cover on the camera to avoid scratching the lens. Be sure to remove the lens cover after installation is  
complete.

Troubleshooting  
NOTE: The system contains no user-serviceable parts. If there is a problem with your system, it must be returned to Pelco for servicing.  
Symptom: Degrading video quality  
Occasionally, image quality may degrade.  
1. Perform a manual FFC. After manually performing this process, the camera restarts the frequency clock and resets the baseline temperature  
2. If the problem persists, perform the troubleshooting steps in Symptom: No video or poor video.  
Symptom: System does not operate  
1. Check the system input voltage.  
2. The TI2500 Series thermal imager is protected by a resettable overcurrent protective device located in the transformer module. Whenever a  
fault condition happens in the system causing excessive current flow through the protective device, a change occurs that will prevent  
current flow. The protective device remains in this state as long as power is applied and the system fault continues. The protective device  
resets itself after power has been removed for a few minutes, and then operates normally when the system fault has been repaired.  
3. Check the system power and video BNC connections.  
4. Check that a fuse has not blown.  
DANGER: Failure to disconnect power to the camera before replacing a fuse could result in accidental injury or death.  
The system is fuse-protected against overvoltage. A blown fuse is an indication that either the circuit has been overloaded or that a short has  
occurred somewhere in the circuit. A wiring problem may be placing too much load on the circuit if a fuse blows after plugging in or turning on  
the camera. Before replacing the fuse it is important to identify what has caused the failure.  
Prior to changing a fuse, turn off the electrical circuit or completely disconnect the camera. Make certain that no dangerous conditions exist  
before restoring power. Replace the fuse with a 2 A blade fuse (Bussmann® ATM-2 or equivalent). Never use anything other than a fuse of proper  
rating.  
Symptom: No video or poor video  
1. Check the system power and video BNC connections.  
2. Check all coaxial BNC connectors from the camera to the monitor.  
3. Make sure the controller is set for the correct camera-to-monitor viewing combination; for example, Camera 1 to Monitor 1. Refer to the  
controller manual for information.  
4. Check for normal load termination of 75 ohms. When looping through VCRs or multiplexers, make sure the signal is terminated at the end  
device. Typical termination symptoms and problems are listed below.  
Table E. Termination Symptoms and Problems  
Symptom  
Problem  
Extremely bright video  
No termination or high resistance  
Double termination (37.5 ohms)  
Over contrast or contrast level of monitor  
needs to be increased to maximum for a  
good video image  
Symptom: Unable to view activity through glass  
When the camera is pointed at a window, it cannot detect activity behind the glass. This is a limitation of thermal imaging technology. Consider  
repositioning the camera.

Maintenance  
CLEANING THE LENS  
1. Saturate a piece of optical-grade tissue with deionized water and drape it over the lens.  
2. Let the surface tension of the water pull the tissue onto the surface of the lens, and then drag the tissue across the lens.  
3. Repeat this procedure several times, using a new piece of tissue each time.  
4. Saturate a piece of optical-grade tissue with isopropyl alcohol.  
5. Repeat step 2.  
6. Drag the piece of tissue with isopropyl alcohol over the lens several times to prevent liquid from pooling, which could leave a residue on the  
lens.
