Mariner Warnings and Cautions:
For best results and user safety, the following warnings and cautions
should always be followed when handling and operating your camera.
Caution! The ThermoVision®Mariner imaging system is not
intended to be used as the primary navigation system.
It should be used in conjunction with other navigation
aids and a primary manual navigation system.
Do not open the camera body for any reason.
Disassembly of the camera (including removal of the
cover) can cause permanent damage and will void the
warranty.
Great care should be exercised with your camera
optics. They are delicate and can be damaged with
improper cleaning. Refer to paragraph 4.2.1
“Cleaning” on page 17.
Operating the camera outside of the specified input
voltage range or the specified operating temperature
range can cause permanent damage.
Do not image extremely high intensity radiation
sources, such as the sun, lasers, arc welders, etc.
The camera is a precision optical instrument and
should not be exposed to excessive shock and/or
vibration. Refer to Chapter 6 “Technical Data” on page
23 for detailed environmental requirements.

2 Introduction
Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and important
instruments that you will have on your vessel. The FLIR ThermoVision®
Mariner is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging system that will provide you
with excellent night visibility and situational awareness without any form
of natural or artificial illumination.
The ThermoVision® Mariner system is designed for simple, intuitive
operation. The basic system includes a pan and tilt camera assembly and
a remote joystick for steering the camera. It uses standard 12V battery
power and provides a composite video output compatible with standard
display systems. Imagery from the camera can be displayed on a variety of
video monitors, including most multi-function plotter/displays (MFDs)
used with electronic navigation charts. The output is NTSC or PAL, the
same format used on standard televisions and VCRs. It features a wide
field of view and is capable of providing an image even in absolute
darkness.
