1 1 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 11-NFPA [ New Section after ] * This standard shall also specify the minimum requirements for the design, performance, testing, and certification of thermal imagers certified to an earlier edition of this standard that incorporate parts, components, and/or software to meet this edition of the standard. Supplemental Information File Name NFPA_1801_A docx Description Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 20:04:18 EDT 2016 It is often desired by end users and owners of thermal imagers certified to earlier editions of this standard to receive updated parts, components and software that have been certified to the latest edition of this standard. To allow this in an open manner and to optimize the approval application process, this paragraph has been added such that the latest revision of the standard will be used for the certification of the new parts to certify their use on earlier edition thermal imagers. As an example, new firmware for placing an icon into the display of earlier thermal imagers so that they can be updated accordingly. For this to occur, the latest edition of the standard is to be used for the testing and modification to the previous certification.

2 A It may be desired by users of thermal imagers certified to earlier editions of this standard to incorporate updated parts, components or software to allow certification to the latest edition of this standard. This paragraph has been added so that the latest revision of the standard may be used for devices containing new parts, components or software to upgrade the certification to the current edition.

Both the 2008 and 2015 editions of the standard are being referenced in this revision of the standard to allow manufacturers a sufficient amount of time to transition their quality management system's registration to this new edition.

12 10 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 14-NFPA [ New Section after ] Thermal imagers originally certified to the previous edition of this standard that have been upgraded to meet this edition shall have the following statement legibly printed. All letters shall be at least 2 mm ( 1 16 in.) in height. The label shall not be restricted to one line. The original NFPA required labeling shall not be removed or covered by the upgrade label. UPGRADED TO NFPA 1801, 2018 EDITION. Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 20:12:31 EDT 2016 It is often desired by end users and owners of thermal imagers certified to earlier editions of this standard to receive updated parts, components and software that have been certified to the latest edition of this standard. To allow this in an open manner and to optimize the approval application process, this paragraph has been added such that the latest revision of the standard will be used for the certification of the new parts to certify their use on earlier edition thermal imagers. As an example, new firmware for placing an icon into the display of earlier thermal imagers so that they can be updated accordingly. For this to occur, the latest edition of the standard is to be used for the testing and modification to the previous certification.

13 11 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 4-NFPA [ New Section after ] The thermal imager shall incorporate a sensor engine consisting of an infrared sensor with at least 76,800 imaging pixels Video output shall be displayed on a display device consisting of at least 76,800 display pixels, where each display pixel can render all colors required in the standard. Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 12:30:00 EDT 2016 Currently there is no minimum resolution requirement in the standard. In committee work conducted for prior versions of 1801, it was determined that in order to clearly resolve a firefighters fingers in a gloved hand from a distance of 15 feet, a minimum resolution of 320x240 was required. The SR test has not been fully successful in accomplishing this. Therefore, the technical committee believes it is time to simply require a minimum sensor resolution.

17 14 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 8-NFPA [ Section No ] Thermal Imager-On Indicator. A If an additional visual indication to the user other than a usable image on the display exists to indicate that the thermal imager is in the powered-on operational mode (other than a usable image on the display), the indicator shall be visible to the user any time the thermal imager is powered on The powered-on operational mode indicator shall operate independently of the display such that the failure of the display shall not affect the activation and operation of the powered-on operational mode indicator. Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 16:45:18 EDT 2016 Many of the new model cameras do not have a conventional stand-by mode, where the camera display is turned off to reduce the time to return-to-operation. Therefore the need for a second indicator is redundant. Paragraph is being delete because it is covered in

18 15 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 9-NFPA [ New Section after ] Audio/Video Recording Indicator All thermal imagers equipped with audio or video, or both, recording capabilities shall have a visual indicator The audio/video recording icon shall consist of a solid red circle with a green border The audio/video recording icon shall be positioned in the left vertical section, above the location of the TI BASIC PLUS Icon, below a horizontal midline as shown in Figure The indicator shall be displayed anytime the thermal imager is recording audio or video, or both, content irrespective of the selected TI BASIC or TI BASIC PLUS operational format. Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 16:51:57 EDT 2016 The technical committee is adding a section on audio or video recording indicators to ensure that the user is aware that the image or audio or both is being recorded.

19 16 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 1-NFPA [ Section No ] Thermal imagers shall be listed to ANSI/ISA , Nonincendive Electrical Equipment for Use in Class I and II, Division 2 and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 Hazardous (Classified) Locations, and shall meet the performance (test) requirements for at least Class I, Division 2, Groups C and D and Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G hazardous locations, and with a temperature class within the range of T3 through T6 inclusive. For the purpose of the impact test referenced in 15.4 of ANSI/ISA , NFPA 1801 shall be considered the applicable standard for products in unclassified locations. Assessment shall include all user removable parts in isolation and the action of removing them from the camera in the powered and unpowered state. Where the use of a tool-secured feature is relied upon to meet the ANSI/ISA compliance, and this feature is not automatically engaged, the camera shall inform the user by way of a message that prevents normal use of the camera. Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 11:26:22 EDT 2016 The TC is revising the text to allow the option of automatic engaging of the battery to meet the ANSI requirement.

20 17 of 17 8/31/2016 9:19 AM Second Revision No. 5-NFPA [ Section No ] Specimens shall be optimally focused to 1 m by the manufacturer for this test. If the thermal imager incorporates a visible-light camera or other sensor whose output is overlaid onto, or fused with, the thermal image, the sensor shall be disabled prior to conducting the test so that only the thermal image output is used to influence image recognition test results. Submittal Date: Tue Jul 12 12:33:04 EDT 2016 Recently, some thermal cameras have been designed and marketed that incorporate a visible light camera output overlaid on to the thermal image. While the fused image enhances the performance of thermal cameras in ambient light environments, especially for thermal cameras using low resolution FPAs, image enhancement using visible light sensors are not useful in smoke conditions.
