How to Update Your Si2 Camera

The Si1 and Si2-series cameras can be updated using Over The Air (OTA) update, or through USB. To update your camera through USB, please follow the instructions below. Make sure that you read all the steps before attempting the update.

Requirements:

• Ensure that the battery is fully charged. You will not receive any warning or message before starting the update
• To ensure a successful update installation, we recommend utilizing an unrestricted computer or workstation. This will help prevent any loss of information during the download or transfer process
• Use the USB flash drive supplied with the camera and make sure that the drive is empty.
• Disable the Wi-Fi on the device. Settings -> Network Settings -> Disable Wi-Fi

Instructions:

• 1. Insert the USB stick into the USB port and wait for a couple of seconds (an hourglass/waiting icon appears on the screen)

Please make sure that the internal Si2 memory does not contain any snapshot files, otherwise the USB update will not start.

*NOTE: DO NOT remove the USB stick until the camera instructs you to remove it, see image on step nr 4.

• 2. Wait until the following prompt message is displayed: "Update file detected. Apply? Yes or No", tap on Yes.
• 3. An status message is shown: "Please wait. copying update file...", the update is in process, please wait for 15 minutes.
• 4. Once the installation is completed, a confirmation message will appear: "Update copied. Remove the USB stick and restart the device to apply the update.", please tap OK
• 5. Now you can restart the camera. To restart the camera, first turn it off by long-pressing the power button until it turns red. Wait until it the Red LED light stops glowing, then turn it back on by short-pressing the button until it turns green.

Installation:

• 1. When turning on the camera, the device screen displays that the update is being installed
• 2. Wait until the installation is completed, this process takes around 10 minutes
• 3. The camera will display the FLIR logo, and then switch to the main screen (live view). The update has been now been installed successfully

*Note: If the mode selection at start up is enabled, the camera will display the mode selection screen first. Select a mode and then accept to be directed to the live view

Verification:

• 1. To confirm that your camera software is up-to-date, look at the text box at the bottom of the screen after pressing the settings menu. The device info displays the latest version of the software
• 2. The camera is ready for normal operation

If your camera currently has 25H1, follow the instructions in FLIR Customer Help – Option 1: Automatic Update Notification

If your camera has an older release than 25H1, follow the instructions in FLIR Customer Help – Step 2: Camera Update OTA

Features

• Mechanical fault detection for early identification of bearing problems, preventing costly downtime
• Quantify leak rate and cost of industrial gas and compressed air leaks, to prioritize repair and calculate savings
• On-camera and in-software severity assessment and type classification of partial discharge (PD) issues
• Automatic frequency tuning, 8x zoom, 12 MP digital camera, GPS data integration, IP54 rating, and a QR code reader
• Fleet management functionality for efficient tool usage and maintenance across large-scale operations
• Detect, locate, classify and assess partial discharge faults, compressed air and gas, and identify bearing issues efficiently
• Intuitive, light weight, one handed operation requiring minimal training
• On-device partial discharge type and severity analysis with recommended actions
• On camera measurement and cost analysis for compressed air and common industrial gases including ammonia, hydrogen, CO₂, methane, helium and argon 
• Bearing assessment
• Provides a greater return on investment for ultrasound inspection because the ease of use does not require experienced, trained technicians to get meaningful results
• Market demand to expand inspections beyond finding compressed air leaks and high voltage, overhead component partial discharge
• MECH mode camera operation allows quick detection and measurement of bearing and other mechanical issues that can lead to costly production disruption or safety hazards (three metrics provided for mechanical fault measurement)
• Industrial gas quantification provides leak detection, leak rate and cost quantification for compressed air, methane, natural gas, ammonia, hydrogen, helium, and argon to find and prioritize repairs, and maximize return on investment
• Lights can make a big difference: This camera features dual LED lamps to illuminate nearby dark areas
