equipment distance require-
ments are met when systems
are installed.
Other
98. Check distance from objects
for setting thermal imager
ranges and determining
distance to spot accuracy
on infrared thermometers.
99. Determine distance
between surveillance
cameras and subjects to get
desired coverage.
