MOUNTING THE CLIP-ON

Follow the steps below to correctly mount your TICO 6 Thermal imaging clip-on using the supplied Spacer mount (for US Market), additionally the device can be mounted using a QD (Quick-Detach) clamp*. The Spacer mount is mounted to the clip-on with two bolts with locks and is secured to the rifle rail with a quick-release lever guaranteeing quick, repeatable installation and removal. The QD clamp secures to the scope already mounted on your rifle with a QD clamp with quick-release lever for fast, repeatable installation and removal.

*QD Clamp sold separately.

Picatinny rail mounting procedure:

1. Prepare the Spacer mount
   • Check the provided mount for mechanical damage.
   • Use the two screws provided with the mount to attach the TICO 6 to the mount.
   • Make sure the conic heads of the screws are lying in their beds in the mount properly and tighten the two screws.
   • Open the QD lever so the mount can be placed on the Picatinny rail of the weapon platform.
   • Ensure the two mounting bolts with the quick-release levers are loosely installed so that the mount can sit fully on the upper surface of the teeth of the Picatinny rail of the weapon platform.
   • Mount the rubber adapter on the back of the TICO 6 to reduce light pollution.
2. Attach assembly to the Picatinny rail
   • Place the mount assembly onto the rifle rail at the chosen position.
   • Close the QD quick-release lever to lock the mount onto the rail.
   • Check if the lever tension needs adjustment. It should be moving freely about 60% of the travel from open to closed position. The tension needs to increase in the last 30-40% of movement to the fully closed position.
   • If it is too loose or too tight - open the lever and push it in, so that its threaded nut pops out from the opposite side of the QD mount.
   • With the nut popped out - rotate it CW or CCW to tighten or loosen it. Then release the pressure from the lever side so it can sink back into its nest.
3. Final alignment and tightening
   • With the lever closed and the QD mount tightened to the rail of the weapon platform, ensure the clip-on is level.
   • Confirm the QD lever is firmly closed, locked and the mount is securely fixed.

QD clamp mount mounting procedure

1. Prepare the QD Clamp
   • Check the mount for mechanical damage.
   • Mount the proper size clamp adapter for the scope you are using to the scope and make sure the clamp is seated fully on the scope.
   • Close the locking lever, make sure the most pressure is used at the very beginning of the lock mechanism, after that the latch should move easier.
2. Attach assembly to the clamp
   • Align the slots and place the twist mount assembly onto the rifle scope clamp.
   • Close the QD twist lever to lock the mount onto the scope.
3. Final alignment and tightening
   • With the lever closed and the QD clamp tightened to the scope of the weapon platform, ensure the clip-on is level.
   • Confirm the QD twist lever is firmly closed, locked and the mount is securely fixed.
   • Align the rotation of the clip-on so it stays horizontal with the scope you are using.
   • Tighten the lock screws that lock in the rotation of the clip-on twist lock.

MOUNTING THE EYEPIECE

1. Prepare the Eyepiece (NOT INCLUDED IN BOX)
   • Check the Eyepiece for mechanical damage.
2. Attach the Eyepiece to the clip-on
   • Align the slots and place the twist mount assembly onto the internal side of the mounting thread.
   • Close the QD twist lever to lock the mount onto the scope.
3. Final alignment and tightening
   • Confirm the QD twist lever is firmly closed and locked.

DEVICE OPERATION

POWER SUPPLY

The TICO 6 Thermal imaging clip-on system is powered by a single removable 18650 rechargeable battery (included in the package). The device can also be powered or charged directly through the USB Type-C port.

NOTES:

• Use only high-quality, button-top 18650 batteries to ensure proper contact and reliable performance.
• When connecting external power via Type-C, the device can operate and charge simultaneously.
• Always ensure the battery is fully charged before extended use in the field.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

1. Open the cover of the battery compartment located on the right side of the clip-on.
2. Insert the provided 18650 rechargeable battery, ensuring it is installed according to the polarity markings on the device housing.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

The 18650 Li-ion batteries supplied with the device must be charged using the battery charger included in the set.

The charger is powered via a USB-C input using the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable (there is one included in the device set) and a AC-to-5 V DC power adapter (not included in the device set).

The charger has a display that provides the following information for each battery slot, individually:

• Battery charge level
• Battery voltage
• Charging current

Recharge batteries promptly when the charge level is low to ensure proper operation and long-term battery health.

Charging Guidelines:

• Charge batteries only within a temperature range of 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C).
• Use only the charger provided with the device set.
• Use a stable 5 V DC USB power adapter that meets the charger’s input requirements.
• Do not charge batteries that are damaged, swollen, or leaking.
• Insert batteries observing the correct polarity markings in the charger slots.

Charging Steps:

1. Remove the 18650 battery from the device.
2. Insert the battery into the charger, observing the polarity markings.
3. Connect the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable to the charger’s USB-C connector.
4. Connect the USB-A end of the cable to a user-supplied 5 V DC power adapter, then plug it into an AC outlet.
5. Monitor the charging progress on the charger display until charging is complete.

RECOMMENDATION
For long-term storage, store the 18650 Li-ion battery outside of the device, in order to avoid heat-accelerated aging, gas-induced mechanical stress, and potential electrolyte venting that could damage internal components.

POWER ON / OFF

SETTING NUC (NON-UNIFORMITY CORRECTION)

NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) is used to optimize the thermal image by compensating for small temperature variations across the sensor. This process ensures uniformity and helps detect even subtle temperature changes more accurately.

Procedure:

1. Press and hold the Control Wheel to open the Main Menu.
2. Rotate the Control Wheel to select Settings → NUC.
3. Press the Control Wheel to access the NUC configuration screen.

Modes:

• Auto: The clip-on performs automatic flat-field calibration at regular intervals. This helps maintain consistent image quality during long observation periods.
• Semi-Auto: Press the Power button on the Home screen to manually trigger calibration at any time. Recommended when the image appears slightly uneven or blurry.
• Manual: Close the lens cap, then press the Power button to manually perform calibration. This is useful for precise control or when environmental conditions (e.g., rapid temperature changes) affect image stability.

TIP
Regularly performing NUC ensures the best image uniformity and helps eliminate fixed-pattern noise, especially after large temperature fluctuations.

SETTING PIXEL CORRECTION

The Pixel Correction function allows you to fix defective (hot, dead, or stuck) pixels on the thermal sensor to maintain a clean, high-quality image.

Procedure:

1. Press and hold the Control Wheel to open the Main Menu.
2. Rotate the Control Wheel to select Settings → Pixel Correction.
3. Press the Control Wheel to open the Pixel Correction configuration screen.

Modes:

• Auto: The clip-on automatically detects and corrects defective pixels.
  1. Select Auto.
  2. Follow on-screen instructions to close the lens cap.
  3. Rotate the Control Wheel to select Confirm, then press the Control Wheel to begin correction.
• Restore: Restores the pixel correction map to its factory default state. A confirmation message appears once the reset is complete.

TIP
Run Pixel Correction if you notice fixed bright or dark points that do not move with the image — this will recalibrate your thermal sensor for optimal image quality.

WI-FI CONNECTION SETUP
