− | The '''I/R Scanner''' is a piece of personal equipment used to detect and identify the approximate infrared radiation output of objects at ranges of up to 5 kilometers<ref>''MechWarrior'', p. 54</ref> The scanner can be mounted on [[Rangefinder Binoculars]] and is adjustable to detecting heat from various sources, although its ability to discern objects also depends on the distances involved.

− | At ranges of two kilometers or further, the scanner is only sufficient to pick up the heat output of [[BattleMechs]] or other similar-sized objects. Man-sized objects can be discerned at distances of several hundred meters, while something as small as a rodent can be detected at ten to twenty meters.
