Overview

The IR Scanner is a small binocular-like device used to detect and identify the approximate infrared radiation output of objects at ranges of up to five kilometers.[1][2] It provides the same infrared detection capabilities of a Rangefinder Binocular though with none of the other features.[2] 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.[1] While it can detect the approximate heat output of a target the scanner cannot identify surface features.[2]
