This guide will take you through a step-by-step process of how to install and configure your Athena system. Before getting started, you’ll need:
- A designated spot for your camera, HSRP, and iPad Pro.
- A power outlet near each of those spots, or extension cables.

Overview
Infrared Camera
Heat Source Reference Point (HSRP Blackbody)
iPad Pro
Two Tripods (or wall mounts)
iPad/Camera holder
Infrared A/C Adapter and Power Cord
Heat Source Reference Point Power Cord
2ft Ethernet CAT5 for iPad Pro
20ft Ethernet CAT5 for iPad (optional)
USBC-ethernet adapter, crossover adapter, and
L-connector
Step 1: iPad Pro
Unbox one tripod*, the iPad Pro and iPad holder
Remove the plastic cap from the top of the tripod
Mount the iPad holder onto the tripod, and insert the iPad into the holder.
Connect the black L-connector to USB-C port on the bottom of the iPad
Connect the USB-C ethernet adapter to the L-Connector
Turn the iPad on
*if using wall mounts, follow the same instructions throughout, replacing “tripod” with “wall mount”
Step 2: Infrared (IR) Camera
Remove the lens cover from the IR camera
Connect the IR camera to the tripod using the screw and holder provided (Note, the easiest way to do this is to remove the silver piece from the top of the tripod, screw it into the iPad bracket, then return it to the tripod)
Plug power cable included into the back of IR camera, and connect to the power
Connect the red ethernet crossover adapter to back of thermal camera
Connect one end of an ethernet cable to the red crossover adapter, and connect the other piece to the USBC-ethernet adapter (connected to the iPad from step 1)
Adjust the tripod so the infrared camera is at eye-level
Step 3: HSRP (Heat Source Reference Point)
Screw the HSRP Blackbody onto the remaining tripod
Connect the HSRP to power, and turn on (use a long enough extension cord that you’ll be able to raise the HSRP to a height of 7 feet after powering on)
Adjust the tripod height to be at least 7 feet tall
Position the HSRP 4-12 feet from the camera, facing the camera lens
Step 4: Calibration
Open Temperature Detection App from iPad Pro, and step out of view of the camera
You will hear a message, “standby for HSRP Configuration”. The system will find the HSRP on the screen, and identify it with a black box
You will then hear “HSRP found, now scanning for human temperatures”, step into the field of view at this point and you should see a temperature reading.
Call Athena to confirm your system is fully configured: 833-928-4362 x 2 (Monday-Friday; 8am - 6pm PT)
NOTE: If the image is unclear, spin the lens of the camera to adjust the focus.
