With a sharply focused image, there is a distinct contrast between areas of varying thermal energy on the surface being inspected. This allows the individual detector elements (also known as pixels) to clearly report the intensity of the energy being focused on them. When the focus is poor, the incoming energy isn't as concentrated on individual detectors, and their response is skewed. This can lead to temperature measurements that are significantly off, resulting in expensive downtime and possible safety hazards. Thermal imagers are made with 100% diamond-turned germanium lenses covered with a specialty coating, providing premium quality images. LaserSharp Auto Focus allows you to select and focus on a specific target Easily choose and focus on your target LaserSharp™ Auto Focus uses a built-in laser distance meter that provides both speed and precision. The laser-driven target detection pinpoints the target while the camera focuses to capture a precise, high-quality image. With LaserSharp Auto Focus, you can: Easily capture high-quality, focused images of your desired target with the push of a button Take infrared images through common obstacles like chain link fences Avoid skewed temperature measurements by precisely choosing your target Perform the same inspections multiple times as a part of your preventive maintenance program - the built-in laser distance meter calculates and displays how far you are from your target, making repeatability much easier Choose multiple targets at different distances MultiSharp™ Focus takes multiple images from different focal distances and combines them into one clear image. With a simple point and shoot, you can go from being completely out of focus, to complete focus, throughout the field of view. With MultiSharp: Reduce the need to take individual images of targets that are in the camera's field of view - focus on one target, and all objects that are in the camera's field of view will be in focus Cut downtime spent taking multiple images to increase productivity Capture quality, in-focus images, even under direct sunlight 1.Middleground in focus 2.Foreground in focus 3.Background in focus Shoot from a distance Infrared inspections can take you into multiple types of environments with many types of equipment. Interchangeable lenses that require no calibration give you the versatility and the image quality needed to conduct inspections in almost any environment. Reduce the need to enter the danger zone with a 2x telephoto lens Identify potential issues as small and distant as a failed splice on a high electrical line from the ground with a 4x telephoto lens Save time with roofing and industrial building inspections by viewing a large area at one time with a wide-angle lens High voltage power pole, captured with a TiX560 camera and standard lens The same power pole captured from the same distance, but with a 2x telephoto lens The same power pole captured from the same distance, but with a 4x telephoto lens Easily manage and analyze your data Whether you are troubleshooting or conducting maintenance inspections, having easy access to more information faster is always a big benefit. Document information on the equipment you're inspecting With IR PhotoNotes™, voice or text annotation, you can easily document critical information about each piece of equipment and its location. Each "note" attaches to the image, so you never have to search or match up notes to images. Document critical information with your infrared image Capture surrounding details like wind conditions and time of day Identify asset location Image Info IR Sensor Size 320 x 240 Distance to Target 0.69 m Main Image Markers Name Temperature Centerpoint 29.1°C Capture digital and infrared images at once IR Fusion™ technology combines visible light and an infrared image into one, giving you better clarity. Get exact location details in picture-in-picture mode, which provides the center part of the display in IR and the remainder of the image in visible light See more details when you adjust the level of infrared and visible light blending in AutoBlend™ mode Isolate problem areas with user-defined temperature ranges with IR color alarms IR Fusion picture-in-picture mode: Ironbow palette IR Fusion picture-in-picture mode: AutoBlend IR Fusion color alarm ROI and thermal imaging Seven benefits of on-site infrared inspections Reduce downtime Inspections can be done while equipment is running - no lost production time. Protect lives while doing more The non-contact nature of infrared inspections allows technicians to scan large areas quickly, from a safer distance away. That means technicians can inspect more equipment faster. Improve production efficiency Subtle problems are found and addressed before they have a major impact on production. Document before and after Validate post-maintenance work and capture the results for future review. Reduce capital expenses Finding and repairing problems at an early stage can improve the life expectancy of equipment, as a result extending replacement intervals. Increase productivity Quickly scan a large area to find air leaks, insulation gaps, moisture and overheated electrical components to complete more work in less time. Identify work in easy-to-understand terms See exactly what the problem is on the camera, eliminating guesswork and making it easier for everyone to see what repairs needs to be done. Review thermal images side by side, making it easy to compare today's reading with the baseline or other historical images. Solving Electrical Problems with Fluke Thermal Imaging Today’s thermal imagers have become a realistic solution for everyday electrical maintenance as they are rugged, easy to use, and much more affordable than even just a few years ago. It's a straight-forward process, where a qualified technician or electrician points the thermal imager at the equipment in question and scans the immediate area, looking for unexpected hot spots. The imager produces a live image of the heat emitted from the equipment and with the quick squeeze of the trigger, a thermal image is captured. When the inspection is complete, the image is uploaded to a computer, Apple®, iPhone® or iPad® for closer analysis, reporting, and future trending. There are a few basic how-tos to consider... electrical load, safety, and emissivity. In this application note, we walk you through these, as well as the Top 5 Checklist, and much more.
