Infrared thermography is used extensively to identify overheating on electrical infrastructures under load, for example, and take corrective action to avoid production stoppages and operating losses.
The new testo 883 thermal imaging camera combines quality and automatic image management, and has been specially designed to make it easier for maintenance technicians to inspect installations (electrical cabinets, etc.) on site. According to Testo, its innovative functions guarantee fast, reliable work.
The testo 883 thermal camera boasts infrared resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, expandable to 640 x 480 pixels thanks to integrated testo SuperResolution technology. What's more, manual focusing ensures total control and sharp thermal images.
Maintenance technicians all face the same difficulty when taking thermal images of a plant: many similar measuring objects give similar thermal images. Until now, they have had to invest time in creating lists or adding a voice comment to each individual thermal image, in order to be able to allocate images correctly after an inspection routine.
The testo SiteRecognition technology of the new testo 883 camera now takes care of identifying the measurement location, recording and managing thermal images fully automatically. This function saves the technician time, as manual image allocation is no longer necessary, avoiding confusion and evaluation errors.
In addition to managing measurement locations with testo SiteRecognition, the testo IRSoft software also enables detailed analysis, processing and documentation of thermal images. It can be downloaded free of charge from www.testo.com/irsoft.
Intuitive operation
The intelligent combination of touch screen and Testo's proven joystick makes work faster and more efficient.
Always connected while working, the testo Thermography app also offers many advantages to the technician, according to the company:
- perform rapid on-site analyses (add measurement points and/or comments, determine the temperature curve, etc.) or integrate measurement values from the testo 770-3 current clamp into the thermal image.
- using a smartphone or tablet as a second screen,
- remote control of the thermal camera,
- documentation: image selection, capture of relevant data, preview and e-mailing of report.
Interchangeable telephoto lens
For precise thermography of buildings or distant objects, the testo 883 thermal camera's standard 30° x 23° lens can be replaced by a 12° x 9° telephoto lens.
With "perfect" image quality, according to Testo, and automatic image management, the new testo 883 thermal imaging camera, available on its own or as a kit, is a truly effective aid for site maintenance technicians.
