Rapid detection
January 1st 2008 Fluke's new Ti25 and Ti10 thermal imagers offer
affordable and rapid problem detection. The rugged,
thermal imagers feature IR Fusion technology which
integrates IR and visible light images
Fluke has introduced the Fluke Ti25
and Fluke Ti10 thermal imagers,
designed to make thermal imaging
affordable and effective for day-to-day
troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
Both models incorporate IR Fusion, a
patent-pending technology that integrates
infrared and visual (visible light) images in
full screen or picture-in-picture views for
enhanced problem detection and analysis.
Built to withstand harsh work
environments, the Fluke Ti25 and Ti10 are
designed as a complete, effective and
easy-to-use thermal imaging solution for
everyday troubleshooting and
maintenance of electrical installations,
electro-mechanical and process
equipment, HVAC/R units and other
industrial and electrical equipment.
The Ti25 and Ti10 feature a three-button
menu designed for operation and
navigation with the push of a thumb, the
ability to record and save voice comments
with every image taken (Ti25 only), and
on-screen emissivity correction (Ti25 only).
With a widescreen full colour LCD display,
optimised thermal sensitivity, and a
temperature measurement range of -20°C
to +350°C for the Ti25 and -20°C to
+250°C for the Ti10, the thermal imagers
are suitable for most industrial, electrical
and commercial applications, allowing
users to operate from a safe distance and
still see small temperature differences.
They are tested to withstand a drop of 2
metres and are therefore ideal to survive
field operation in a harsh industrial
environment. The new units have an IP54
rating to withstand water and dust.
Fluke SmartView software (with free
software upgrades for the life of the
product) is included with each thermal
imager. A modular suite of tools for
viewing, annotating, editing and analysing
infrared images, SmartView software fully
supports Fluke IR-Fusion technology,
enabling users to edit images in five
viewing modes and generate customised,
professional-looking reports in a few steps.
IR-Fusion uses an image correction
method to exactly overlay the visual and
thermal image on top of each other,
independent of the measurement distance.
This makes it easier to identify details and
potential problems by managing and
analysing images with complete control
over both the infrared and visual (visible
light) spectrums. The ability to fuse
images on-camera and optimise images in
real-time improves primary target
identification, enhances issue locating
efficiency and offers a tremendous
advantage in reporting clarity.
Both the Ti10 and Ti25 Thermal Imagers
include a 2GB SD memory card that will
store at least 3000 basic infrared images
(.bmp file format) or 1200 fully radiometric
(.is2 IR Fusion file format) infrared and
linked visual images each with 60s of
voice annotation (Ti25 only), as well as an
SD card reader (USB) for downloading
images into a computer. A durable lens
cover protects the unit when not in use
and is firmly stored during operation to
avoid interference while images are taken.
They come with a rugged hard carry case
and a soft transport bag, an adjustable
hand strap for right- or left-handed use, a
rechargeable internal battery and AC
power supply/battery charger (including
mains adapters). They are available from
Fluke authorised distributors. More articles from Fluke UK Ltd: |
