Multi-tasking

A Testo 875 thermal imaging camera is helping Wycombe District Council identify and prevent any serious problems or anomalies before they can cause damage.

The robust, hand-held camera is light and easy to use and has 160 x 120 pixel detection, a wide field of view 32° lens with an integrated digital camera, 2GB storage and 4h lithium battery operating life - all of which comes in a strong carrying case including mains charger, SD card, IR software, USB cable and tripod mount if needed.

There are three core areas where the Council has found the camera especially effective: the Facilities Team use it to check electrical distributor board overloads, motors and pumps in the plant rooms; the Environmental Health Team uses it to locate damp and condensation in council properties; and the Projects Department can test the insulation and cavity walls in private housing.
