Entry-level imaging
Fluke, the global leader in handheld electronic test and measurement equipment, has introduced a new entry-level thermal imager aimed at
facility managers, building inspectors, energy assessors and plumbers to detect energy loss and damage in residential or commercial buildings.
Faults in buildings show up in unrivalled detail: resolution is 160 x 120 pixels (triple the figure of other entry-level imagers), and thermal sensitivity is an excellent 0.1°C (NETD) at 30°C.
The rugged, point-and-shoot Fluke TiRx Inspector has a widescreen format colour LCD display to show every detail. The imager helps perform rapid building envelope and roofing inspections for restoration and repair. It instantly shows problems like heat loss from HVAC systems, water leakage from pipes and radiators, air leakage from windows, moisture intrusion in insulation and location of underfloor heating.
The Fluke TiRx Inspector has a -20˚C to +100˚C temperature range, optimised for building diagnostics. The viewing angle is a wide 23º x 17º, and the thermal imager lens has adjustable focus with a minimum focus distance of 15cm.
Users just point the imager and pull the trigger to capture the full picture, showing even small temperature differences. Fluke’s SmartView® software, featuring the first 3D imaging capability in the industry and options for optimising and organising thermal images and creating professional reports, is included with the product as well as a 2GB SD memory card. The IP54-rated instrument resists dust and water, and withstands a drop test of 2 metres.
The Fluke TiRx Inspector can be purchased from Fluke authorised distributors. The imager comes complete with a rugged hard carry case, soft transport bag, adjustable hand strap, rechargeable internal battery, and AC power supply/battery charger with mains adapters. Fluke also supplies a training DVD, and there is a virtual demo of the instrument at www.fluke.co.uk/tir
