HotShot
LT establishes a new class of infrared
camera, the thermography data logger.
HotShot combines a pen-based Windows CE
computer with powerful software
functionality including our new route based
infrared survey feature to deliver a system
with unique capabilities and industry
leading ease of use. HotShot incorporates a
high performance uncooled micro-bolometer
infrared focal plane array that produces
sharp, highly sensitive thermal images and
accurate temperature measurement from ?0?to
350캜. In Camera analysis tools include 2
spot meters. HotShot LT features an
articulating thermal camera that makes
viewing objects from floor level to overhead
easier and more comfortable. A telephoto and
wide-angle lens are available for
application specific inspections such as
distribution line and switchgear panels. The
rugged camera body features rubber grip
areas, color-coded touch points, an IP-54
environmental rating and an integrated
battery compartment for its common camcorder
battery that powers the camera for up to 4
hours.
HotShot뭩 intuitive icon based user
interface, easy to use joystick control and
touch screen interface facilitates the easy
capture of inspection point locations,
incident information and observation details
that can later be automatically incorporated
into reports. HotShot뭩 Compact Flash
accessory port provides an industry standard
CF Card interface for a wide range of
existing and future accessory. The USB port
and Active Sync provides an easy method for
downloading data to a computer. Record full
12-bit images that enable you to perform
post analysis including span and level
changes and color palette changes. The USB
port and ActiveSync provides an easy method
for downloading data to a computer.
Electrical Apparatus Inspection Visually inspect
electrical systems for a wide range of
problems including loose connections,
corroded elements, load imbalance, short
circuits and other potentially dangerous
faults that typically create heat. Abnormal
heating associated with high resistance or
excessive current flow is a primary
indicator of many problems in electrical
systems. Thermal imaging enables you to see
the invisible thermal radiation that may
portend impending damage before their
condition becomes critical. When current
flows in an electrical circuit, part of the
electrical energy is converted into heat due
to the inherent resistance in all conductive
elements. The existence of abnormally high
resistance in the circuit or high current
flow will result in abnormally high levels
of heat to be generated that can be quickly
identified with a thermal imager avoiding
potential damage to equipment or danger.
Mechanical Inspection Survey a wide range
of mechanical systems such motors, pumps and
other type of rotating equipment for
lubrication, alignment and cooling problems.
Thermal imaging is ideal for low speed
rotating equipment inspection such as
conveyors and other material handling
systems that may not be an inspection point
for vibration and oil analysis inspection
programs. Other uses of thermal imaging
include identifying fluid levels in
containers, steam trap inspection and
insulation performance.
Refractory Condition Monitoring Many high-energy
processes such as petrochemical and chemical
processing, cement processing and
incineration utilize refractory insulation.
The condition of the refractory can have
both serious safety consequences as well as
an impact to product quality. Frequent
inspection with thermal imaging is critical
in order to reducing problems and
maintaining optimal system performance.
