ATTENTION
An infrared camera is a sensitive optical measuring device. Pay special attention to the following points:
Never aim the camera towards the sun or other source of intense thermal radiation (e.g. welding, cutting, and similar
operations).
If parts of the camera are damaged or present problems following failure to heed the warnings listed above, neither the
manufacturer nor the distributor shall be held liable, and all costs incurred shall be borne solely by the operator.
INTRODUCTION
Infrared thermography detection technology has been in existence for many years in industrialized countries, where it has become
an indispensable means ensuring safety in industrial production. It is used in sectors of industry as diverse as metallurgy and
steel-making, electric power, petroleum, automation, the exploitation of natural gas, and transportation, and in other committed
professions such as fire-fighting and border surveillance. In all of these activities, characterized by just-in-time operating
procedures, high-voltage production equipment, powerful electric currents, and/or high operating speeds, infrared thermal imaging
provides a real-time non-contact inspection method.
This detection method does not require you to cut off the power, shut down the machines or interrupt production. It can diagnose
latent malfunctions in advance, and so forestall their occurrence and prevent production incidents. Thermal imaging is an
innovative non-contact evaluation technique that is safe, reliable, and rapid.
Compared to the contact-based detection instruments still widely used, this new technology is revolutionary. Infrared thermal
imaging detection technology has major applications in the following fields:
surveillance of electrical equipment and high-voltage transformers
locating leaks from thermal equipment and heat exchangers; analysis of heat losses
identification of thermal failures in rail transport
in the micro-electronics industry, rationalization of circuits by detection of systematic hot spots
fire-fighting, locating latent fire sources
at a fire, aid to victims and tactical command
security professionals, night time surveillance
This is why infrared thermal imaging detection technology is currently regarded by all concerned as the cutting edge in industrial
surveillance.
