Fluke, the global leader in handheld electronic test and measurement equipment, has introduced a new entry-level thermal imager aimed at electrical contractors and electricians. The rugged Fluke Ti9 offers best in class image quality, instantly showing faults in electrical equipment.
The Fluke Ti9 Electrical/Thermal Imager brings accurate thermal imaging within the reach of many more users. With 160 x 120 pixel resolution, three times that of competing imagers, the Fluke Ti9 shows more essential details. It features a widescreen format colour LCD display to show every detail. Users just point the instrument and pull the trigger to capture the full image. That saves valuable time and greatly increases the speed of inspecting, repairing and verifying electrical and electromechanical equipment. The Ti9 is also designed for harsh industrial environments.
The Fluke Ti9 helps extend equipment lifetime, avoid electrical fires, and validate installation, repair and maintenance procedures. It can detect problems in a wide range of equipment including switchgear, motor control centres and lighting systems. Even small temperature differences are visible in components like transformers, panels, controls, fuses, receptacles and bus bars. A virtual demonstration of the instrument can be viewed at www.fluke.co.uk/ti
Hot spots regularly indicate an imminent problem or equipment failure in electrical equipment. Infrared thermometer measurements show only a single hot spot at a time, which is not enough for an accurate evaluation. Thermal imagers show the full picture instantly, with different colours representing different temperatures.
The Fluke Ti9 incorporates a thermal imager lens with adjustable focus and detects a wide -20˚C to +250˚C temperature range. There is a 23º x 17º viewing angle and a minimum focus distance of 15cm. Small details are visible in a perfectly focused image. The IP54-rated Fluke Ti9 resists dust and water, and withstands a drop test of 2 metres.
Fluke 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, a rugged hard carry case, a soft transport bag, an adjustable hand strap, rechargeable internal battery, AC power supply/battery charger (including mains adapters) and a training DVD.
The Fluke Ti9 can be purchased from Fluke authorised distributors. For more information about all Fluke products, visit www.fluke.co.uk
