FLUKE TiR SERIES FLEXCAM™ THERMAL IMAGERS
DELIVER EXPERT FEATURES FOR BUILDING DIAGNOSTIC APPLICATIONS
Fluke Electronics Canada, an industry
innovator in compact, professional electronic test tools, has announced the
Fluke TiR Series IR Flexcam™ Thermal Imagers, designed specifically for
building diagnostics applications. Fluke TiR Series images feature IR Fusion™
technology, which helps expert users accurately pinpoint building problems by
combining both visible light and thermal images for better identification,
analysis and image management.
Part of a growing line of Fluke test tools
designed specifically for Building Science, HVAC and indoor air quality (IAQ)
professionals, the Fluke TiR Series includes six models: the TiR2 and TiR2-FT,
the TiR3 and TiR3-FT, and the TiR4 and TiR4-FT. TiR Series models provide a
large, five-inch colour liquid crystal display (LCD) to view on-camera images,
high resolution, low noise Vanadium Oxide (Vox) detector (320 x 240 on select
models) for high-quality images, and thermal sensitivity of 0.05 degrees
Celsius NETD on select models for viewing even the smallest temperature
differences.
Designed for ease of operation in a wide
range of building diagnostics environments, the Fluke TiR Series Thermal
Imagers feature a 20 mm germanium lens on a 180 degree articulating mount to
view images, even in situations where access is limited. The TiR Series
features one-finger SmartFocus operation, which enables users to quickly
capture high-quality images and accurate temperature measurements.
Fluke SmartView™ software is included with
each Fluke TiR Series Thermal Imager. SmartView software is a modular suite of
tools that allows user to annotate, view, edit and analyse IR images, as well
as generate fully=customized, professional-looking reports in a few steps. The
TiR2 and TiR4 models include built-in auto-capture, alarm and analysis
functions for diagnosing intermittent problems.
The Fluke TiR Series Thermal Imagers can be
used in building diagnostic applications including:
- Roof Surveys: Detect wet areas in roofing systems quickly and
efficiently. Find wet portions of the roofing structure, and repair or
replace before the entire roof is damaged.
- Energy Audits: Perform infrared energy audits for residential
and commercial applications. Increase the thermal efficiency of a home or
building by scanning for thermal heat loss, air infiltration or
exfiltration, or air delivery problems.
- Moisture/Restoration: Accurately detect moisture issues located
behind exterior and interior walls, in ceilings or under carpet-covered
floors.
- Mould Remediation: Control mould by finding unknown sources of
moisture that would otherwise go undetected.
IR-Fusion technology facilitates real-time
pixel-for-pixel merging of infrared and visible light images together on a
single display. Providing five viewing modes – each designed to add greater
clarity, accuracy and a valuable frame of reference to infrared images –
IR-Fusion is the only technology to allow users to manipulate images right on
the camera’s display and is designed specifically to allow users to find
problems not commonly detected with similar infrared imaging cameras.
IR-Fusion makes it easier to identify
details and potential problems by managing and analysing images with complete
control over both the infrared and visible light spectrums. The ability to fuse
images on-camera and optimise images in real-time, combined with an exclusive
on-screen, laser pointing indicator, improves primary target identification,
enhances issue locating efficiency and offers an advantage in reporting
clarity.
