TOP IRISH TEST INSTRUMENT SUPPLIER, CUTHBERTSON LAIRD GROUP, BECOMES DISTRIBUTOR FOR HIKMICRO THERMAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT…. Thermal cameras give earlywarning to electrical hazards
H IKMICRO, a leading provider of thermal imaging equipment and solutions, has chosen Cuthbertson Laird as its newest distributor in Ireland. Models available from Cuthbertson Laird include the entry level E1L, the higher resolution M30 for and at the top end, the G60. Thermal imaging cameras provide an early detection device to spot ‘invisible’ electrical problems before they become a more serious electrical hazard. While some equipment problems can be spotted through unusual vibration or sounds, others do not present such obvious symptoms. Many however can be detected by their thermal patterns, which is where the HIKMICRO range of thermal imaging equipment comes in, detecting subtle problems before they result in failures. With increased safety levels, inspection can be carried out without directly contacting equipment or interrupting its operation. Whether installing a new motor-control centre or electrical service, infrared thermography can be used to document the condition at the time of acceptance. By using the camera for
preventive or predictive maintenance it can help minimise equipment malfunctions and failures. Product details The E1L model is a low cost unit. Lightweight, durable and easy to use, it’s a must have for your toolbox. With exceptional image quality at a frame rate of 25Hz and a resolution of 160 x 120 IR Detectors, the E1L model also has a laser pointer which helps show the position of the temperature measurement point on an actual object. Each unit comes with a HIKMICRO 3-year warranty on the complete unit, plus a 10-year warranty on the detector. The M30 model offers you even better IR Resolution at 384 x 288 with the option of manual focus. This makes it more suitable to image smaller targets at longer distances. Combined with the NETD of less than 35mK at 25Hz frame rate, accuracy on a thermal camera has never been better nor more affordable. The G60 offers the more professional thermographer an IR Detector resolution of 640 x 512 on a 4.3-inch LCD Touch Screen. It uses Wi-Fi Hot
Spot to connect to the free-to-download HIKMICRO Viewer App on your smart phone for live image view and full control of the Thermal Camera. Additional lenses offer the thermographer more accuracy and better image quality over longer distances. In addition to the free HIKMICRO Viewer App, the HIKMICRO Analyzer software is also available at no cost and can be downloaded for your desktop PC at: https://www.hikmicrotech.com/en/ download/5. This software allows you to import radiometric jpeg images from the HIKMICRO Thermal Camera and include image management, thermal data analysis and report generation. It is an easy to learn platform with valuable measurement and tagging tools available for a professional analysis.
