A hand-held thermal imager from Agilent Technologies provides clear and sharp thermal images with its unique Fine Resolution capability. With the shift toward predictive maintenance, the thermal imager allows engineers to safely and efficiently identify potential faults without shutting down the systems or disrupting the productivity of an industrial plant.

The imager comes with Fine Resolution capability, which enhances the quality of thermal images by reconstructing the image based on multiple continuously captured infrared frames.

This allows the instrument to achieve an effective image resolution of 320 x 240 pixels from a 160 x 120 pixel detector. With this feature, it provides four times more resolution than typical 160 x 120 thermal imagers.

Together with a 4x digital zoom, the imager reveals finer details, especially when inspecting small cracks on industrial pipelines even from a distance away.

It’s light, ergonomic design allows engineers to comfortably use the thermal imager for longer periods of time, and operate it single-handedly in tight locations.

Users can also easily change settings or access frequently used functions such as torch light and laser pointer, auto scaling or trigger with quick access buttons. In-camera monitoring and analysis capabilities save time by eliminating the need to connect to a PC.

The U1450A/60A Series are 1 kV insulation resistance testers that measure leakage current and insulation resistance for preventive maintenance applications, such as checking the integrity of windings or cables in motors, transformers and electrical installations.

The testers come with report-generation software that engineers can use to produce error-free automated test reports in table and graph forms. All five models are certified to IP 67 and are compatible with the Agilent remote link solution, enabling wireless remote insulation testing.

For applications that require unique test voltages, the U1450A/60A Series offers two models with adjustable test voltage ranges from 10 V to 1.1 kV, with 1 V step increments. A two-in-one insulation tester model with a 4.5 digit full-featured digital multimeter is also available.
