New entry-level thermal imager with best in class image quality

Fluke (Europe) is introducing a rugged entry-level Thermal Imager with best in class image quality. The 160 x 120 pixel resolution of Fluke’s Ti9 – three times that of competing imagers – shows more essential details.

The Fluke Ti9 brings accurate thermal imaging within the reach of many more electricians and technicians in industrial plants. The imager has a widescreen format color 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 (electro) mechanical equipment.   Hot spots regularly indicate an imminent problem or equipment failure in electrical equipment. Frontline electricians, usually under severe time pressure, must often rely on infrared thermometer measurements. However, these show only a single hot spot at a time, which is not enough for an accurate evaluation. Thermal imagers instead show the full picture instantly, with different colors representing different temperatures. Although there are low-cost thermal imagers on the market, the image quality is often too poor for a good understanding of the root cause of a problem. They also struggle in the harsh industrial environments the instruments must often endure.
