March 2012Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Comtest Distribution has introduced the Fluke P3 Series thermal imagers that deliver practical performance for a wide range of diagnostic applications. Based on the award-winning Ti32, the P3 Series adds four additional products providing high-performance imagers for any budget.
The P3 Series includes the Ti32 and TiR32, plus the new Ti27 and Ti29 models for industrial, electrical, mechanical, and process applications; and TiR27 and TiR29 models for building inspection, energy audit and building maintenance applications. All models are specifically designed to work in even the harshest environments, providing superior image quality.
The new family of imagers feature industry-leading thermal sensitivity, large total pixel image count and superior spatial resolution that, combined with the full VGA-colour LCD displays, provides sharp, clear images to make it easy to spot even the slightest temperature difference. They measure temperature from -20 to
600°C on Ti models (-20 to 150°C on TiR models) and feature a high temperature colour alarm on the industrial models and low temperature or dew-point colour alarm on the building models. They all allow voice annotation.
Fluke SmartView professional IR analysis and reporting software is included with each thermal imager with unlimited licences and free lifetime upgrades. The modular suite of tools for viewing, annotating, editing and analysing infrared images enables users to edit images in five viewing modes and generate customised professional reports in a few steps using its report wizard. The software fully supports Fluke IR-Fusion technology and features Fluke 3D-IR
three-dimensional viewing that makes hot or cold spots pop out of the background for easy viewing and analysis.
The P3 series are supplied complete with a 2GB memory card, two rechargeable batteries that provide more than 4 hours operating time each, AC charger/power supply, adjustable hand strap and Fluke signature hard and soft transport cases.
