Instantly diagnoses problems
June 1st 2008

Available from Testo is a handheld, infrared thermal imager that can instantly diagnose major problems in plant or machinery.

In an electrical installation, for example, the sophisticated, yet competitively-priced Testo 880 can pick up irregular overheating or 'hot spots' that could prompt a shutdown or wear and tear in mechanical components.

The thermal imager translates the heat given off by any object, known as infrared radiation, into high definition thermal images on its viewing screen.The 880-3 includes a digital camera that can show the thermal image alongside a digital image of the object, which can then be recorded and stored.

High quality optics and electronics mean even the smallest temperature differences can be detected.
