Infrared camera series
VarioCAM ^® hr inspect 500

Highest geometrical resolution of (768 x 576) pixels for avoiding measurement errors

Infrared detector technologies still suffer from much lower pixel number compared with digital cameras in the visual range. This means like in the old days of digital camera that every pixel counts. The infrared camera VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 series does not only provide state of the art (640 x 480) infrared pixels but even (768 x 576) pixels. This is achieved by the unique Microscanning Technology that is based on a highly precise opto-mechanical interface which easily guarantees a quadruplication of pixel numbers. Even though this process is more than simple interpolation. It really provides customers with more measurement data and thereby securing higher measurement precision. Therewith, the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 series guarantees to avoid measuring mistakes resulting from average values of low pixel numbers.

Smart display design for focusing on the essentials

The display stands of the infrared camera and therefore needs special protection which the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 series offers with a stable light-metal housing and an extremely stable joint. All status and measurement information are ergonomically placed on the screen not deviating the operator from the main task – his measurement. The flip mirror function will never display the image upside down. The need for long operation hours and ecological aspects are taken care of by the design of the automatic switch off of the display when not being used.

Excellent thermal resolution of 30 mK for detecting smallest faults

The thermal resolution of the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 series indicating the smallest temperature differences being resolvable will go down to even only 0.03 K (0.030 °C) at some 30 °C. Smallest temperature spans will still show details in great sharpness. Customers will be able to detect faults where other thermographic camera systems will not measure anything and faults can already be seen at an earlier stage.

Off-the-shelf Li-Ion batteries for independence

Up to five hours uninterrupted operation time are provided by the Li-Ion batteries included in the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 series. Included in the package also is a car charger to further enhance the mobility of users. Using off-the-shelf batteries makes users independent from any special camera provider – new batteries in any size can easily be bought around the corner. 

Configurations for working in a team

Teams using the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 benefit from the configuration setting. Up to five different configurations of the infrared camera settings can be stored and measurements can start rapidly with the configuration the respective operator is used to.

Light metal housing for little impact of electro-magnetic radiation

Plastic can be painted to appear metal – not so the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 infrared camera systems. It comes in a full light metal housing that offers excellent protection from environmental influences. Due to additional protective measures of the housing an uninhibited working even under strong electro-magnetic radiation is possible, e. g. for measurements like substations of power distribution.

Range of automatic functions for concentrating on the main work - measuring

The temperature scale can be set automatically between the highest and lowest temperatures being indicated as colours to most appropriately reflect the thermal scenery. This will make work faster as does the autofocus function. But also repetitive work can be delegated to be done by the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 – an autosaving function can be programmed to save thermal images onto a SD card or into an internal real-time memory with frequencies up to 60 Hz image frame rate.

Protection grade of IP 54 for secure operations in rough environments

As the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 comes with a protection grade of IP 54 against dust and splash it can be used in rough industrial environments without any problems. Operators will be flexible in their inspections routes. As high value LEMO plug solutions are used even connected to power the camera will remain of IP 54 protected.

Quality view finder for working in brightest sun light

Even the most light intensive displays can have problems providing a high contrast thermal image in bright sunlight. Professional infrared camera systems like VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 therefore come with a view finder to make outdoor and bright light operations work as convenient as indoor measurements.

Visible and acoustic alarms for easing up inspections

Temperature thresholds can be set at which the VarioCAM ^® high resolution inspect 500 infrared camera series will perform visual or acoustic alarms. When reaching maximum or minimum values an automatic image storage can be activated, too.
