Thermal imager approved for rail troubleshooters

Fluke (UK) product story

The Fluke Ti20 thermal imaging camera has now achieved full recognition for trackside work by gaining approval URLT/014146.
The fully radiometric Fluke Ti20 thermal imaging camera, costing less than GBP 4000, offers many opportunities for applications in trackside preventative maintenance.
Designed for easy handheld point-and-shoot operation, the Fluke Ti20 can always be used at a safe distance from electrical infrastructure.
It has now achieved full recognition for trackside work by gaining approval URLT/014146.
Using a regular inspection route, which can be preset on the Fluke Ti20, problems can be identified before circuits fail.
Examples of preventative maintenance uses include the detection of: overheating fuses in relay rooms; imbalanced traction returns; overheating busbars in track-side location cases; points heating elements about to fail; heaters which minimise moisture in location cases about to fail; and excessive temperatures in location cases in hot weather.
A majority of these events trigger changes in localised temperatures in advance, and the thermal imager can register these problems from a safe distance and before they cause major downtimes and hold-ups in the train network.
With its balanced design, the Fluke Ti20 fits comfortably in the hand for single-handed operation, and like all Fluke instruments, it is rugged and battery powered.
Up to 100 images can be stored internally for later analysis with the easy-to-use analysis and reporting software provided with the product.
