Cost-effective radiometric thermal imager
The IRI 1002 is a highly cost-effective online imager for fixed mounting and continuous operation with a price tag of just GBP 3000.
Thermal imaging breaks budget barrier
The IRI 1011 is a novel handheld unit claimed to represent a world first in ultra-low-cost thermal imaging technology.
Irisys has made this possible by incorporating into the IRI 4010 a state of the art 3.5in colour LCD with LED backlight.
Up to 1000 high quality images may be stored (and retrieved at full digital resolution) on the supplied SD card.
Two measurement cursors highlight temperature and temperature differences while a Class II laser focuses on the central measurement area for ease of identification of specific hot spots.
The imager, with its 20 x 15-degree field of view lens, has a minimum focus of 300mm, and is fitted with manual and automatic functions for image adjustment.
The Towcester-based Irisys design team has paid particular attention to the ergonomics of the IRI 4010, keeping its evenly balanced weight down to 750g (including the 4h-capacity field-replaceable battery).
Irisys Director of Thermal Imaging Systems Steve Hollock says: "We have worldwide users of the Irisys IRI 1011 which has been on the market for three years".
"A significant percentage of those customers, and many other potential users, have asked for an imager that gives them more".
"We have responded with the launch of a quality, flexible product that gives high resolution images at a price that is within the most minimal of budgets".
"Furthermore, the financial contributions made by the detection and alleviation of potential temperature-related problems in plant and machinery is almost incalculable".
"This is truly 21st century technology that offers great value for money yet involves no compromise on quality and performance".
Dr Hollock added that, having established a market reputation for low cost but highly effective imagers in a very short space of time, Irisys had decided to "take on" the market leaders with a high resolution, state-of-the-art product that remains the most competitive in the industry.
The IRI 4010 opens up new market segments for Irisys such as HVAC, power utilities, buildings, marine and security.
