Fluke TiS55+ Thermal Imaging Camera
The Fluke TiS55+ Thermal Imaging Camera is a handheld infrared imager with a 256px x 192px IR resolution, 40mk thermal sensitivity, and -20°C to +550°C temperature range. It is designed for proactive maintenance applications. It features a field-of-view of 28° x 20°, a minimum focus distance of 0.5m, and offers manual and fixed focus.
This water- and dust-resistant (IP54), rugged thermal camera has been drop tested from 2m and is equipped with an easy-to-operate 3.5” VGA touchscreen LCD. The Fluke TiS55+ can be used to capture thermal images and temperature data in a variety of challenging environments. It has an accuracy of ±2°C/ 2% and includes six colour palettes, colour alarms, measurement tools, and a Picture-in-Picture mode.
In addition to this, it supports voice annotation, allowing users to record voice notes of up to 60s with each thermal image. This means users can identify and record faults in real-time. Similarly, IR-PhotoNotes allows users to take photos of asset numbers and/or other identifiers making it easier to identify photos on a computer at a later date.
Furthermore, it is Fluke Connect-enabled and supports asset tagging. Once an asset’s QR code has been scanned, the camera will automatically save images to the asset’s folder, eliminating the need to sort files.
The Fluke TiS55+ Thermal Imaging Camera is a durable, dependable, and time-saving infrared imager that allows users to capture thermal images with all the necessary information embedded in the picture.
