Testboy TV500 FireChief |Infrared Thermal Imaging Fire Fighter Camera
The Testboy TV500 FireChief has been specially designed for rough fire fighting tasks. It is ready for operation in less than 20 seconds and can run continually for two hours on each rechargeable battery. The high-resolution, uncooled FPA detector is an outstanding choice with a very high 50-Hz data capture frequency and a dynamic, wide measurement range.
Whether operating in thick smoke or total darkness, this fully-radiometric camera guarantees the fireman a commanding perspective in all surroundings. It provides reliable assistance when searching for missing persons or other heat sources. The TV500 is waterproof and dustproof. Its 3.5-inch TFT LCD screen allows you to quickly select from a wide color palette based on your application needs. Controls are clearly arranged and this enables the camera to be operated without problems - even when wearing thick gloves.
Whether in a crawl space, overhead, or on a ladder - the1300-gram lightweight and compact camera can be comfortably operated with just one hand over long periods of time. Because of its special symmetrical construction and balanced distribution of weight, the TV500 FireChief can be used equally well in either hand. This gives the user the maximum in maneuvering fl exibility. High-impact resistant rubber cushions protect the camera - even after a drop from a height of 1.8 meters.
The camera is securely enclosed in a protective housing which features IP67-rated protection and flammability protection in compliance with UL94-V0. That guarantees the camera's advanced electronic components will continue to deliver remarkable images when operating in the harshest of environments or after being submerged in water to a depth of up to one meter.
