April 24, 2008

Wahl Instruments Inc. announces the addition of a Hot Spot Finder to its line of Wahl Heat Spy Thermal Imaging Cameras. It is the ideal tool for all users wanting temperature measurement and display at an affordable price. The camera, encased in the same impact-resistant housing as the HSI3000 Series, provides the user with a real-time thermal image for quick fault detection combined with a center spot, non-contact temperature measurement function. A trigger-activated laser pointer insures pinpoint identification of hot spots. Report writing software allows the user to insert multiple images with data taken during a site survey to produce an inspection report. The HSI1200 measures the temperature of all 256 pixels that are displayed on the camera.
 
The thermal imager is light (1.54 pounds), compact, easy to operate and designed for hand-held use. It also features a tripod mount for remote use. The HSI1200 Hot Spot finder is used as a detection and diagnostic tool for many industrial, commercial and domestic applications including electrical, mechanical, HVAC and refrigeration.

The HSI1200 features a 16 by 16 pixel array, capable of displaying high-resolution, real-time, thermal images on a 3.5-inch color LCD display with backlight. The user may select from among three color palettes: red-blue, green-blue, or grayscale. It has a 20° by 20° field of view and offers user selectable image integration, emissivity values and reflected temperature. The HSI1200 imager is powered by a long life LI-ion rechargeable battery which is field replaceable and rechargeable. Standard accessories include a battery, an AC adaptor, a user manual and a carrying case.
