PCE-TC 3  thermal camera for professionals
with high resolution and comes with software

At the core of this thermal camera is an uncooled focal plane array with a resolution of 160 x 120 pixels. The PCE-TC 3 thermal camera is ergonomical and easy to use wth only one hand. Thanks to its light weight of only 750g, it's ideal for the analysis of machines and systems, for thermographics in construction and many other applications. The PCE-TC 3 thermal camera offers a measurement accuracy of ±2ºC or ±2% within a temperature range of -10ºC to 250ºC, and wth a sensitivity of only 0.15ºC. Two moveable points can be manipulated in situ on the camera's colour display and show the corresponding temperature. This device also allows the user to automatically see the Hot-Spot and Cold Spot, and can measure the difference in temperature. With these top-of-the-range functions, irregularities can immediately be spotted and pertinant measures can be taken in situ. The integrated laser pointer allows for the device to be accurately aimed to ensure that the correct area is being measured.
Images that are saved to the camera's SD memory card can be transferred to a computer via the USB port or to take measurements while the camera is connected to a computer. Software comes included and it does more than just allow for analysis of thermal images, it permits the user to generate reports without extensive knowledge of or experience using the device. Here you will find other thermal cameras with similar characteristics to this one. This link shows and overview of all the thermal cameras that you could need. We are available to assist you in choosing the best device to suit your requirements.
