Thermal Camera PCE-TC 9
 Thermal Camera with motorized autofocus / 384 x 288 Pixel / IP 50 protected housing /
 real-time data transfer from Thermal Camera to PC / 3.0 MP digital camera

The lightweight Thermal Camera PCE-TC 9 (393g), with a sensitive infrared microbolometer (NETD < 65 mK) and an ergonomic design, is the ideal choice for professional thermographs. The Thermal Camera PCE-TC 9 convinces with an easy handling, high performance and acceptable acquisition costs. The integrated 3.0 megapixel camera simplifies documentation and reporting. The IR- and real-images are taken from a safe distance and can then be stored on the SD card in JPEG format. The included 2 GB memory card is capable for storing 5000 images taken by the Thermal Camera PCE-TC 9. Thereupon, these images can be analyzed with a PC by the also included software package. The 3.5-inch color LCD of the Thermal Camera can be rotated 270deg. The LCD of the Thermal Camera shows the min., max., and average temperature, 3 selectable measuring ranges (each with min., max. and average value) and 4 measuring points. With these features, the Thermal Camera is suitable for performing significant thermography. Additional functions such as setting isotherms, or the point-, line-, and area-functions facilitate image analysis and increase the flexibility of the Thermal Camera PCE-TC 9.
