BLACK DECKER Digital Thermal Leak Detector TLD100

Product Information

Home inspectors and many other industry professionals use thermal cameras regularly and need to be able to take photos, store them, and even send them wirelessly to others. Thermal cameras may have BMP or JPEG file formats; BMPs are problematic to convert into a readable form, while JPEGs can be read by most devices.

This visual inspection camera has a visual light image enhancement floodlight to help identify objects and present them in a combined view. The camera can measure temperatures from -4 to 752 degrees Fahrenheit with an accuracy rating of 4 degrees Fahrenheit and has a 3.5-inch integrated touchscreen for simple, effective control. An infrared, IR or thermal imaging camera works by detecting and measuring the infrared radiation emanating from objects - in other words, their heat signature.To be able to achieve hight efficiency of detector, it is necessary to use a material with a high coefficient of temperature of electrical resistance. Today, most bolometers use semiconductor or superconductor absorptive elements rather than metals.

A full explanation of the technical reasons for this would be somewhat complex from a physics standpoint, but the principle is pretty straightforward. In essence, a sheet of glass allows visible light through but acts a bit like a mirror for infrared wavelengths (this is why the lenses on IR cameras are commonly made from germanium or zinc selenide, not glass). Herschel found he could place a thermometer just beyond the red light end of the spectrum to detect the existence of a hitherto unknown invisible band, warmer than any of those in visible light Although there are several of us on the team, including me (Adam Juniper), we generally test thermal cameras by using them in day-to-day tasks like inspecting ventilation/insulation, heating equipment (radiators, boilers) and plumbing (hot water pipes and taps). We also test any special claims made by the manufacturer about individual products, as well as the overall experience. It works in three modes and depending on your requirement, you can also use it as a moisture and humidity reader to assess issues relating to damp ness . Furthermore, surface temperature and thermal bridge modes help maintain the room temperature and detect poor insulation, respectively.

The FLIR TG165 is another gem from the leading thermal camera brand that combines precision with high-quality thermal images for accurate results each time. That being said, with this device, you can seamlessly conduct home and building inspections, thereby identifying energy inefficiencies, moisture damage, and electrical problems in a jiffy. Also, while considering easy operability, pay attention to the display size of the device. On that end, it’s best to invest in a model with a larger screen for convenient viewing. Additional Features and Accessories With your thermal camera you can verify that your hot water heater is performing to the appropriate standard or if it needs to be repaired or replaced. Typical thermal cameras have a range of plus or minus four degrees Fahrenheit, though there are more accurate thermal imaging cameras. And to add to your convenience, this Seek model comes equipped with a 300-lumen LED light so you can clearly see while working in an unlit or dark space. All these intuitive features, coupled with advanced technology, make it a convenient thermal imaging device whether you’re a DIYer solving home insulation problems or an electrician trying to locate hotspots.
