Agilent moves into hand-held thermal imaging, with high-resolution processing
In predictive maintenance, the U5855A TrueIR thermal imager allows engineers to safely and efficiently identify potential faults without shutting down the systems or disrupting the productivity of an industrial plant. The U5855A comes with Fine Resolution capability, which enhances the quality of thermal images by reconstructing the image based on multiple continuously captured infrared frames. This allows the U5855A to achieve an effective image resolution of 320 x 240 pixels from a 160 x 120 pixel detector. With this feature, the U5855A provides four times more resolution than typical 160 x 120 thermal imagers. Together with a 4x digital zoom, the U5855A reveals finer details, especially when measuring from a distance away.
The U5855A’s light and ergonomic design allows engineers to comfortably use the thermal imager for longer periods of time, and operate it single-handedly in tight locations. Users can also easily change settings or access frequently used functions such as torch light and laser pointer, auto scaling or trigger with quick access buttons. With in-camera monitoring and analysis capabilities, the U5855A saves time by eliminating the need to connect to a PC. For more in-depth analysis and report generation, engineers can use the TrueIR Analysis and Reporting Tool PC software, which can be downloaded free of charge by visiting www.agilent.com/find/TrueIR_ART

Insulation resistance testers added
Also new to Agilent’s hand-held products are the U1450A/60A Series, five models of insulation resistance testers with wireless testing and report generation capability.
The U1450A/60A Series are 1 kV insulation resistance testers that measure leakage current and insulation resistance for preventive maintenance applications, such as checking the integrity of windings or cables in motors, transformers and electrical installations. The U1450A/60A Series comes with report-generation software that engineers can use to produce error-free automated test reports in table and graph forms. All five models are certified to IP 67 and are compatible with the Agilent remote link solution, enabling wireless remote insulation testing.
For applications that require unique test voltages, the U1450A/60A Series offers two models with adjustable test voltage ranges from 10 V to 1.1 kV, with 1 V step increments. A two-in-one insulation tester model with a 4.5 digit full-featured digital multimeter is also available.
The remote link is Agilent’s next generation wireless connectivity solution. By simply attaching the U1177A or U1117A infrared-to-Bluetooth adapter to a compatible Agilent handheld meter, engineers are able to remotely measure, view and test measurements from the new U1115A remote logging display, iOS/Android smart devices or on a Windows PC. The new U1117A also comes with an extended range of up to 100m, enabling safer and more convenient testing in hazardous environments.
