"PREDATOR" SERIES OF
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS
EXPANDS WITH ADDITION OF
NINE NEW MODELS
Due to popular demand, the
"PREDATOR" Series of Thermal
Imaging Cameras from General Tools &
Instruments (General®) (New York, NY)
is expanding to include nine extended temperature range models. General's GTi10,
GTi20 and GTi50 are now available in
models with temperature measurement
ranges up to 600°C (1112°F), 1000°C
(1832°F) and 1500°C (2732°F).
Ideal for revealing hidden heat-driven
problems, General's thermal imaging
cameras detect very small temperature
differences from a distance and convert
an object's invisible infrared radiation to
a visible color image. These visual thermal
images (called thermograms) with multiple
temperature points enable the diagnosis of
equipment malfunctions and poor performance far more effectively than single-spot
conventional temperature measurement
devices. Like the products in the original
line, the new extended temperature range
models offer outstanding benefits and
value with a range of sophisticated features
all at a best-in-class price.
These instruments can generate significant long-term savings by helping to
quickly and easily:
• diagnose heat exchanger, motor or
compressor maintenance issues
• locate invisible or inaccessible thermal leaks and pinpoint leak sources (e.g.,
in piping or ductwork)
• inspect integrity of thermal insulation
• reveal overheated electrical circuits
• check/monitor combustion or temperature-controlled processes
• assess the "thermal envelope" of
any building and detect specific areas of
energy loss
• identify automotive issues like a misfiring cylinder, malfunctioning catalytic
converter, clogged condenser, restricted
refrigerant line, and hot spots signifying
engine cooling system blockage
• support maintenance and repair
efforts by documenting problem areas
General's thermal imaging cameras are
a strategic investment and typically pay
for themselves in a short period of time.
The cameras' manual focus, optional
interchangeable lenses and high resolution provide more accurate images and
assessments than competitive models.
They generate powerful, convincing
images (called thermograms) and related
data that help technicians and contractors document findings, design solutions
and convince customers or managers to
authorize recommended repairs.
