Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced the addition of two
new ranges of instruments to its portfolio of handheld tools. The U5855A
TrueIR thermal imager provides clear and sharp thermal images
with its unique Fine Resolution capability. The U1450A/60A Series offers
five models of insulation resistance testers with wireless testing and
report generation capability.
With the shift toward 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 inspecting small cracks on
industrial pipelines even 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.
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.
“We have come a long way since the launch of our first handheld product
in 2006, and with the U5855A TrueIR thermal imager, we have
expanded our reach into predictive maintenance for industrial
applications and building maintenance,” said Ee Huei Sin, vice
president, Agilent’s General-Purpose Electronic Measurement Division.
“With these two new handheld solutions, we continue to fulfill our
ongoing commitment of creating more dependable tools with essential
capabilities.”
About Agilent Remote Link Solution
The remote link solution 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 100 meters (300 feet), enabling safer and more
convenient testing in hazardous environments.
