Corona Camera MultiCAM

UV/IR Multispectral Daylight Camera

The MultiCAM System provides a simultaneous video image of an infrared spot and corona. This information assists the user in determining the location of the hot spot and/or corona and also, by a close examination, its possible cause. Since the video provides a moving image, it is possible to determine the seriousness of the hotspot (i.e. how the pattern develops over time), the characteristics of the corona source and to identify the type in question.

Features of MultiCAM

It is a diagnostic tool that enables the user to locate and identify corona discharge and infrared hot spot activity on electrical equipment.
It can operate in daylight or at night (with the help of artifi cial light).
It produces a video image of the hot spots and of a corona discharge which is superimposed on the object. This allows the user to determine the exact location of the hot spot and of the corona in respect of the real image.
It is portable, i.e. it fi ts into a carry-case and is powered by a rechargeable battery lasting approximately 40 minutes per charge. The battery is fi tted into the camera housing.
It is a pick up and go device requiring little or no assembly on removal from its carry case.
It is easy to carry the camera on board an aeroplane.
Its output is a standard composite video signal and it can be connected to a suitable portable video recorder that allows for the recording of results on site.
Ergonomic design ensures that control buttons fall easily to hand when operating.
High quality colour viewfi nder display.
