Testo 883-2 Thermal Imaging Camera with 42° lens

The Testo 883-2 Thermal Imaging Camera with 42° lens is able to quickly and reliably identify thermal abnormalities anywhere from large installations to small residential buildings. Developed for building energy consultants, this versatile and flexible camera saves time on the job, whilst still ensuring highly-accurate results. The 883-2 has an infrared resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, which SuperResolution increases to 640 x 480, and a thermal sensitivity of <40mK. With a measuring range between -30 to +650°C with ±2°C accuracy, the Testo 883-2 offers a solution to on-sight issues such as unclear imagery or unplanned downtime. Testo ScaleAssist and SiteRecognition ensure that the tool can be used accurately and to the peak of its powers.

The 883-2 has an intuitive touch screen display, and gives you complete control over the manual focus of the exciting, interchangeable lenses. With the standard lens offering a field of view (FOV) of 42° x 32°, or 12° x 9° with the Telephoto lens included in the 883-2 Kit, the user can ensure that sharp thermal imagery can be conducted from a distance of only 10cm. The Telephoto lens is ideal for distant objects and outdoor recording. To ensure that the thermal imagery is not affected by the difference in outdoor/indoor temperature, the 883-2 uses ScaleAssist to overcome this issue, by offering these advantages:

  • The optimum contrast can be achieved
  • Unimportant items on the image are faded out
  • The misinterpretation of data is avoided
  • Weak spots can be easier-detected
  • Infrared images can be compared regardless of ambient conditions

The 883-2's included Testo e-Assist can automatically recognise emissivity and determination of reflected temperature, with 11 colour palettes included as standard. Featuring a built-in digital camera and laser marker, this easy-to-handle device is IP54 rated, has an internal memory of 2.8GB and can operate up to 5 hours on one battery charge.

Testo SiteRecognition

For intelligent image management, the Testo 883-2 Thermal Imaging Camera includes the advanced feature Testo SiteRecognition. Based on a QR code, Data Matrix code, barcode or Testo 2D code, thermal images are automatically assigned to the correct measurement object. This ensures engineers do not lose track of item locations and eliminates the need for tedious, manual image management on a PC. These measuring locations can then be transferred from existing inventory lists, along with collected results, for further processing in a third-party program. Often operators will have to take a considerable amount of pictures of very similar objects, Testo SiteRecognition saves a lot of time and stress discerning which is which and where it is located.

Testo IRSoft & Thermography App

Compatible with the Testo 883-2, IRSoft is a professional piece of PC software designed to comprehensively analyse thermal images and swiftly compile impressive customer reports. With a report wizard tool guiding you step-by-step, create reports using stored or customised templates created in the report designer feature. Displaying detailed documentation in an easy-to-read format, these templates contain all the relevant information such as location, measuring task and inspection results. This advanced PC software can:

  • Highlight the exceeding or undershooting of limit values or pixels within a temperature range
  • Correct emissivity's of different materials for image areas or sole pixels
  • Set an unlimited number of measuring points
  • Determine hot and cold spots
  • Enable comments on thermal imagery

Testo IRSoft is included with the both the standard Testo 883-2 thermal imager and Testo 883-2 Kit, free of charge and does not require a licence.

With the Testo Thermography App, your smart device becomes a second display and remote control for the 883-2 IR camera. Live streaming is available for customers and reports can be generated on-site. Use the app to insert measuring points and establish a temperature curve, add comments, store relevant data or see a preview of the full report. The Testo Thermography App is free and available for both Android & iOS.
