The Fluke Ti480U Thermal Camera is a handheld infrared-imaging camera with a 640 x 480 IR resolution, 50mK thermal sensitivity, extended temperature range, Ultrafocus technology, and industrial design. Suitable for professional applications, the Fluke Ti480U can be used to inspect high-voltage equipment, overhead pipelines, and large mechanical systems.
Did you know there are two other models in Fluke's Ti Ultra Series? Discover which camera is right for you - Read our Fluke Ti Ultra Thermal Camera Buying Guide.
The Fluke Ti480U Thermal Camera detects and depicts subtle temperature differences to deliver clear, detailed thermal images, helping you pinpoint potential problems and identify targets. To this end, it features improved spatial resolution, enhanced thermal sensitivity, and a 640 x 480px resolution that can be increased to 1280 x 960px using the SuperResolution function.
Ultrafocus technology is complemented by laser-assisted targeting and continuous autofocus to support easier, more efficient inspections. It uses temperature differences to deliver fast, reliable focusing in as little as a second, even in complex scenes.
Flexible on-screen zooming and a 10x digital zoom allow engineers to inspect remote targets as well as remain at a safe distance when checking dangerous equipment and systems.
Capable of measuring temperatures between -20°C and +1200°C to an accuracy of ±2°C/2%, the Fluke Ti480U supports high-temperature applications and advanced testing requirements.
Compatibility with SmartView IR Software simplifies and streamlines workflows. Using SmartView IR, engineers can process thermal videos, analyse data, and generate reports.
A pistol-grip design enables single-handed operation. This, paired with an ergonomic, rugged housing, makes the Fluke Ti480U suitable for use in industrial environments.
The most sophisticated model in Fluke’s Ti Ultra Series, the Ti480U Thermal Camera offers high IR resolution, a broad temperature range, fast focusing, and a tough design, making it ideal for industrial applications.
