The newest addition to the SPI family
is the IR-235 DX compact thermal imager. This new unit shatters
the $8k barrier to bring you quality thermal imaging
at the greatest possible value. This is one unit that
you can truly afford to implement on a widespread basis.
The IR235DX is a diverse compact thermal imager
capable of performing the following applications:
* Energy audits / mold detection /
building studies
* Law enforcement / military / security / surveillance
* facility maintenance / condition monitoring
* Roofing surveys / mechanical & electrical analysis
* Weapons inspections / tank level integrity

Full Automatic Performance
- No buttons to push or settings to master on this infrared
camera. Point and shoot simplicity allows for easy one
hand operation of the Palm IR 235DX. Easy operation means
a very short learning curve for your agents. This translates
into rapid real world deployment and increased savings
through reduced training costs. total darkness. |

NTSC video output via RCA type jack allows you to easily
document your Thermal Applications. The Optional DX
package includes our Digital image storage attachment
which captures live thermal movies or still thermal
images via a removable SD ram card or supplied USB PC

| The image above and left was
taken with a professional level low light CCD camera.
The image on the right shows the difference a thermal
imager can make at night. Not only can you see the human
target (you can't miss that) but notice how much information
about the surrounding environment is also visible. This
is because all objects emit infrared energy. Our cameras
are not heat sensors but rather infrared sensors that
image all the infrared energy that is constantly being
emitted by all objects Day or Night. |

| Is it "BigFoot" strolling along
the back nine. No, unfortunately it is just a suspect
sneaking around the golf course. This guy heard the patrol,
stopped in his tracks and watched. He thought he was hidden
under the cover of darkness on this pitch black moon less
night. Little did he know that the IR235 was in use and
his every move was being tracked. The suspect was questioned
and released but I don't think he will be prowling around
at night any more. This was a great capture for the 225,
but we still kind of wish it was old Sasquach. |

Grey Scale imaging is so crisp sometimes you can
even read
the small text on the component label.

The classic "Hand on Wall" image
shows off the sensitivity of the instrument. This hand
print was left on the wall after only seconds of contact.
There is no ink or mark on the wall the effect comes from
the transfer of infrared energy from the hand to the wall.
This demonstration helps to illustrate the nature of the
IR technology. We are seeing IR energy not visible light,
and as a result we can gather a great deal of information
about our surroundings that is normally invisible to the
eye.
Thermal cameras like the b/w
225/235DX package let you see the unseen. You can easily
pinpoint areas of heating or cooling loss as well as
find valuable information regarding moisture damage and
possible mold infestation. The infrared camera is
the greatest tool in the energy audit arsenal. It gives
you a fast, simple and accurate method of diagnosing
building envelope energy audit anomolies.
Visible light image shows nothing
Heat loss is evident around windows in this stunning
thermal image. Color analysis is provided by SPI
exclusive Fusion IR
infrared camera analysis software package.
Simple and effective electrical inspections can be
carried out with the 235DX package. It is very easy
to see which component is hot!! Grey scale imaging is
preferred by most thermographers in the field because it
gives you a much clearer image of the scene. You
can easily tell what you are looking at in the grey
scale image above. The color image below is much
harder to decipher. Most of the time color is for
the customer and grey scale is for the professional.
This is why we created a powerful analysis tool called
Fusion IR Color that lets you prepare your high
definition grey scale images for presentation to your
customers.
