The testo 872s Thermal Imaging Camera is designed for professionals who require high-resolution thermal imaging, smart connectivity, and precision measurement integration. With an infrared resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (enhanced to 640 x 480 pixels with SuperResolution), this camera captures sharp, detailed thermal images, making it ideal for HVAC, electrical, industrial maintenance, and building inspections.
Equipped with a wide temperature measurement range (-30°C to 650°C) and an impressive 50mK thermal sensitivity, the testo 872s detects even the smallest temperature differences (0.06°C), allowing for accurate diagnosis of insulation defects, electrical faults, and mechanical issues. The wide 42° x 30° field of view ensures fast and efficient scanning of large areas.
The testo 872s is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for seamless data transfer and real-time report generation via the testo Thermography App (available for iOS and Android). The app provides: Live second display on a smartphone or tablet, Remote camera operation and On-site report creation and sharing.
Additionally, the testo 872s connects via Bluetooth to the testo 770-3 Clamp Meter and testo 605i Thermohygrometer. The testo 770-3 allows you to capture electrical current and voltage data for comprehensive system analysis. the testo 605i allows you to record ambient temperature and humidity conditions for advanced building diagnostics and automatically detect mould risk using the humidity traffic light function.
The built-in laser marker projects a visible measuring point onto the target, which is precisely displayed in the thermal image for accurate documentation and analysis. The integrated digital camera captures standard images alongside thermal images, making it easier to compare, analyse, and report findings.
The testo ScaleAssist and ɛ-Assist functions optimize colour scale settings and emissivity adjustments, ensuring consistent, error-free, and objective thermal images. Automatic hot/cold spot detection instantly identifies critical temperature variations. The IFOV warning system prevents measurement errors by displaying the correct measurement spot size in real-time. A 2x digital zoom and multiple colour palettes provide flexibility in viewing thermal anomalies, while on-screen area measurement enhances analysis accuracy.
