WARNING
The Infrared Camera is a high precious optics and measurement
equipment, please be careful when using it:
1. Do not point the camera straightly to the sun, laser welding
torch or other over high temperature target for inspection.
2. Do not use the incorrect temperature measurement range to
measure the high temperature target which is over the setting
range.
If the camera was burned, damaged or comes out other problems
cause by the reasons mentioned above, the manufacturer will not
take the responsibility of warranty, all the repair fees, transportation
fees will be paid by the user.

Foreword
Infrared thermal imaging inspection-technology has been an
important means to guarantee safe industrial production in the developed
countries for a long time. In the sectors of electric power, metallurgy,
petrochemistry, machinery, coal, communication, fire control, frontier
defense, etc., with corporations in continuous productions, infrared
thermal imaging inspection-technology can be used to perform
non-contact real-time measurement on the production equipment
constantly under the working conditions of high voltage, heavy current
and high-speed operation. You do not need to cut power, shut down
machine, or stop production to capture the latent faults and prevent the
occurrence of such faults. This “Non-Contact” modernized inspection
measure is safe, reliable and prompt. It is a revolution compared with the
“Contact” inspection measures widely adopted. Infrared thermal imaging
inspection-technology is widely applied in the following fields:
zInspection of power equipment and transmission and transformer
lines
zReconnaissance of hidden fire source in fire control
zPersonnel searching and rescuing in fire disasters, as well as
fire-spot command
zAnalyses of heat leakage location and heat loss for the heat pipes
and thermal equipment
zLocation of thermal failure of the running trains
zHeat analyses of wiring rationalization in micro-electronics industry
zNight monitoring for the security departments
zThe infrared thermal imaging inspection technology can be deemed
as the “piercing eye” in the modern industrial inspection fields.

1 Profile of SDS HotFind-D IR Camera
1.1 Survey：
HotFind-D was manufactured by SDS Infrared Limited. It is a smaller
size, easier operating and stronger functioned infrared camera. SDS
HotFind-D combines the technologies of advanced detector, IR image
processing and computer. It is one of the advanced portable IR cameras
for industrial inspection. Its advantages can be summarized as follows.
Uncooled FPA detector with greatly improved reliability and
much longer service life than the cooled thermal imaging
system
Dustproof, moisture proof and resistance to electromagnetic
interference to enable it to work under all kinds of harsh
conditions
Small size and light, can be held by one hand. It is one of the
lightest IR camera in the world
Longer battery life, shorter charging time and the intelligent
charger clearly indicates the charging status
Advanced circuit to guarantee the normal work and
multi-function analyses of the equipment
Attractive and user-friendly menu of Windows style
Provide real-time high resolution color images
High resolution image
High thermal sensitivity
Powerful temperature measurement functions
Powerful analysis, with spot, line, area temperature analysis
performed directly on the equipment
SDS has developed a powerful SDS infrared image processing
software to be used in conjunction with HotFind-D. The operator can not
only see the infrared image but also perform spot, line and area analyses,

and easily complete the inspection report (including data and charts of
infrared images, visible-light photos, max., min. and mean temperatures
of the image, line analysis, area analysis, infrared parameters, etc.). In
addition, the software has the functions of multi-page analysis and
alternate page analysis. The user can put certain analysis results
together on the specified pages and change them into word format, so
that the report can be more case-specific and visualized.
