Key Points from Key
Steve
Santangelo,
President:
Wahl has been a major player
in infrared handheld
thermometers for 40+years.
Our Heat Spy® Infrared series
of products have always been
the model for quality and
performance. Our new Heat
Spy® Imagers have features not seen in any other cameras
such as:
• When looking at an image
you can determine the
temperature of every point
on the screen. In fact, you
can identify two points on
the screen, and the camera
will indicate the
temperature of each point,
PLUS the differential
temperature. This is a big
advantage in diagnosing
problems.
• The “Heat Spy®” function
will automatically locate the
hottest and coldest points

Palmer Wahl Introduces the HSI3000 (Printable PDF)
Thermal Imaging Cameras
| Palmer Wahl Instrumentation Group announces the addition of the HSI3000 to its line of Wahl Heat Spy® Thermal Imaging Cameras. The low cost, ergonomically designed HSI3000 is an easy-to-use, light, compact, hand held thermal imaging camera. It is used as a detection and diagnostic tool for condition monitoring of electrical and mechanical systems, and building diagnostics such as detecting moisture damage, pest infestation, and |
insulation integrity. It is also useful for energy audits. The Wahl Heat Spy® HSI3000 features a 160 x 120, uncooled microbolometer array, capable of producing crisp high- resolution real time thermal images displayed on a large, bright 3.5" color LCD with LED backlight in any of three user selectable color palettes plus grayscale.
Two measurement cursors, movable anywhere on the image, provide temperature readings at each cursor location, and indicate real-time differential temperature measurement

between the two points anywhere along the 14°F to 482°F (-10°C to +250°C) range. A trigger activated Class II laser will precisely identify problem hot spots shown on the marked center of the display. Over 1000 images can be stored onboard for recall and post analysis, and images can also be downloaded to a PC using the supplied memory card reader or USB connection for use with the included software. The HSI3000 is powered by a long life LI-ion rechargeable battery. Standard accessories included with the Wahl Heat Spy® HSI3000 are: battery, AC adapter, USB Cable, user manual and software CD, wrist strap, memory card and reader, and a rugged, foam lined, lockable, waterproof carrying case.

| Powerful Features of the HSI3000 Include: |
Two moveable

locates Hot & Cold
Spots! |
 |
Heat Spy® Imager uses a state of the art uncooled 160 x 120 micro bolometer detector. All of the 19,200 pixels are capable of indicating temperatures on the screen. Simply move the + and x cursors to any location on the screen and the temperatures and differential (deltaT) temperature are displayed.
|
|
Reduced Area
mode helps to
evaluate the
Hot Spot!
|
 |
Each cursor can be put into "Heat Spy®" mode to automatically find the hottest and coldest temperature in the image. Easier than ever to find a hot spot and be able to identify it by using the laser pointer when aligned with circle in middle of screen. Choose an area rectangle screen and only the temperatures inside the rectangle will be displayed. Surrounding temperatures can be seen on the screen but are ignored so you can focus in on your target. This feature is most useful in distance applications or small targets.
|
|
Unlimited
Storage! |
 |
Removeable 256 MB memory card stores over 1000 images. Larger MB memory cards or additional cards store an unlimited number of thermal images! Thus you can keep working in the field without having to take the camera to the office to download images.

|
Sharper Images
on a Bigger
Display! |
 |
More pixels provide a higher resolution thermal image and allow identification of smaller detail in the image and consequently more accurate temperature measuring.
Better sensitivity (0.15°C) detects the smallest temperature difference from pixel to pixel resulting in a sharper image on a big 3-1/2" display. |
|
Powerful Post
Analysis
Software

|
 |
Software is included so you can download and manipulate, analyze and store thermal images. Includes hot and cold spot cursors that will identify the high and low temperatures in the thermal image. Other features include histogram, 2D profiles, dual isotherms and the ability to add multiple temperature points anywhere on the scene.

| Applications Include: |
ELECTRICAL
Most electrical problems exhibit a gradual rise in temperature prior to their failure. These problems can relate to problems such as:
- Loose or over tight connections.
- Shorted or overloaded circuits
- Load imbalances.
- Components which have failed or are fatigued such as fuses, circuit breakers, transformers, etc.
|
|
BUILDING INSPECTION
Help reduce heating and cooling energy costs. Find areas of moisture intrusion in roof and walls. Identify conditions conducive to mold or pest problems.
- Detect improper or missing insulation.
- Detect energy losses due to air leakage or conductive losses through walls.
- Check central heating/cooling and underfloor heating systems.
|
|
MECHANICAL
Excessive heating of mechanical devices can signify problems such as:
- Improper lubrication of bearings and motors.
- Misalignments in rotating equipment.
- Improper tension in drive belts and pulleys.
|
|
OTHER USES
Monitoring.
- Process Monitoring
- Quality Control.
- Product Development & Testing.
- And many more....

on the screen. This is an enormous time saver compared to finding these points manually on competitors’ cameras.
• Selection of the “Area” option inserts a small visible rectangle, centered on the screen. This concentrates on a smaller area of the display. Max and min temperatures are indicated inside that rectangle only, simplifying the viewing of defined area hot or cold spots. This information is useful for future reference when downloaded on your computer.
|
|
• The memory card allows you to store an almost unlimited number of images. No more running to a PC to download pictures. This maximizes your productivity... after all - time is money.
• Finally, no other camera gives you a 160 x 120 array at a price under $6,000.
There are many other great features that we know you will love about this camera, including our Money Back Guarantee! Give this high resolution camera a try, and the performance

will amaze you! If you are not completely satisfied, simply return the camera for a complete refund.
Save money, save time, and be more effective than ever when performing preventative and predictive maintenance and other tasks. When you’re in the market for a thermal imaging camera, think about how the Wahl Heat Spy Imager will save you time and money... $Ka-Ching$!
