New entry-level Fluke TiS Building Diagnostic Thermal Imaging Scanner
Tough, reliable, affordable tool designed for building applications
Fluke, the global leader in portable electronic test and measurement technology, has introduced a new entry- level Fluke TiS Thermal Imaging Scanner for Building Diagnostics. Now Fluke quality, durability and performance are available in a thermal imager engineered for the value-conscious building professional. Specifically designed for building and home inspectors, electricians, energy auditors, HVAC/R professionals, insulators, roofers and window installers, the Fluke TiS is the perfect tool to identify hidden issues, find moisture intrusion, detect energy losses or missing insulation, spot overheating in electrical components, identify leaking ductwork, inspect steam traps and check compressors, motors and pumps.
The Fluke TiS Building Diagnostic Thermal Imaging Scanner is the top- performing imager in its price class. It has the highest resolution (120x120) in its price class and the largest display size, 3.6”,
Building a
power solution for LEGOLAND® Windsor
Exide Technologies has been the power behind the popular self-drive boats at LEGOLAND Windsor for many years. Exide’s monobloc batteries – the type commonly found in cars, golf caddies and cleaning machines – have been used to provide reliable quiet power for the 30 boats at ‘The Boating School’ for 14 years. Now, a series of SP high frequency chargers from Exide have been installed to get the best from the batteries and to reduce charging costs.
Steve Hainge, Ride Maintenance Manager at LEGOLAND Windsor comments. “It’s not just children that ride in the boats; we will often have 2 adults and a child in a boat and the boat can be in use for 10-hours a day - so we have to be sure that the batteries are able to cope. The lead acid technology has not changed ostensibly for over 150 years – mainly because it is proven and reliable;

improvements have actually come from the chargers. The 2100 range of high frequency (HF) battery chargers, are considerably lighter and smaller than conventional chargers and unlike traditional ‘tapered’ chargers, which give a burst of current, which reduces over time, the HF chargers continually monitor the output/input to regulate the charge to an optimal level.”
Steve continues: “High Frequency chargers are also far more reliable. They can withstand fluctuations in current and
voltage far more effectively. This feature both protects the battery and the charger circuitry. The 2100 SP HF technology can also provide considerable financial savings due to improved power conversion, resulting in shorter charging times and lower energy costs – a positive step in helping LEGOLAND Windsor reduce its carbon emissions.”

Building & Facilities Management – August 2010
which is 30% larger than comparable imagers. And it is the only imager in its class with versatile manual focus. The award winning design includes a three- button menu designed for intuitive operation and navigation. The rugged Fluke TiS Thermal Scanner is tested to withstand a drop of 2 metres, and is IP54 rated to withstand water and dust.
With a widescreen, full color LCD display and increased thermal sensitivity, the Fluke TiS Building Diagnostic Scanner is designed for applications including: • Weathering and Energy Audits: Increase the thermal efficiency of a home or building by scanning for thermal heat loss, air infiltration or exfiltration, or air delivery problems.
• Roofing Surveys: Detect wet areas in roofing systems quickly and efficiently to repair or replace before the entire roof is damaged.
• Moisture/Restoration: Accurately detect moisture issues located
behind
exterior and interior walls, in ceilings or under carpet- covered floors.
• Mould
Remediation: Control mould by
finding unknown sources of moisture.
• Electrical Inspection: Detect overheated components in circuits, switch panels, motors, pumps and more.
• HVAC Inspection: Identify leaking ductwork, inspect steam traps and check compressors, motors and pumps.
Fluke thermal imagers can be purchased from authorised Fluke distributors. For more information about all Fluke products, visit
