Testo 872 Building Inspection Kit & FREE 605i Smart Probe

The Testo 872 Building Inspection Kit & FREE 605i Smart Probe is a promotional offer consisting of the following Testo products:

• Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera with Standard Accessories
• FREE Testo 605i Bluetooth Thermohygrometer Smart Probe/ Data Logger

It can be used to identify areas that are susceptible to mould prior to mould developing, making it particularly useful for inspecting old and new buildings including houses and apartments.

The Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera is able to measure surface temperature; this data is used with ambient temperature and humidity readings gathered by the Testo 605i Thermo-Hygrometer Smart Probe to calculate relative surface moisture, which in turn is used to ascertain the risk of mould. The calculated surface moisture and corresponding mould risk are indicated in a humidity image viewable via the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera’s display. The severity of the mould risk is shown using traffic light colour coding:

• Green = no risk, the surface moisture is between 0% and 59%
• Amber = caution, mould formation is possible as the surface temperature is between 60% and 79%
• Red = attention, risk of mould is high as the surface moister is 80% or above

Data gathered by the Testo 605i Thermo-Hygrometer Smart Probe is logged to the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera in real-time via Bluetooth; the Testo 605i has a Bluetooth range of up to 350ft. The Testo 605i Thermo-Hygrometer Smart Probe is also able to log data to an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet with the Testo Smart Probe App installed. In addition to allowing the user to view data gathered by the Testo 605i Thermo-Hygrometer Smart Probe, the Testo Smart Probe App can be used to organise data into reports to be sent via email. The Testo Smart Probe App will also calculate dew point and wet bulb temperature. The video below offers an overview of Testo’s range of Smart Probes.

Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera Description

The Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera is optimised for conducting building inspections and to this end includes a number of features and functions designed to ensure reliability, accuracy and simplicity of operation. Please see the video below for a brief introduction to Testo's thermal imaging cameras. 

The Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera has an infrared resolution of 320 x 240px, providing up to 76 800 temperature measurement points. The Testo 872 IR Imager’s thermal resolution can be increased to 640 x 480px using its SuperResolution technology.

Providing the user with a comprehensive overview of the temperature distribution is the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera’s fixed-focus 42° lens which equips the camera with a wide field-of-view. A fixed-focus lens also removes the need for manual focusing. Automatic hot and cold spot recognition ensures that critical temperature differences are always indicated; the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera is able to detect temperature differences as slight as 0.06°C.

In addition to automatic hot and cold spot recognition, the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera’s Testo ɛ-Assist function will automatically determine and set the emissivity and reflected temperature, ensuring accurate measurements.

Similarly, the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera’s IFOV warner allows the user to see exactly what he/she is measuring as it calculates the distance from the object/ area being measured and indicates the measurement spot on the thermal image. Like the Testo ɛ-Assist function, the IFOV warner helps to reduce errors.

Moreover, the Testo ScaleAssist function aids the user with capturing objectively comparable and error-free thermal images. It automatically sets the correct thermal scale.

In addition to the aforementioned measurement and image functions and features, the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera includes support for wireless communication via a WLAN interface. The user can transfer images wirelessly from the IR camera to a smartphone or tablet with the Testo Thermography App installed (available for iOS and Android). The Testo Thermography app enables the smartphone or tablet to function as a second display and/or as a remote control. This app can also be used to write and send reports on-site, as well as save them online.

Alternatively, the Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera can be used with the Testo IRSoft Software (free download) to analyse temperature and humidity images and create reports.

The Testo 872 Thermal Imaging Camera is an easy-to-use, reliable and precise infrared imager.
