TROTEC IC200 – Thermal Imaging Camera (256 x 192 pixels)

The TROTEC IC200 is a fully radiometric thermal imaging camera for building diagnostics, maintenance and electrical thermography. Its uncooled microbolometer detector with 256 x 192 pixels (49,152 measuring points) records temperatures at 25 Hz in real time and shows them on a 3.5-inch touch display. With a thermal sensitivity of <0.1 °C, a geometric resolution of 3.75 mrad and a measuring range of -20 °C to 550 °C, the 500 g camera delivers precise thermograms; the IP54 housing is tested for 25G shock and 2G vibration.

How it works

The IC200 is operated with a combination of push buttons and the touch display: display mode, device parameters and measurement analysis settings are configured live via pictograms, and span and level of the temperature range can be adjusted directly with the cursor keys while you watch the live image. Besides the infrared and real image, the camera shows a blended view in any overlay intensity; DuoVision Plus fuses the infrared image with high-contrast contours from the integrated digital camera, which makes orientation and fault assignment easier. The stepless 1x to 16x digital zoom brings distant details closer.

For analysis, the IC200 offers up to four movable measuring points (3 manual, 1 automatic temperature tracking), area and profile analysis, hot/cold spot detection, an isotherm function and an acoustic alarm when freely set temperature limits are exceeded or not reached, useful for dew point detection on surfaces. Emissivity (0.01 to 1.0), reflected temperature, ambient temperature, distance and relative humidity can be entered for measurement correction. Images are saved as fully radiometric JPEGs, and infrared videos as non-radiometric MPEG-4 files directly on the storage medium. Connected by USB to a PC running the IR-Report NG software, the camera records and evaluates fully radiometric infrared videos in real time; radiometric videos can also be stored on the PC via WiFi.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IC200 record fully radiometric videos?
On the camera itself, IR videos are stored as non-radiometric MPEG-4 files. Fully radiometric infrared videos can be recorded and evaluated in real time when the camera is connected by USB to a PC running the IR-Report NG software; radiometric videos can also be stored on the PC via WiFi.

Does the IC200 have a manual focus?
No. The IC200 has a fixed focus with a minimum focus distance of 0.5 m, so objects at close range can also be examined.

How is the IC200 powered and charged?
By a Li-ion battery with an operating time of up to 4 h, or via 5 V DC mains power. The battery is charged via the USB-C port with the supplied USB power supply; an external Thermo charger IC200/IC300 and a spare battery are available as options.

Can I use the IC200 for checks on photovoltaic and electrical installations?
Yes. TROTEC lists functional testing of photovoltaic installations, electrical thermography and safety inspection of live industrial installations among its applications. It must not be used in potentially explosive areas.
