1. Description
The Megger TC3231 is a professional, easy to use, thermal imaging camera. Fast accurate readings are possible,
covering a wide range of surface temperatures with on-screen spot as well as max/min temperature measurement and
tracking. With the added convenience of image blending provided by combining a visual and full infrared image on
screen, troubleshooting and pinpointing problems is made far simpler. Captured images can be stored on the included
SD card for later viewing on MAC/PC. A range of thermal image display palettes, high/low user preset alarms and fully
adjustable emissivity make the Megger TC3231 an extremely versatile instrument for multiple applications.
