Topdon TC002C Duo Thermal Imaging Camera

The Topdon TC002C Duo is a multifunctional thermal imaging camera designed to transform your smartphone or tablet into a powerful thermal inspection tool. This compact and rugged device combines advanced infrared technology with the convenience of mobile connectivity, making it an essential tool for a wide range of professional and personal applications. With the TC002C Duo, you can reveal invisible heat patterns, which is crucial for detecting issues that go unnoticed by the naked eye.

Core functionalities and technology:

The TC002C Duo stands out for its excellent image quality and accuracy. The heart of the device is the infrared sensor with a resolution of 256 x 192 pixels. This means you get detailed thermal images, which is essential for identifying even the smallest temperature deviations.

• Wide temperature range: This camera can measure temperatures from -20°C to 550°C (-4°F to 1022°F). This wide range makes it suitable for various environments, from checking cooling systems to inspecting industrial machines or electrical panels that generate high temperatures.
• High measurement accuracy: With a precision of ±2°C or ±2% (whichever is greater), the TC002C Duo delivers reliable and reproducible results. This accuracy is crucial for diagnostic tasks requiring precise temperature measurements.
• Adaptive image display: You can choose from 11 different color palettes, such as Iron Red, Rainbow, White Hot, Black Hot, and more. These palettes help you optimally visualize temperature differences and adjust the display to the specific inspection situation or your personal preference. This improves contrasts and makes it easier to detect anomalies.
• Fast refresh rate: A framerate of 25Hz ensures smooth real-time thermal images, which is useful when scanning larger surfaces or moving objects.

Connectivity and ease of use:

One of the biggest advantages of the Topdon TC002C Duo is the seamless integration with your mobile device.

• Duo connectivity: The camera is equipped with both a Lightning connector for iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) and a USB-C port for Android devices. This means you don't need separate adapters and can easily switch between different devices, greatly increasing versatility.
• Plug & play design: No external batteries or complex installations are needed. The TC002C Duo gets power directly from your smartphone or tablet, making it always ready for use as soon as you connect it.
• Intuitive mobile app: The special, free downloadable app (available in the App Store and Google Play Store) is the central hub for all functionalities. Through the app you can:
  • View real-time thermal images: See immediately what the camera detects on your mobile device's screen.
  • Temperature analysis: Place measurement points on the screen to read specific temperatures, or use tools like maximum/minimum temperature markers for a given area.
  • Photo and video recording: Capture thermal images as photos (.JPG) or videos (.MP4) for documentation, analysis, and reporting.
  • Alarm settings: Configure temperature alarms that alert you when a certain threshold is exceeded.
  • Reporting and Sharing: Easily export images, generate reports, and share via email or other communication channels.
  • Picture-in-picture (PIP) function: Provide your thermal images with an optical camera overlay from your smartphone for extra context.

Application areas:

The Topdon TC002C Duo is a versatile instrument that can be used in various sectors and for different tasks:

• Construction and inspection:
  • Leak detection: Trace water leaks in walls, floors, and ceilings, even if they are not visible.
  • Insulation check: Identify cold bridges, missing or insufficient insulation in buildings, helping with energy savings.
  • Moisture issues: Detect moisture accumulation behind surfaces, which can lead to mold growth.
  • Underfloor heating: Visualize the pattern of underfloor heating pipes to detect problems or prevent drilling damage.
• Electrical and mechanical inspections:
  • Overheating: Check electrical panels, circuit breakers, motors, and bearings for overheating, indicating potential failures or safety risks.
  • Component diagnosis: Identify defective or inefficient components in machinery and electronics.
• HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning):
  • Air leaks: Locate air leaks around windows, doors, and ducts that lead to energy loss.
  • System efficiency: Check the performance of heating and cooling systems.
• Automotive:
