Hardware Capabilities
Q: What is the scan distance?
A: 0.3 to 1.5 meter.
Q: What is the temperature detection speed?
A: 1 second.
Q: Does the temperature sensor need to be calibrated?
A: No. It is factory calibrated and does not require a blackbody in the field. The TAVIS will lock onto a person’s forehead
area or Canthus of the eye ignoring all background that does not apply.
Q: Is the connection from the sensor to the RXM-1 USB?
A: Yes, it is a USB 2.0 sensor module.
Infrared Technology
Q: What technology does TAVIS use to detect temperature?
A: TAVIS uses Long Wave Infrared Technology, a type of forward-looking infrared technology.
Q: How does Long Wave Infrared Technology compare to other Infrared Technology?
A: Long Wave Infrared Technology does not need to be cooled. As a result, it requires less maintenance than Medium
Wave Infrared Technology and Short-Wave Infrared Technology. The length of the waves makes LWIR suitable for dusty
or foggy environments as well, since it detects what temperature radiates from an object.
Q: How accurate is the infrared sensor?
A: +/- 0.3 degree Celsius.
Q: How is the temperature so accurate?
A: Extensive R&D was done by our German manufacturers to create a reliable long wave infrared sensor.
