TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
(Optional, designated as /TP)
The addition of two sensors to the
Argus 2 camera allows the operator to
view the average scene temperature
(within a defined area) and the
ambient air temperature. The
temperatures are displayed as an
overlay on the camera video at the
bottom right hand side of the picture.
This system is intended to give the
operator the ability to detect possible
hazards such as hot gas bottles or
tanks and a warning of high air
temperatures.

Spot Temperature
&
.
Measurement is by means of a
pyrometer mounted inside the camera
case and viewing the scene through an
aperture in the outer cover. The sensor
is protected from heat and moisture as
are the other camera electronics. The
sensor displays the average scene
temperature within the sample
window, which appears as a digital
readout at the bottom of the display.
The camera can be configured to give
a reading in degrees C or degrees F,
specified at time of ordering.
