The Argus4 HR320 is the latest generation of the highly successful ArgusTM Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) from e2v technologies. The Argus4 HR320 uses a high-resolution 320 x 240 pixel, Amorphous Silicon (ASi) Microbolometer Detector. It has been designed using advanced digital imaging technology for a sharper picture and provides superior performance.

The Argus4 HR320 offers the same simple-to-operate configuration of the standard Argus4. It is a robust, selfcontained camera, with fully automatic operation, and no control or adjustment is required in use. The camera has been specifically designed to help firefighters to see through smoke, identify and rescue casualties and locate hot spots or the seat and spread of the fire. It has many further applications where temperatures require monitoring such as preventative maintenance and condition monitoring of equipment. It also provides vision where light is unavailable.

Argus4 HR320 STANDARD FEATURES

The Argus4 HR320 comes with the most advanced features available in any Thermal Imaging Camera.
These include:

• Enhanced Dynamic Scene Colourisation (EDSC) Colourises the thermal image to allow the fire-fighter to pinpoint the hottest areas within the fire scene. With the Argus4 HR320 the dynamic scene colourisation has been enhanced to give the user greater information.
• Direct Temperature Measurement (DTM) Displays the temperature of objects within a defined area of the thermal scene.
• SceneSaveTM Digital Image Capture The Argus4 HR320 can capture and store up to 100 images. These can then be viewed or deleted using the remote control supplied. Using the software provided, the captured images can be downloaded to a suitable laptop/PC and exported in various formats. • Tri-Mode Sensitivity
• The Argus4 HR320 now has an expanded third level of sensitivity for very high scene temperatures to enable clear imagery at all temperatures. This expanded temperature range means that temperatures in excess of 1000 °C can be viewed.
• Customisable Start-up Screen - Brigade logos or station names can be added to the start-up screen for asset tracking and/or personalisation of the camera.
• Ambient Temperature Measurement A sensor fitted to the front of the camera, which measures the ambient temperature of the local environment. The temperature is displayed on the viewing screen.
• X2/X4 Zoom -allows the user to zoom in on the scene, from a distance, for improved investigation and identification of hot spots and dangers.
• Time and Date- The time and date is displayed at the top of the viewing screen.
• Remote Control - The Argus4 HR320 is supplied with a remote control that allows the end user to adjust LCD settings, set the dynamic scene colourisation and set the time and date. Stored images can be reviewed and deleted.

Power for the Argus4 HR320 is provided by an integral battery pack located on the top of the camera. The camera has a single on/off button with a delayed off operation to prevent accidental power-down during use. The camera will display a start-up screen until a useable thermal image is produced. The Argus4 HR320 is constructed from high quality Radel®R-5100, which has been chosen for its strength, resistance to heat, water and impact. Protection from shock is provided by a combination of rugged components, optimum mechanical design and protective bumpers. The camera is sealed to allow short-term total immersion in water (IP67). The camera is supplied with side straps and a removable handle, which provides flexible operation and transfer between users.

No end-user maintenance is required other than recharging of batteries and post-use external cleaning with a soft cloth.
