NEW THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEM SCREENS FOR BIRD FLU

Amid growing fears of bird flu pandemic and the threat of the virulent strain spreading through human-to-human transmission, Wahl Instruments, Inc. has introduced the Wahl Fever Alert Imaging System designed specifically for mass screening for individuals with elevated body temperatures in public areas like air/sea ports, rail/subway stations and large industrial manufacturing facilities. An increased body temperature, or fever, from the "normal" (98.6 °F or 37°C) is often a good clinical indication of possible infection.

The low cost and easy to operate Wahl Fever Alert Imaging System produces a real-time thermal picture of facial skin surface temperature as each person passes by the camera. Its special software triggers both a visual and audible alarm if the temperature reading is above a user predefined threshold. The system also includes a temperature reference source (Black body) that allows the camera to be precisely calibrated prior to and during use.

Efficient and affordable, the Wahl Fever Alert Imaging System is based on the latest detector technology and can resolve surface temperature differences of ±0.5º C. At $10,298.00 for the camera, software and Black Body, it’s an effective screening solution when compared to competitive systems.

Heat Spys Incorporate The Following Sighting Methods

Open Sight
Open sighting simplifies Heat Spy operation and keeps cost low. Spot size increases with distance and must always be smaller than the target size to achieve the instrument’s rated accuracy. Distance to spot size ratios are specified on all open sight Heat Spy models.


Enclosed Optical Sight
This sighting system allows more precise target definition with parallax correction at 4 ft. and 20 ft. Distance to spot size ratios apply and are specified for all Heat Spy’s incorporating enclosed optics.



Telescopic Sight
Some Heat Spy models offer telescopic sighting options for long distance (up to 300 ft.) or precise aiming applications such as bolts, wire, tubing, forgings, and castings. Telescopes provide sighting on the centerline of the infrared optics.


Laser Sight
A high coherence laser aiming beam adds a powerful dimension to precise temperature measurements. The laser places a visible red dot on the center of the target surface. The Heat Spy can be held in any position and at any level. It is especially useful in cramped areas and in
awkward conditions such as standing on ladders and platforms. The laser is very effective indoors under all lighting conditions and useful in low light conditions outdoors. Laser energy from low reflective targets such as painted surfaces or oxidized metals is considered safe
for viewing. All Wahl laser sighting systems meet Federal Safety Regulations. It is important to note that the laser beam is a sighting device only and that the displayed temperature when using a laser equipped Heat Spy is not the reading at the laser spot. The area being measured is always dependent upon the distance to spot size ratio of the Heat Spy.

Heat Spy® General Information

How Does The Heat Spy Work?

All solid objects emit infrared energy above absolute zero. The amount of energy emitted is proportional to the body or target temperature. Wahl’s Heat Spy directs this energy by means of fixed focus optics into a sensitive detector, which is amplified and processed by the micro processor to temperature readings in °F or °C.
It is fast because it collects IR energy at the speed of light, and the detector has a very low mass. The time constant is 0.1 second, about 10 times faster than conventional contact methods.
Measurements are displayed in less than one second. Some Heat Spy’s offer an analog output option of 1mV/deg for recording, while others feature RS232 computer interface.

What Does The Heat Spy Measure?
Temperature at a Distance
You can stand 1 to 40 feet away and conveniently measure temperature of bearings, kiln and furnace walls, locate hot spots in reactor shells, steam piping, and insulation surfaces.
Specialty models can be used up to 300 feet away from your temperature target.

Temperature of Moving Material
Moving materials require two Heat Spy features not available by any other measurement method: non-contact with the process material, and fast measurement of rapidly moving materials. Measure continuously moving solid materials such as plastic film and extrusions, pulp and paper, textiles, rubber, steel sheet, coating, or paint.

Temperature of Small Low Mass Materials
Electronic components or other small or low mass items can be measured with a Heat Spy where a contact thermometer would change the measured condition through heat transfer.

Temperature of Areas Too Hot to Approach Safely
In foundries, forging shops, glass factories, and power plants, Heat Spy’s can allow you to stand away from heat or high voltage to measure temperature up to 5800°F (3200°C).

Temperature of Rough Surfaces
The Heat Spy does not require contact with the target. It measures rough and uneven surfaces and averages temperature readings of the observed target area. It affords users an efficient method of measuring the temperature of granular materials, rough castings, and forgings.

Temperature Requiring Quick Measurement
Opening and closing of injection molding dies requires temperature to be measured in less than 2 seconds. The Heat Spy is ideal for use with rotating machinery - large motor armatures and drive couplings for example.

Heat Spy Emissivity

Emissivity in IR measurement refers to the ability of the measured surface to emit radiation. Surfaces vary in emissivity and this must be taken into account before accurate readings can be obtained. The emissivity ratio represents the amount of radiated energy the measured surface allows to be returned to the instrument. A return of 100% of the energy is measured as 1.0 emissivity. If all the radiated energy is reflected and/or transmitted and none emitted, the emissivity ratio is 0.0. A perfect radiator, such as a black body, has a 1.0 emissivity ratio and a very shiny or highly polished surface has a ratio of 0.2 or lower. Most textured or painted surfaces have an emissivity ratio of around 0.95. Many Heat Spy thermometers feature adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00. Other Heat Spy’s without adjustment are set at 0.95.
