  • Page 5: Description

    Thank you for choosing the optris PI LightWeight Kit! The optris PI LightWeight Kit consists of a miniaturized lightweight PC (PI NetBox LW) and a weight- optimized optris PI400 LW or PI450 LW infrared camera. With 380 g the system is ideally suited for radiometric infrared recordings from the air like for maintenance work and quality inspections of solar and wind power systems and for building thermography.

  • Page 6: Important Notes

    Important Notes  The optris PI is a precise instrument and contains a sensitive infrared detector and a high- quality lens. The alignment of the camera to intensive energy sources (high power laser or reflections of such equipment, e.g.) can have effect on the accuracy of the measurement or can cause an irreparable defect of the infrared detector.
