During operation, the imager must not be pointed at the sun or
other intensive sources of radiation (e.g. objects with temperatures
greater than 550°C/1022°F, if using the high-temperature
measurement range 1400°C/2552°F). This can lead to serious
damage to the detector. The manufacturer assumes no liability for
any such damage to the microbolometer detector.

The testo 885 is a handy and robust thermal imager. It enables you
to carry out contactless determination and display of the
temperature distribution on surfaces.
Typical areas of application are:
•Building inspection: energetic assessment of buildings, and
inspection of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
•Preventative maintenance (servicing): mechanical and electrical
inspection of systems, machines and energy distribution
systems
•Production monitoring (quality assurance): monitoring of
production processes
•Professional energy consultation, leak detection
•Checking of photovoltaic modules
The testo 885 is available in several versions, which are tailored to
various usage requirements:
•testo 885-1: high-quality wide angle lens 30° x 23, detector 320
x 240, NETD < 30 mK at 30°C, 2GB SD card for approx. 2000
to 3000 images, SuperResolution with 640 x 480 pixels
(optional), minimum focusing distance 0.1 m, touchscreen, built-
in digital imager with power LEDs for illumination, auto-focus,
isotherm, min/max/avg on area, image stitching wizard, laser
(not available in all countries), rotatable handle, rotatable and
pivoting display
•testo 885-2, additional/different functions/features: telephoto
lens (optional), super-telephoto lens (optional), display of
surface moisture distribution via manual input of the ambient
conditions (optional: humidity measurement in real time with
radio humidity probe), SiteRecognition (site recognition with
image management), voice recording, high temperature
measurement (optional), process analysis package - sequence
capturing in the camera and video measurement on the PC
(optional)
Export control
Thermal imagers may be subject to the export restrictions of the
European Union.
