The portable, handheld Ofil Superb-OD & Superb-XD are corona and arcing recording cameras made for daytime use. The Superb models are solar blind bispectral UV-Visible imagers with high sensitivity to surface partial discharges that differ in their display unit. Each model detects UV emissions in complete daylight with high signal to background ratios, from both far-away and nearby sources. These cameras are very robust and powerful ultraviolet emission detectors.
Superb cameras come with DayCor® technology embedded in the units and they are benchmarked to guarantee accuracy for your measurement of coronas. Superb models are critical tools in the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry used for inspecting & monitoring high and medium voltage apparatuses.
Industries that leverage the patented DayCor® technology and imagery provided by Superb cameras include:
Any industry needing to ensure environments are corona free will find these cameras indispensable.
HIGHLY SENSITIVE UV DETECTION
Superb detects UV radiation of corona emissions as weak as 1pC at a distance of 10m and 7.7dBμV (RIV) @ 1MHz, and show both the signals and their emitting sources overlapped precisely with measurements of corona strength.
ACCURATE CORONA PINPOINTING
The lenses that come with the Superb models are powerful and have zooming capabilities so they can pinpoint corona on distant or near-by objects. Superbs are ideal for inspecting overhead transmission and distribution lines and substations.
EASY TO USE
You operate Superbs through a keyboard and user-based on-screen selections. The interface is straightforward and intuitive.
RECORDING & STORAGE BUILT-IN
Superbs record, store and play back high-resolution video clips with voice annotations, in addition to still images. Images and recordings are stored on a removable compact flash card. Media is both NTSC and PAL compatible.
RUGGED
Superb is a heavy-duty camera system designed for harsh environments and extreme weather conditions.
ERGONOMIC
Superb is ergonomically designed to enable you to use it for long, continuous inspection timeframes. The cameras come with comfortable harnesses that distribute their weight evenly to allow for long inspection periods without straining your hands, eyes or back.
SINGLE USE AND TEAMWORK
The transflective 5” (OD model) or 6.5” (XD model) comes with an adjustable bright color LCD that is ideal for outdoor inspections. Sharing images with team members is a simple and painless process. The LCD screen has been designed for use in hazardous environments.
