The FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager is a sensitive, simple-to-use, safety-optimised sonic imager designed for pinpointing partial discharge (PD). A perfect condition monitoring tool for the electric, power, and utilities industries, the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager is designed to make maintenance managers’, substation managers’, reliability specialists’, and thermographers’ jobs easier and quicker.

New Features

Building on the success of its predecessor, the FLIR Si124-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager, the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager can detect partial discharge faults thirty times smaller than previously possible and from a safe distance of 200m away from the issue. In addition to this, it includes the following new features:

• 12MP digital camera
• 8x digital zoom
• 1280 x 720px, 5-inch colour screen
• Identify, classify, and assess the severity of PD
• Built-in LED lights
• Fleet Management functionality

Advanced Partial Discharge Detection

124 microphones strategically arranged for high performance, combined with a 12MP digital camera, and 8x digital zoom, ensure the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager can locate and classify PD faults, as well as assess the severity of these defects from up to 200m (656 ft). Such a long detection range not only enables the identification of tricky-to-access issues but also ensures staff are kept safe when surveying dangerous equipment. 

One-handed operation and automatic tuning add to the ease and efficiency of the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager, maximising inspection productivity.

Comprehensive Analysis Tools

The FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager offers best-in-class decision support due to on-camera and software-based severity assessment of partial discharge issues and PD classification. It also provides recommended actions aiding in swift decision-making and suitable response/repair planning. Again, this improves the simplicity and speed of maintenance inspections.

Fleet Management Functionality

Support for Cloud data integration and OTA software means the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager can accommodate enterprise scaling, allowing managers to ensure tools are being used and maintained correctly.

Applications

As a result of its sophisticated yet simple-to-use design and PD optimisation, the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager is perfect for:

• Monitoring transmission and distribution conductors/components, reducing the need for repairs
• Inspecting substation transformers to identify PD issues before they develop further, potentially resulting in dangerous and costly explosions
• Finding PD in high voltage equipment, which can have the advantage of reducing public complaints about radio interference and noise

A powerful and practical ultrasonic imager, the FLIR Si2-PD Industrial Acoustic Imager empowers you to make precise maintenance decisions, save money, protect the public, and prevent downtime.
