IRISS VP Series Infrared Windows

An evolutionary step in infrared (IR) windows, the Platinum Series VPT utilizes our exclusive Poly-View System™ technology to allow the use of any thermography camera to monitor energized electrical equipment. The world’s only clear polymer IR window optic enables visual inspections, traditional IR inspections utilizing cameras across the entire IR spectrum and allows for UV inspections to be performed with a corona camera. The Platinum Series VPT IR windows are industrial grade with a patented reinforced grill that exceeds high voltage switchgear viewing pane standards.

VPFC Series (Viewing Pane Fixed Crystal) IR windows are specially coated to reduce the transmission drift due to moisture/humidity. However, industrial users are strongly encouraged to investigate the VPT Series of industrial-grade IR windows which are specifically designed for stability in harsh industrial environments and have an unconditional lifetime warranty. The transmission rate characteristics of CaF2 are suitable for higher temperature applications, shortwave and midwave thermography and for the visual spectrum. Medium to longwave transmission rates (7-14 micron) are typically between 40-50% based on the infrared (IR) camera detector sensitivities at different wavelengths.

The VP-12-IR’s 12mm viewing area was designed for tight areas or for use with infrared (IR) cameras with smaller, wider angle lens systems. While the VP-12-IR is small in size, it is still big on features. The polymer lens material and switchgear grade plastics assures compliance by maintaining an IP65/NEMA 4 seal whether open or closed. With the smaller footprint of the VP-12-IR, it could be the answer for providing a thermographer access to more challenging areas. This will allow monitoring of equipment that would not have been possible with a larger window. The durability, flexibility and proven transmission stability of IRISS polymer IR windows continues with the VP-12-IR.
