Professional Applications

HVAC Inspection

Quickly identify thermal inefficiencies, duct leakage, and system performance issues in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The UTi716S helps technicians locate problems that are invisible to the naked eye, such as cooling inefficiencies and poor heat dissipation, making preventive maintenance more effective and targeted.

Mechanical Maintenance

Perform non-destructive inspections of mechanical equipment to detect issues before they cause failures. By analyzing temperature patterns, the UTi716S allows technicians to identify corrosion, leakage, and aging components without disassembling machinery, saving time and preventing costly downtime.

Automotive Diagnostics

Rapidly identify heating issues in automotive systems including engines, electrical components, HVAC systems, and exhaust elements. The camera's temperature visualization capabilities help technicians diagnose problems with heating seats, air conditioners, and engine components, ensuring both performance and safety.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Safely detect overheating electrical connections, load imbalances, and potential failure points in electrical systems. The non-contact measurement method keeps technicians safe while providing critical information about the condition of electrical components and circuits.

Why Choose the UNI-T UTi716S?

Enhanced Image Quality with Super Resolution

The UTi716S features Super Resolution technology that improves image quality by 4×, transforming the native 160×120 resolution (19,200 pixels) to an enhanced 320×240 resolution (76,800 pixels). This improvement reveals finer details and provides clearer thermal images for more accurate diagnosis and documentation of issues.

Innovative T-Mix Fusion Technology

The advanced T-Mix 2.0 auto-adaptive dual-light image fusion algorithm automatically aligns thermal and visual images regardless of measurement distance. With a simple press of the "UP" button, the system injects visible details into thermal images without reducing transparency or weakening image quality, making it easier to identify and communicate findings.

Comprehensive Alarm System

The triple-mode alarm system provides immediate notification when temperatures exceed preset thresholds. LCD animation visually highlights problem areas, while LED flashlight and buzzer alerts ensure you're aware of critical temperature issues even in noisy or visually distracting environments. This multi-sensory feedback helps prevent overlooking potential hazards.

Practical Design for Real-World Use

With its straightforward 4-button interface, compact size, and durable construction, the UTi716S is designed for practical field use. The extended battery life provides over 6 hours of continuous operation, while the IP54 rating and 2-meter drop resistance ensure reliability in demanding work environments.

Complete Analysis Capabilities

Beyond on-device analysis, the included PC software extends the UTi716S's capabilities with photo browsing, secondary editing, comprehensive data analysis, and professional report generation. Reports can be exported in PDF and CSV formats, making documentation and communication of findings simple and professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between standard imaging and super resolution?

Super resolution is an image enhancement technology that improves thermal image quality by 4×, increasing the effective resolution from 160×120 (19,200 pixels) to 320×240 (76,800 pixels). This enhancement reveals finer details and provides clearer thermal patterns, allowing for more accurate diagnosis of issues. The super resolution function is available through the included PC analysis software.

How does the T-Mix fusion technology help with inspections?

T-Mix 2.0 technology intelligently blends thermal and visible images to create a composite view that shows temperature patterns with recognizable visual details. This makes it easier to precisely locate and identify issues, as you can see both the thermal anomaly and the actual component or area affected. The auto-adaptive algorithm automatically aligns images regardless of distance, activated with a simple press of the "UP" button.

What is the purpose of the various color palettes?

Different color palettes highlight thermal patterns in ways that can make certain issues more apparent. For example, "Ironbow" often makes it easier to identify temperature gradients in mechanical applications, while "White Hot" or "Black Hot" can be better for finding the hottest or coldest spots quickly. The UTi716S includes seven palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Ironbow, Lava, Rainbow, Rainbow HC) to provide options for different inspection scenarios.

How long does the battery last, and how is it charged?

The UTi716S features a 2600mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery that provides 6 or more hours of continuous operation on a full charge. The camera is charged via the included Type-C USB cable, which can be connected to a standard USB charger or computer USB port. This extended battery life ensures you can complete a full day of inspections without interruption.

Can I customize the temperature alarms for different applications?

Yes, the high and low temperature alarms can be customized to trigger at specific threshold values appropriate for your application. When temperatures exceed these preset thresholds, the camera will alert you through three methods: LCD animation (visual indication on screen), LED flashlight alerts, and audible buzzer sounds. This multi-sensory alarm system ensures you won't miss critical temperature excursions.
