Designed around NFPA70E requirements and exposed to extensive arc-fault testing to both ANSI and IEEE Standards the UL Recognized, Hawk IR Sightglass C-Range, not only helps prevent arc-fault triggers from occurring but can also protect your personnel from arc-blast injury should it occur.
Utilizing a toughened crystal optic known as CLIRVU, Hawk IR Sightglass "C-Range" can withstand arc-fault events in excess of 38kA (38,000A) without failure, maximizing worker safety.
The CLIVU coated optic holds a lifetime warranty against moisture degradation and is totally flexible, operating with all IR cameras on the market today.
Importantly the C-Range IR Sightglass allows full use of both INFRARED and VISUAL capabilities built into many infrared cameras.
For systems with low incident energy levels, Hawk IR International also provide a UL Recognized IR Port design.
Allowing operation with any IR camera, the IR port makes use of a series of small - 1/4" (fingerproof) - holes which allow infrared to pass to the camera.
The IR Ports offer significantly less protection than IR Sightglasses but can provide a cost effective means of infrared scanning where the flash hazard risk is low. Request a free brochure from Hawk IR International ...
