I solved now the power supply issues on my Ti45 thermal camera.
But now I need the content of the "internal SD-card" to boot the system up.
( I got the camera without the SD-card .....
)
Can somebody please help here Thanks
I believe I have the files somewhere from when I had to replace a blown tantalum capacitor. Let me have a look. I assume it's for the SD card in the image attached?
I have attached what I think are the files I took off that internal SD card. This was back in 2015, so I don't know if this is all of the files. It is from a TiR3 I fixed.
Hi Chanc3
First of all BIG THANKS for your help.
I just copied the files on a SD-Drive an tired it on my Hardware.
unfortunately it did not work,.....
Do you possibly know if I should see any "boot activity on the screen" without the SD-Card.
Do I need a WIN-CE image on the SD-Card
Would be great if somebody can answer !

In your position I would ask FLUKE support if the SD card is available pre-programmed as a spare part. You could also ask if its presence is required for the camera to boot. FLUKE can be quite helpful if you get the right tech answering your questions.

I tried it at the Fluke support, but it seems, that I didn't get the right tech support, to help me. ...

Keep trying, they can't all be bad hair day phone gods

An issue that you may run into is the fact that FLUKE do not actually make the Thermal Cameras. They bought in the technology and also bought Raytek.
In such cases it can be hard to find the right person within a large organisation who has the required knowledge to help. With 'bought in' technology it is often not possible to obtain internal spare parts. I have a suspicion the Ti45 was a 'bought in' model.

Thanks all so far,
can anyone give me the the original “Fluke part #” of this SD-Card which I need for the TI-45
that I can try to get it via the original FLUKE service !
THANKS !! Max
i have the SD card content and i need part number of U7!
Good work Ali,
Hopefully Medmax can return the favour with the U7 identity information you need
Fraser
Hi Ali,
did a short look yesterday into the electronic to identify the U7.
I found there the Marking
AAY on the chip.
Then I found the following types with marking AAY in my SMD Marking list.
I hope this helps !!
( .... had no futher time to check the SD-content, will give you feedback on that later !! )
KR Max
Hi Ali
Here the requested PIC of the U7 orientation !
Dear MedMax. Did you repaired your camera? Does it working now? Thanks
Dear mai pham,
yes,
after several deep investigations in the electronic, i got it repaired !

I have the opportunity to get a Fluke TiR4FT camera "like new" for pennies, but I understand it is limited to -4°F to 212°F (-20 to 100 °Celsius).
I was planning to use it in an industrial environment (electrical cabinets, motors, ball bearings etc.), can I use it for temperatures above 212°F?
I just want to get an estimate reading, I have no problem with it not being CALIBRATED outside of that range, but can it discern temperatures
outside that range?
Thank you!
Razvan_N,
I own a few Fluke thermal imaging cameras. Sadly the specified temperature boundaries are hard limits and temperatures above 100C will just show as the highest colour in the particular colour pallet that you are using. Thermal imaging cameras will normally have a “high sensitivity” range that extends from something like -20C to +120C. In order to measure higher than +120C (in this example) a lower sensitivity range is used. The lower sensitivity range uses different microbolometer bias settings and calibration tables to that of the high sensitivity range. The low sensitivity range is often able to cover 0C to 650C maximum but top ends are commonly less than this in budget cameras. +450C or +550C is not uncommon.
You cannot enable a low sensitivity range on a Fluke thermal imaging camera that has only the high sensitivity range, unless you hack it and create any missing calibration tables. Not something I can assist with as the fluke cameras have not been reverse engineered in the same way that FLIR cameras have.
There are tricks to lower a cameras sensitivity to enable it to image targets of higher temperature than would normally be possible, but that is very much a case of trial and error using different plastic films, thin glass, silicon windows or partially mirrored CO2 10.6um laser windows. Measurement accuracy of any sort is pretty much lost using this method however (you would need to know the attenuators transmission loss across the LWIR band to calculate the measurement correction required)
Hope this helps

Do you think this camera would be useful for my scope? Industrial machines, overheating bearings, motors, that kind of stuff?
Mostly in the ropeway industry. I believe I would be able to see a slightly warm sheave bearing on a tower (from the maintenance
platform near the sheave assembly), but what about overheating motors and so on?
Do you have experience with electrical things that would function normally above 100 deg Celsius? Because I won't be able to tell
if they work properly or are overheated.
Sorry, that is not my Industry so I cannot advise.
