CAP-ENV-PD Series

The Toughest and Most Reliable Infrared and Ultrasound Window

The CAP-ENV-PD features a reinforced environmentally sealed door design while also providing a large visually clear infrared (IR) transmissive viewing area. The CAP-ENV-PD also comes equipped with a versatile port for ultrasound inspections – an ideal way to identify electrical faults. Initially developed for MV transformer and switchgear applications, the CAP-ENV-PD is a perfect combination solution for medium and high voltage applications where both IR and Ultrasound inspections are desired.

Unparalleled Field of View

Unlike the round infrared windows the large format IRISS CAP-ENV-PD Series and custom infrared windows have a far superior field of view. The CAP-ENV-PD Series has a large FOV which gives the thermographer the ability of infinite viewing angles inside the switchgear.

Customizable

There is no such thing as a standard IR inspection so why should there only be a standard IR Window? IRISS is the only IR window manufacturer with solutions for unique applications.

UL Listed

Large format replacement panels like the CAP-ENV-PD Series are now UL Listed replacement components (UL File E 491496). The CAP-ENV-PD Series has an oversize Field of View (FOV) giving the thermographer infinite viewing angles within the bus system.

Features

Unconditional Lifetime Warranty

The IRISS Unconditional lifetime warranty is unique in the IR industry as it not only applies not only to the workmanship of the window housing but also applies to the durability and stability of the optic in the proposed environment. No other manufacturer can offer this because crystal optics will fail over time, and are only able to at best offer a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects.

Fixed and Stable Transmission

The polymer IR window systems will maintain fixed and stable transmission (FAST) for the life of the installation ensuring that the temperature data collected through the IR window is accurate and reliable for the whole life of the installation.

Fast and Easy Installation

Following a few simple instructions, IRISS inspection windows can be quickly installed on switchgear and MCC panel covers, as well as transformers and other electrical equipment. Each window comes with an installation guide, as well as links to installation videos.
