CAP-CT Series

No Other Infrared Window is as Versatile as the CAP-CT

The CAP-CT Series has the largest visually clear infrared (IR) transmissive viewing area available. The exclusive pharmaceutical-grade reinforced Poly-View System™ polymer allows any thermography camera to monitor completely undisturbed assets inside energized electrical equipment in the visual, UV and shortwave, midwave and longwave IR spectrums. The larger rectangular viewing area provides an unparalleled field of view when compared to traditional round IR windows. The CAP-CT offers locking covers for your IR window. These are useful in areas of high traffic and protect the IR viewing panes from impacts, flying debris and dust. Constructed from aluminum, the CAP-CT series is recommended for all indoor applications.

Unparalleled Field of View

Unlike the round infrared windows the large format IRISS CAP-CT Series and custom infrared windows have a far superior field of view. The CAP-CT 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-CT Series are now UL Listed replacement components (UL File E 491496). The CAP-CT Series has an oversize Field of View (FOV) giving the thermographer infinite viewing angles within the bus system.

Features

Durable and Rugged

Polymer based IR windows are far more able to resist the mechanical stresses applied to IR window that are fitted to electrical distribution equipment. It was IRISS that first came to market with industrial grade IR windows that could meet the mandatory impact and load testing requirements of UL, CSA, IEEE, IEC, CE testing that could never be passed by any crystal based IR window.

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

Section Image

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.
