VP-12-IR Series

Because Sometimes a Smaller Infrared Window Is All You Need

The VP-12-IR’s 12mm viewing area was designed for tight areas or for use with infrared (IR) cameras with smaller, wider-angle lens systems. While the VP-12-IR is small in size, it is still big in features. The polymer lens material and switchgear grade plastics assure compliance by maintaining an IP65/NEMA 4 seal, whether open or closed. With the smaller footprint of the VP-12-IR, it could be the answer for providing thermographers access to more challenging areas. This will allow monitoring of equipment that would not have been possible with a larger window. The durability, flexibility and proven transmission stability of IRISS polymer IR windows continue with the VP-12-IR.

Arc Safety Tested

Successfully tested to the IEC 62271-200 standard for arc containment on metal enclosed switchgear assemblies to help protect workers from injury/fatality.

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.

UL Listed

Having passed rigorous standards and testing, our inspection windows are UL Listed (E491496). This demonstrates our dedication to continued safety and security in the ever-changing world of electrical power.
