New Portable, Water-Cooled, FireSight® Diagnostic System Allows Real-Time, Video Inspection of High-Temperature Processes



Trevose, PA, October 2009 - Lenox Instrument Company's new water-cooled, Portable FireSight® Diagnostic System is the easiest and most economical means to view and record real-time color video images of combustion and other high-temperature processes in furnaces, kilns and incinerators. With this boiler camera, furnace camera, mobile system, operators can use one unit for diagnostics, testing, monitoring and recording of several individual furnace functions, operating at any level, and using any available 2-1/8 inch (54.0 mm) opening.

The water-cooled, FireSight® Diagnostic System is entirely self-contained, consisting of an air purge filtration and power system and 8-inch CCD color monitor packaged in a durable case with telescoping handle and wheels. The system's water-cooled FireSight® furnace lens assembly comes in standard lengths of 24-inch or 36-inch with special lengths available up to 120 inches, in either direct or right-angle view configurations and is capable of operating trouble-free in temperatures up to 3,800°F (2,093°C). An optional mini-digital video recorder for documentation is also available.

FireSight® Diagnostic Systems provide the highest color image clarity in the industry. The system's light volume control, a Lenox exclusive, allows the operator to easily adjust the amount of light transmitted to the camera, eliminating the bloom common with other systems and ensuring a high-resolution, color image from initial light off to maximum load.
