The thermal imager in maintenance: Everything reliably in view

Detect even the smallest defects at an early stage

  • See 4 times more with testo SuperResolution
  • Better thermal images with more details
Standard thermal image: 320 x 240 pixels

testo SuperResolution thermal image: 640 x 480 pixels

  • Uses the natural movement of the hand
  • Assembles five slightly offset images into one image
  • Real temperature values

Available in the image saved in the gallery and in the analysis software testo IRSoft.

Better thermography with ergonomic design and large display

Thermal imagers in pistol design can be conveniently operated with just one hand.
All Testo thermal imagers have a large display with modern tile optics and speed dial button. In the testo 883, also with touchscreen. This means that thermal anomalies can be identified immediately at a glance.

With these assistance functions your thermal images will succeed

The distance assistant

  • Shows which measurement object can be correctly measured at which distance.
  • This ensures that surrounding objects do not falsify the temperature of the measurement object

The laser marker

  • Shows in the imager display exactly the temperature of the spot the laser is currently pointing at
  • Avoids parallax-related measurement errors for more reliability when measuring

The automatic hot and cold spot display

  • Automatic display of the hottest/coldest measurement point
  • Identify thermal anomalies immediately at a glance

Clear measurement point management: testo SiteRecognition

testo SiteRecognition
  • For recurring measurement of similar measurement objects
  • Detects objects and automatically assigns thermal images correctly
  • Prevents thermal image confusion, saving time by eliminating manual image mapping.

Uninterrupted digital documentation of measurements

testo Thermography App – smart and connected

  • Share thermal images with colleagues/customers
  • Remote control via smartphone/tablet
  • Fast analysis of thermal images
  • Easy documentation on site
  • Free download for iOS and Android

Electrical maintenance with thermal imagers

Malfunctions in electrical systems are often heralded by temperature rises. With a thermal imager, you can detect them immediately and plan repairs before costly failures occur.

Your advantages with Testo

A Testo thermal imager integrates the measured values of the testo 770-3 clamp meter, allowing you to see power, current and voltage values in the thermal image.


Thermal heating also usually precedes a fault in high- and medium-voltage systems such as substations and overhead lines.

With an infrared camera, you can detect and evaluate these anomalies to plan maintenance actions before power interruptions occur.

Your advantages with Testo

With the SuperTele lens of our cameras, you can conveniently thermograph measuring points that are difficult to access.

Mechanical maintenance with thermal imagers

For mechanical components, heat generation is a sure indication of:

  • Increasing wear
  • Lack of lubricants
  • Excessive load


You can detect these risk factors with a thermal imager without contact, during operation and from a safe distance.
Tip: Infrared measurement also supports you in filling-level control.

Your advantages with Testo

testo SiteRecognition automatically assigns thermal images to the correct measurement objects. Ideal for inspection tours with many similar measurement objects.


In high-temperature plants in the metal, chemical and building materials industries, thermography is used not only for preventive maintenance but also for product quality control.

Your advantages with Testo

  • Thermal images up to 1200 °C
  • Panorama image assistant for complete images of large installations
