For proto teams in mine disasters

The limitation of sight and light in the mine, especially during power failures and mine disasters, makes it necessary to have an instrument capable of locating thermal heat radiated by humans. This will enable proto teams to track and locate humans in the event of a disaster/power failure when they are unable to indicate or communicate their location.

After investigation and trials by Jewll, the thermal observation tool has been proven capable of meeting the need in mines to be able to locate humans in such unusual situations. This unit can now be used in coal mines due to its certification which renders it suitable for use in hazardous environments.

This magnificent compact, lightweight thermal observation tool, namely the LTO-Tracker, is powered by a CR123 lithium battery and is 14.2 cm long, weighing around 280 g. It stands out as a compact lightweight compared to standard thermal devices used in the industry.

The LTO-Tracker also comes with a digital 6 x zoom facility, a 21⁰ angle of vision, a heat sensor with a resolution of 206 x 156, a high fast-frame image frequency of 30 Hertz and six selectable colour palettes.

The manufacturer claims an operating range of up 549 m.

After switching it on, the LTO-Tracker is fired up and ready to go within three seconds. The round ocular has a diameter of 30 mm and a display resolution of 240 x 204 pixels.
