Scan Critical Connections with InSight IR® Portholes from LayerZero

Ensuring the safe and reliable operation of mission-critical equipment is of paramount importance in modern facilities, and preventive maintenance plays a critical role in achieving this objective. To facilitate safer and more efficient preventive maintenance, LayerZero Power Systems has developed INSIGHT IR® Portholes, an innovative solution that helps operators maintain their equipment in top condition.

INSIGHT IR® Portholes are a standard feature in all LayerZero® products, allowing operators to use an infrared thermal camera to scan every bolted connection in the product without opening any dead-front covers. The Portholes are 3 inches in diameter and covered with a metal disk that can be rotated to reveal an IR-transparent grid, providing clear access to the bolted connections. By using INSIGHT IR® Portholes to scan critical connections, operators can obtain accurate readings from every bolted connection, identify potential faults, and address them promptly, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime and significant financial losses.

LayerZero® INSIGHT IR® scan system takes this one step further, incorporating IR-Scan portholes that enable safe thermal scanning of all bolted connections with the deadfront cover closed. The IR window swivels and can be unlocked with key-hole access, allowing operators to safely and quickly scan every connection and obtain readings from every bolted connection, without exposing themselves to live bus.

At LayerZero Power Systems, safety and training are top priorities. The company provides comprehensive training on the proper use of INSIGHT IR® Portholes and thermal imaging procedures through User and Operator Classes. These classes help customers get the most out of the products while ensuring the safe and proper operation of their equipment.

LayerZero® INSIGHT IR® Portholes are crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of mission-critical equipment. To learn more about how INSIGHT IR® Portholes can help you scan critical connections, achieve your mission-critical objectives, and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and significant financial losses, contact LayerZero Power Systems today.
