Learning Objectives

• Master infrared camera controls and settings to capture precise temperature readings. Apply emissivity and reflected temperature corrections to ensure your measurements are spot-on. You'll move beyond basic operation to get truly accurate thermal data.
• Design and implement infrared inspection programs across electrical, mechanical, and building systems. Prioritize inspections based on risk factors and follow clear procedures to catch problems before they cause failures.
• Spot and decode thermal patterns that reveal equipment problems. Recognize the heat signatures of loose connections, overloaded circuits, and failing bearings before they cause costly breakdowns.
• Follow safety protocols when conducting infrared inspections near energized equipment and in confined spaces. Wear proper PPE, maintain safe distances, and never work alone. These precautions prevent serious injuries and ensure compliance with electrical safety standards.
• Conduct field thermography surveys hands-on and create professional reports that prioritize recommendations. You'll learn to identify critical issues and rank them by urgency, helping clients make informed decisions about necessary repairs.
• Process and analyze thermal images to track equipment conditions over time. Use specialized software to document findings and spot trends before problems occur.
