The Chauvin Arnoux C.A 1954 DiaCAM2 Thermal Imaging Camera (Order Part Number: P01651904) is an advanced non-destructive thermal diagnostic instrument, 100% designed, engineered, and manufactured in the European Union by the Chauvin Arnoux Group – an internationally acclaimed benchmark in electrical test and measurement technology with more than 130 years of metrological expertise. Designed to provide unmatched operational agility, measurement integrity, and field ergonomics, the CA 1954 serves as an indispensable predictive maintenance and building auditing standard for electrical engineers, plant technicians, energy auditors, and industrial facility managers.

At the core of the CA 1954 is an uncooled UFPA microbolometer detector delivering a 160 × 120 pixel thermal resolution (19,200 active measurement points) across the 8 to 14 µm spectral bandwidth, featuring a remarkable thermal sensitivity (NETD) of ≤ 0.08 °C (80 mK) at 30 °C. A core engineering highlight of the DiaCAM2 platform is its wide 38° × 28° optical field of view with full Focus-Free fixed focal optics. Operators can aim at targets from as close as 30 cm up to infinity, capturing sharp, focused thermograms instantly without requiring manual lens adjustments. The camera operates across a temperature measurement span from -20 °C to +250 °C with an accuracy of ±2 °C or ±2% of reading. Thermal profiles are rendered on a high-contrast 2.8-inch LCD display with automatic ambient light dimming, supported by an integrated digital camera featuring automatic parallax compensation for visual-thermal image correlation.

A distinct technological asset of the Chauvin Arnoux CA 1954 is its integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity. This feature enables dual-channel communication: recording voice notes directly into captured thermal files via the supplied Bluetooth headset, while simultaneously pairing with compatible Chauvin Arnoux instrumentation (such as F407 and F607 clamp meters or digital multimeters). This allows instantaneous logging of secondary electrical parameters (current, active power, voltage) or environmental variables directly onto the thermogram. Mechanically robust, the camera incorporates a built-in sliding protective lens shutter, 2-meter drop test resistance, and IP54 dust and splash protection. Supplied with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack delivering a record 9 hours of continuous operation and the CAmReport professional PC software suite for automated Word and PDF reporting, the CA 1954 is the definitive thermal imager for demanding industrial infrastructures.
