Testo 862-1 Pocket Thermal Imaging Camera

The Testo 862-1 Pocket Thermal Imaging Camera is a compact thermal imager designed for HVAC/R work, building inspections, industrial maintenance and facility management. Its 160 x 120 pixel infrared resolution and thermal sensitivity of less than 50 mK at 25 °C help reveal clear temperature patterns during inspection. A 2 MP visual camera and Fusion image mode add visual detail to thermal images, making areas of interest easier to recognise.

Built-in analysis functions help users assess temperature differences quickly in the field. Hot spot and cold spot detection, DeltaHeat, Delta T, five adjustable measurement spots and three regions of interest support practical fault finding and inspection work. The camera also offers automatic reading transfer from the optional testo 605i thermohygrometer and testo 770-3 clamp meter via Bluetooth, allowing humidity or electrical readings to be combined with inspection tasks.

The Testo 862-1 Pocket Thermal Imaging Camera is made for straightforward everyday use, with fixed focus, a 25 Hz image refresh rate and a measurement range from -10 °C to 550 °C. It includes 12 GB of user storage, non-radiometric AVI video recording and several thermal colour palettes. An IP54 housing, 1.5 m impact resistance, rechargeable Li-ion battery and USB-C charging make it practical for regular field use.

 

Key Benefits
  • Compact design supports quick thermal checks across HVAC/R, maintenance and building inspection work.
  • 160 x 120 pixel infrared imaging provides clear thermal detail for locating temperature irregularities.
  • Fusion mode combines thermal and visual information to make temperature patterns easier to interpret.
  • Hot spot, cold spot, DeltaHeat and Delta T functions help speed up inspection and fault-finding tasks.
  • Five adjustable measurement spots and three regions of interest allow closer analysis of selected areas.
  • Bluetooth connection supports automatic transfer from optional testo 605i and testo 770-3 instruments.
  • 12 GB of user storage provides space for thermal images, visual images and recorded AVI video.
  • IP54 protection and 1.5 m impact resistance support regular use in demanding work environments.
  • USB-C charging and an integrated rechargeable battery simplify charging between jobs.

 

Common Applications

Testo 862-1 Pocket Thermal Imaging Camera is suitable for a range of testing, maintenance and inspection tasks, including:

  • HVAC/R system inspections
  • Radiator performance checks
  • Building inspections
  • Building assessments
  • Industrial maintenance inspections
  • Facility management inspections
  • Locating temperature irregularities
  • Humidity-related mould risk assessment using humidity mode
  • Electrical inspection work with optional testo 770-3 readings

 

Why Choose This Model?

The testo 862-1 provides 160 x 120 pixel infrared resolution in the same compact 215 g format as the testo 862-2. It also offers up to 4.0x digital zoom, while retaining the shared thermal measurement, analysis, recording and connectivity functions.
