On-Site Infrared Surveys
Our on-site Infrared Survey support services have been specifically designed to keep your systems performing with minimal downtime for the long-term.
Depending on your assets, it is very important to monitor their temperatures on a monthly and/or quarterly basis.
Lumasense Technologies, Inc. can schedule to have an experienced and dedicated Field Service Engineer (FSE) come out to your site to inspect various components and provide a formal report of all findings.
Using handheld infrared thermal imaging cameras, our FSE will examine all the components of your site for hot spots and electrical defects. The formal report provided includes pictures, observations, and recommendations.
-
Avoid unplanned downtime
-
Prevent increased repair costs from avoidable damage
-
Reduce personal safety risks
For scheduling this service, or for more information, contact our Customer Care Team.
Monthly Service Schedule
Rectifiers
The rectifier building contains the “trees” of fuses / diodes. The Fuse/Diode assemblies are viewed with the infrared camera (through infrared window ports) to monitor their temperature. It’s very important to monitor the temperature of these assemblies on a monthly basis to prevent unplanned shut downs of the cell line.
A report is generated that documents all of the fuse/diode assemblies. All assemblies that exceed 90 °C are highlighted on the report.

Quarterly Service Schedule
Master Yard
On a quarterly basis, it is recommended that an infrared survey is performed on the plants main electrical Master Yard or Substation.
A report is generated that documents all hot spots found during this survey. There is no pre-determined cutoff temperature for hot spots in the Master Yard. Anything that is deemed out of the ordinary is documented.
Annual Service Schedule
Motor Control Center
On an annual basis, it is recommended that an infrared survey is performed on all electrical Motor Control Centers (MCC’s) throughout the facility.
A report is generated that documents all hot spots found during this survey. Detection of hot spots on electrical switchgear, motor starters, breakers, etc., can prevent fires or equipment overheating to failure, both of which could potentially cause plant down time.
