The CAP-4-US

THE CAP-4-US

A Multi-Technology Approach to Energized Electrical Inspections

The CAP-4-US infrared window equipped with a versatile port for ultrasound inspections is the ideal way to identify electrical faults. Industrial applications require solutions that meet numerous criteria where safety and performance are of the upmost importance. To accommodate this demand, IRISS took their transparent, CAP-CT-4 and opaque, CAP-C-4, and added the benefits of ultrasound (US) inspection to the window. The award-winning, CAP-4-US comes equipped with a square 4” IR window and an US port both on one easy-to-install panel. The viewing area of the CAP-4-US offers a 30% increase in FOV over round windows but also provides a method for accessing quality acoustics data that easily identifies potentially hazardous faults such as arcing, tracking and corona in electrical distribution systems and switchgear.

Integrated Ultrasound Inspection Port
Airborne Ultrasound can be used to detect signs of arcing, tracking and corona in electrical equipment. The built-in Ultrasound Inspection port in the CAP-4-US allows you to listen for these symptoms of potential problems in your critical assets and helps to insure the truest form of the emission can be record with minimal Diffraction and are more effective than scanning the seam on enclosed systems and for hermetically sealed cabinets.

Fixed and Stable Transmission
Polymer based infrared windows are unaffected by the environmental and mechanical stresses that degrade the transmission of crystal based IR windows which are fragile and hygroscopic (even when coated). The polymer IR window systems will maintain fixed and stable transmission (FAST) for the life of the installation ensuring that the temperature data collected through the IR window is accurate and reliable for the whole life of the installation.

Arc Containment Tested
The CAP-4-US was successfully tested to the IEC 62271-200 standard for arc containment on metal enclosed switchgear assemblies. In addition, the CAP-4-US have been used extensively by OEMs in UL Arc Resistant switchgear designs and have successfully passed every Arc Resistant type test to which they have been subjected.

Durable and Rugged
Polymer based IR windows are far more able to resist the mechanical stresses applied to IR window that are fitted to electrical distribution equipment. It was IRISS that first came to market with industrial grade IR windows that could meet the mandatory impact and load testing requirements of UL, CSA, IEEE, IEC, CE testing that could never be passed by any crystal based IR window.

Customizable
There is no such thing as a standard IR inspection so why should there only be a standard IR Window? IRISS is the only IR window manufacturer with solutions for unique applications. The patented IRISS reinforced optic is flexible and can be manufactured in an infinite number of shapes and sizes ensuring that the CAP-4-US IR window meets your needs and applications.

Any Camera – Any Task
The exclusive industrial-grade, reinforced polymer optic allows any thermographic camera to monitor completely undisturbed assets inside electrical equipment. The IRISS Polymer optics work with all ranges of Infrared, Ultraviolet and Visual Inspection Cameras.
Tested and Certified to The Highest Industry Standards
IRISS IR windows are the most certified windows in the industry with IEEE (impact & load), UL, cUL, Lloyds, CSA 22.2 14-13 for industrial control equipment. Our marine certifications are Lloyds, DNV and ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) credentials. IRISS IR windows are also arc tested to IEC 62271-200 Arc Flash Spec test 1.1 Second Duration, IEC 60262271-200: 63kA, IEC 60298 Appendix: 63kA, IEEE C37.20.7 Type 2B: 63kA

E Sentry Connect Asset Management
The E Sentry Connect ™ is our next generation intuitive asset information tagging system. The E Sentry Connect system utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) contactless Smart Card technology that allows smart phone devices with NFC to easily access critical data relating to the equipment being inspected and save up-to-date inspection data directly to the assets E Sentry Connect tag via a free App from IRISS.

Proudly Made in the United States
IRISS manufactures and assembles all products at our global headquarters located in Bradenton, FL.

Protected by our Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
The IRISS Unconditional lifetime warranty is unique in the IR industry as it not only applies not only to the workmanship of the window housing but also applies to the durability and stability of the optic in the proposed environment. No other manufacturer can offer this because crystal optics will fail over time, and are only able to at best offer a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects.
