ZH480 Portable Corona Detection Camera — UV+VIS Dual F.O.V. Lens
The ZH480 from UVIRSYS is a professional-grade, portable bi-spectral (UV+VIS) corona detection camera featuring an innovative built-in dual field-of-view (F.O.V.) lens system. It delivers exceptional versatility, efficiency, and precision for predictive and preventive maintenance of high-voltage electrical equipment — without ever swapping lenses in the field.
Imagine completing a full substation sweep and a distant transmission line inspection in a single outing, with one lightweight 1.8 kg camera in hand. That’s the ZH480 advantage.
Dual F.O.V. Lens — One Camera, Two Perspectives
Traditional UV corona cameras force you to choose between wide-angle and telephoto optics. The ZH480 eliminates that tradeoff with a single integrated dual F.O.V. lens, switchable instantly via the on-screen menu:
- Wide-Angle (13.3° × 10.6°): Increases inspection area by up to 4× at the same distance — ideal for bushings, insulators, and switchgear.
- Telephoto (5° × 3.75°): Sharp, detailed imaging of distant targets — transmission lines, towers, and wind turbine blades.
Superior UV + VIS Performance
- Solar-Blind UV Detection: 240–280 nm spectral range with high-precision cutoff filter — accurate corona detection in full daylight, zero solar interference.
- Overlay Accuracy: 0.5 mrad UV+VIS image fusion for precise defect localization.
- Photon Counting: Up to 5 counting boxes for quantitative discharge intensity analysis — single or multi-area.
- Display Modes: UV+VIS combined, UV only, or VIS only on a 5″ sunlight-readable transflective LCD.
- Recording: High-quality image and MP4 video capture with embedded data for professional reporting.
