Inspection is semiautomatic, letting operators the option to configure preset shooting positions and profiles and control recording. DayCor® Ranger HD is remotely controlled by the operator who sits inside the vehicle. The detecting unit is mounted either on the vehicle roof or elsewhere, depending on the desired viewing angle. Throughout its operation the system streams out high-resolution video that is displayed on a remote monitor in the car and records video clips of corona findings.
Ofil offers 2 models of Ranger: Ranger UV which provides for corona detection, and Ranger MS which provides for corona detection and other technologies, based on customers’ request. Additionally, Ofil offer customization and tailoring the system to specific requirements.
DayCor® Ranger HD is a premium inspection solution for driven practices with a selection of optical sensors in a stabilized pan-tilt-zoom mount. Ranger is instrumental to scan extended long overhead lines with right of way. The system supports preset profiles configuration to accelerate response time to the fast-changing scenes. High sensitivity and on-the-fly real-time imaging, that does not involve processing, ensure reliable comprehensive results.
Freezing or sizzling outside, stay in your airconditioned truck and let the DayCor® Ranger provide. Turn on the system and start inspecting. If there is corona DayCor® will catch it for you, stream it to your monitor and store it onto the memory card. The hi-resolution recorded video clips will help you prognose the inspected grid elements and help you generate the expected summarizing reports.
It is all about partial discharge. All it takes is a local distortion of the electrical field that stresses the air and triggers PD, hence there is a limit to what air can endure. Unless you are a Reindeer or a bee, only with a DayCor® you will be able to see. Corona is UV and DayCor® is a UV technology. DayCor® Ranger is a camera system that leads inspectors to the locally discharged corona revealing thereby electrical, architectural and mechanical faults. Never say there is no corona, simply because corona is there but it must be discovered.
“.. SDG&E purchased a daytime corona camera to improve patrol reliability. The corona camera also effectively identifies insulator contamination caused by salt deposits. The thermographer combines the corona camera with the infrared camera on the pan/tilt head on the roof of the van. By using this corona technology, inspectors are able to identify areas of concern and investigate the components to determine if their life expectancy has been compromised. To further identify components compromised by corona, SDG&E invested in a gimbal that has a corona camera and mounted it on the helicopter..”
