Thermography Assessment Service
The PTS Thermography Assessment Service uses infrared thermography to analyze the
condition of your data center or computer room's support infrastructure. It may be purchased as a standalone
service, or integrated into a regular maintenance program. PTS will supply you with a detailed assessment,
enabling you to manage your facilities support infrastructure for optimum performance, extend the life of
your critical support infrastructure, and ensure the highest level of system availability.
The PTS Thermography Assessment Service uses a digital infrared thermography camera that captures the
integrity of the electrical infrastructure in your data center. PTS' professional service technicians will
visit the site and collect data pertaining to:
q Condition of the power equipment
q Electrical infrastructure visual inspection
q Equipment maintenance records
The Thermography Assessment is intended to provide a baseline for maintaining the electrical
infrastructure equipment to improve reliability and prevent unplanned downtime. With this data,
PTS will develop a comprehensive report that will include:
q Identify excessively hot terminals on critical
support infrastructure
q Recommend possible courses of further investigation or corrective action
q Compare results from prior reports to identify equipment terminal
temperature trends
