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:
- Condition of the power equipment
- Electrical infrastructure visual inspection
- 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:
- Identify excessively hot terminals on critical support infrastructure
- Recommend possible courses of further investigation or corrective action
- Compare results from prior reports to identify equipment terminal temperature trends
