An Important note on Polarity | TIC TFS14, TFS15 instruction

Before actually sinking the cable, run the cable from your unit to the power source or amplifier. Ensure your cable run avoids any obstacles such as sunken sprinkler pipes or piping and electrical cable to your house. Once the cable runs are where you like them, connect your speakers and power source to ensure correct operation before sinking the cable. Disconnect the cable wire at both ends and continue.

An Important note on Polarity!

Pleasure proper polarity when connecting your new TIC outdoor speakers. This is very important and will result in poor sound reproduction and possibly equipment damage if not connected correctly. This is normally avoided by ensuring + to + and – to – or as sometimes color coded Red to Red and Black to Black from your amplified source to your speakers respectively.

Once you have tested your cable run in step 3, it is time to sink the cable. 4-6” of cover is normally recommended to offset accidental disturbance, movement of the earth etc. but your specific onsite conditions will apply. Should you wish to secure the installation of your unit then simply clamp, by way of a “U” spike etc. the cable directly beneath the unit or you may use TIC’s SPPSS Security Stake available as an optional extra.

Reconnect the speakers and your receiver amplifier being careful to ensure correct “Polarity” matching.

TFS15, TFS14 specifications

The TIC TFS15 and TFS14 are advanced thermal imaging cameras that have made significant strides in various applications, including industrial, agricultural, and building inspection. These models stand out due to their high-performance specifications, exceptional imaging capabilities, and user-friendly design.

The TFS15, in particular, boasts a powerful thermal resolution of 384x288 pixels, allowing for detailed thermal images that are critical in identifying heat leaks, electrical hotspots, and mechanical failures. Its advanced sensor technology enhances image clarity, ensuring that users can distinguish between different temperature variations easily. Meanwhile, the TFS14, while having a slightly lower resolution, still delivers impressive thermal imaging capabilities with a resolution of 320x240 pixels.

Both models feature a high thermal sensitivity, often specified as NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) as low as 50 mK. This sensitivity enables users to detect minor temperature differences, which is crucial for precise diagnostics in various fields. The TIC TFS series also includes real-time temperature measurement capabilities, allowing users to assess thermal data instantly and make informed decisions based on accurate readings.

Innovation is evident in the connectivity features of these cameras. They come equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities, enabling users to share their findings with a wider audience, access cloud storage, or control the camera remotely via a mobile app. Additionally, with built-in GPS, these cameras can tag images with precise geographic locations, enhancing the value of the data collected in fieldwork.

User experience is enhanced through intuitive interfaces and customizable settings. Touchscreen displays provide easy access to camera functions and options, making the devices accessible even to those not well-versed in thermal imaging technology. The TFS15 and TFS14 are designed to withstand harsh conditions, featuring durable construction that complies with IP54 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Battery life is another strong suit, with long-lasting rechargeable options that support extended use in the field without the need for frequent recharging.

In summary, the TIC TFS15 and TFS14 thermal cameras are superb tools equipped with cutting-edge technology that delivers precise thermal analysis, making them invaluable for professionals in multiple industries.
