Exterior Installation…

Before you begin the installation of your new TIC outdoor product, please carefully select the locations of your new TIC products.

In general;

1.Select a reasonably level surface for the installation of your new TIC outdoor speakers. For surface speakers this will prevent movement or excessive vibration during use. This will also ensure more uniform sound dispersion.

2.Ensure your new TIC outdoor speaker cables or power source if required, can easily reach your new speakers. Some people even pre- lay string as a guide ensuring that there are no obstructions or difficulties such as concrete paths or architectural feature impediments. While most if not all TIC outdoor speakers use and recommend burying the cable lightly 4-6 inches, if the cable is surface mounted you must make sure the cable is placed where it cannot be tripped over, pulled, abraded or crushed.

3.Do not place your TIC outdoor speakers in a depression or area where water pools or in the direct path of sprinklers.

4.Wherever possible avoid long term exposure of your new TIC outdoor speakers to chlorinated solvents, acids such as those often contained in fertilizers and other solvents which have the potential to eventually wear the components prematurely.

5.When installing either burial cable or TIC’s in-ground outdoor speakers please be very aware of any submerged plumbing, piping such as sprinklers or irrigation and wiring already in existence.

A note on Speaker Cable;

TIC recommends the use of our SPC double insulated high quality speaker cable, however just about any reasonable speaker cable may be used including existing runs that may be in place. For standard 8 installations of 10 – 25ft., just about any 16/18 gauge 2 core cables can usually be used although we would prefer a double insulated or burial spec cable be used. For longer runs of 25 – 100ft. 10/14 gauge cable can be used however resistance down the line will become a contributing factor.

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.
