The CoroCAM 6D® is a re-development of the CoroCAM Solar Blind UVc® imaging System with an emphasis on cost reduction through innovative design. Sensitivity was improved through the use of newly designed solar blind filter packs and a specially developed low noise, high sensitivity detector. Modernized electronics were added to reduce weight, system noise and size. The CoroCAM 6D® can be factory fitted with an optional motorized module which allows the camera to operate in Solar Blind (SB) or Non-Solar Blind (NSB) modes. NSB mode removes the SB filter from the light path and allows more UV light to reach the detector - this boosts the cameras sensitivity. In NSB mode the CoroCAM 6D® can only be used at night or indoors.
Features
- A high sensitivity detector, which can detect UVC emissions down to 2.05x10-18 W/cm2, this allows for the detection of the smallest corona discharges
- UV Gain, threshold or integration can be set to optimize the resulting image
- Factory fitted optional Motorized Solar blind filter position module can remove the solar blind filter from the light path to enhance sensitivity
- Corona signals above the threshold level are displayed in realtime
- The UV count sampling box has 3 sizes
- The UV count is adjusted to compensate for camera settings
- A high sensitivity colour video camera with a resolution of 768 x 576 pixels which can operate at light levels down to 0.0004 lux, rendering it capable of seeing corona streamers under near dark conditions.
- Syncronised UV & Visible Zoom from 1x system zoom (defined as 8°x6° / 10° Diagonal) to 2x system zoom (optical for the Visible Channel and digital for the UV channel)
- Automatic or Manual visible camera focus control. UV camera focus can be set manually or slaved to the visible camera focus position
