CorDEX Instruments Launches Intelligent Infrared Windows

New technology and industry-leading smartphone app will significantly cut
inspection times and streamline monitoring process

CorDEX Instruments has designed and manufactured a brand new range of
Intelligent Infrared Windows which will increase the speed and effectiveness of
electrical infrared inspection and thermal imaging and also significantly reduce
costs.

The company's IW3000 and IW4000 Infrared (IR) Windows will help companies
comply with NFPA70E electrical safety standards and are fully certified and
tested to UL50, UL50V and UL1558 and take inspection and predictive
maintenance to a new level of safety, efficiency and accuracy.

IR windows allow engineers to inspect hundreds of electrical connections and
components through a data collection point, while never opening the energised
electrical equipment. Modern IR windows are designed to protect against the
risk of arc flash hazards which can pose significant safety challenges wherever
industrial electrical equipment is used. An arc flash is a type of electrical
explosion which can be triggered by a variety of electro-mechanical and
accidental causes.

To coincide with the launch, CorDEX has also developed a smartphone app
which for the first time allows engineers to use the company's specialist
software during IR Window inspections in the field.

CorDEX has built a strong reputation of developing and manufacturing products
which are made for hazardous environments and its Intelligent IR windows allow
inspections to be carried out with minimum fuss and without the need to shut
down the equipment or use bulky protective clothing while it is live.

Business Development Director, Marcus Halliday, said: "As electrical equipment
is upgraded around the world to meet modern industry standards the need for
effective electrical infrared inspection and thermal imaging will continue to
grow.

"Our IW series of Intelligent Infrared Windows has been developed and tested to
the highest industry standards and combined with our industry-leading
software and smartphone app will save valuable time in the field as well as
make the monitoring process more efficient and cost effective."

CorDEX's Intelligent IR Windows use a unique and simple quarter turn fixing and
spring-loaded hinged cover which dramatically reduces the time spent on
regular inspections and saves up to ten seconds per window when compared
with some competitors. They are also completely removable and reusable,
helping to reduce future capital costs.

The windows are also supplied with downloadable CorDEX CONNECT™ and
RoutePLANNIR™ software packages which give users the ability to, track,
monitor and correct data collected from individual windows. Using Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) and barcode features, engineers can also input
and log readings, calibration maps and algorithms against individual windows
or access specific transmission correction figures, create maintenance
scheduling and plan inspection routes.

The company has also developed a smartphone app which will allow engineers
to use of the software on-site while inspecting its IW Series Intelligent IR
Windows. The free app provides the ability to create installation lists, tag details
and photos with specific IW Series Windows and email any requests to the user's
purchasing department or a local distributor.

The app's transmission function also allows the user to obtain IW Series Window
specific transmission data by entering the windows' serial code or scanning the
barcode. Temperature readings for the windows can be recorded manually to
obtain the transmission correction. Users can also use the app to contact a
CorDEX representative should they require any assistance.

CorDEX Instruments has developed a range of bespoke hand-held technologies
ideally suited to the hazardous environments of the energy industry.
Manufactured in the UK to the highest possible standards, its intrinsically safe
and explosion-proof equipment eliminates the need for shutdown or hot work
permits in Non Destructive Testing (NDT) and inspection.

CorDEX has a network of distributors across the North America, South America,
Africa, Australasia, Europe, South East Asia and the Middle East. For more
