Description

The TOPDON TC001 MAX is a compact, plug-and-play thermal imaging camera that combines infrared thermography with a visible-light camera for fusion and PIP viewing modes. It helps identify overheating components, thermal imbalance, resistance issues, and abnormal heat patterns in real time.

Typical applications

  • EV battery, busbar, and connector inspection
  • Motor/inverter thermal checks
  • Electrical hot-spot detection (fuses, relays, wiring)
  • HVAC diagnosis (heat loss, airflow/duct issues)
  • Electronics/PCB troubleshooting
  • Mechanical issues (bearings, friction, overheating)

Key benefits

  • Fusion imaging improves target identification
  • High sensitivity helps detect early-stage faults
  • Host-powered: no separate battery to manage
  • Mobile + PC workflows (capture, annotate, report)

Automotive & EV Diagnostic Use Cases

EV / hybrid

  • Battery pack thermal scan (cell/module imbalance)
  • Busbar / connector heating (resistance issues)
  • Inverter / DC-DC converter thermal anomalies
  • Motor phase temperature comparison

ICE + general electrical

  • Fuse box hot spots, relay overheating
  • Starter/alternator thermal checks
  • Wiring resistance / loose connection detection
  • ECU/PCB overheating diagnosis

TC001 MAX is ideal for:

  • EV battery diagnostics alongside PicoScope
  • Motor overheating analysis
  • Current clamp thermal correlation
  • Detecting wiring resistance issues
  • Verifying repairs visually

It complements PicoScope and milliohm testers perfectly.
