1 Safety
IR Windows MN4000

IR Windows “reduce risk” of injury during an

infrared inspection of energized electrical MN4000 removes the risk associated with
panel. live infrared inspections entirely.

With “traditional” IR Windows, risk of severe
injury or even death still exisits.
No IR Window can protect a thermographer
from an Arc-flash explosion.
IR Windows are no longer the
safest solution.
The infrared inspector can be in a different
room, inspecting hundreds of panels remotely
without any exposure to live equipment or the
need to even enter a switchroom.
No exposure for your infrared professional,
means no danger which in turn means no
chance of injury and associated litigation.

2 Efficiency
IR Windows
IR Windows are an old solution to an even
MN4000
older problem; Infrared cameras cannot see
through electrical panels that cannot be
opened when live for safety reasons MN4000 is generations ahead of traditional IR
Windows. MN4000 can be configured by your
IR Windows solve this problem by creating infrared professional to notify authorised
one or more “access points” per piece of personnel automatically when a temperature
equipment that are transparent to IR. exceeds a preconfigured setpoint.

BUT with facilities installing hundreds, if not
thousands of IR Windows, the task of
inspecting these points for your infrared
professional becomes more than can be
achieved.
Many times, IR Windows are installed but not
actually used not only because of the time
taken to inspect them all but the wasted time
travelling between IR Window installations.
IR Windows are not an efficient
solution.
Supplied with dedicated setup, alarm and
trending software, web interfaces and even
pre-written Programmable Logic Controller
(PLC) code blocks, MN4000 enables your
infrared professional to do what they are best
at, interpret results, without ever leaving the
office.

actions based upon temperature rise, fall,

STATIC AND AUTO IP ADDRESS

• THE STATIC IP ADDRESS IS SET IN THE DEVICE AND DOES NOT CHANGE EVEN WHEN POWERED
DOWN AND UP. MN4000 MN4100 CAN HOWEVER BE SET TO STATIC OR AUTO IP ADDRESS. IN THIS
CASE THEY TALK TO A DHCP SERVER WHICH ALLOCATES AN IP ADDRESS FOR IT AND THEN PUTS
IT ON THE NETWORK AND THEN THE CAMERA IS AVAILABLE ON THE NETWORK TO BE TALKED TO
AND DATA ACESSED BY OTHER DEVICES ON THE NETWORK WHICH REQUIRE IT.

Accessing The Web Interface

• To talk to the camera enter the IP address into your
web browser

• The MN4100 has a static address of 192.168.1.100

• The MN4000 is DHCP enabled but it can be changed to
