Topdon TC003 (TC003)

Description

Genuine Topdon · Part no. TC003

The Topdon TC003. In car work it shows heat you can't see, from dragging brakes to blocked radiators and misfires.

Good to know

• What can I find on a car with it? In car work a thermal camera shows a binding brake as a hotter wheel, a blocked radiator as cold patches and a misfiring cylinder as a cooler exhaust runner. Heated rear window lines and seat heaters show up the same way.
• Why does shiny metal read wrong? Shiny bare metal reflects heat and reads cooler than it really is on a thermal camera; matt, painted or taped surfaces read more truthfully, so a strip of electrical tape gives a reliable spot to measure.
• Can I save and share the images? Yes: it has 32 GB of storage, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can keep shots of a fault and send them on. A 5000 mAh battery, IP55 dust and water resistance and a built-in torch suit workshop use.

Which one?

For spotting heat at a distance outdoors rather than measuring it on a car, the Topdon TS004 Thermal Monocular Camera (TS004) is a viewer; for heavy vehicle diagnostics, see the Topdon Heavy Duty Non16 Pin Cable Kit (HDCABLEKIT).
