Pard presents TA-LRF thermal monoculars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the IWA event last year, we had a chance to examine PARD’s TA series<\/a> of thermal monoculars. This year (2023), Pard showcased the TA32-LRF<\/strong> and TA62-LRF<\/strong> series at their booth \u2013 we were eager to check out their features.<\/p>\n\n\n

The main update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main update in the TA-LRF models is the inclusion of a laser rangefinder (LRF)<\/strong>, which can measure distances up to 1000 meters. Unlike many competing devices, the LRF module is integrated inside the device<\/strong> without any protruding parts visible on the housing. This design approach preserves a neat aesthetic and enables effortless operation for both left- and right-handed users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery compartment change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The housing of the LRF TA models remains strikingly similar to their non-LRF counterparts. Pard ingeniously incorporated the LRF module into the existing design without significantly altering the form factor; these LRF models are only marginally larger and heavier, and they maintain a sleek profile with no protruding parts<\/strong>, unlike many competing devices. To accommodate the LRF module, Pard had to reconfigure the battery compartment in the TA-LRF models. Unlike the non-LRF models, where the battery is horizontally inserted, the updated design incorporates a compartment that accommodates battery insertion at an angle. The same 18650 battery<\/a><\/strong> is used as with non-LRF models.<\/p>\n\n\n

The available models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customers can choose between the TA32-LRF and TA62-LRF subseries, differentiated by their sensor resolution; the TA32-LRF models offer a 384×288 pixel resolution<\/strong>, while the TA62-LRF models boast a higher 640×480 pixel resolution<\/strong>. Additionally, within each subseries, there are models that vary based on objective lens diameter. The TA32-LRF subseries offers 19mm, 25mm, or 35mm<\/strong> lens options, whereas the TA62-LRF subseries presents 25mm and 35mm<\/strong> lens choices. All the sensors of the TA devices feature a 12-micron pixel pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n

The TA62-LRF models boast an impressive NETD of less than 25 mK<\/strong>, whereas the TA32-LRF models exhibit a NETD of less than 35 mK<\/strong>. This distinction implies that, under challenging weather conditions like rain and fog, the flagship TA62-LRF series will be able to discern smaller temperature differences more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
