P4228 Thermal Imaging Camera W Battery Case BooksThis auction features a thermal image camera manufactured in essex england by the lgiht conversion division of eev (english electric valve company). This camear was surplused in april 1994 by the department of national defense in halifax novice scotia (see scanned copy of original surplus valuation). It was purchased at a government surplus auction at the crown assets distribution center in august of 1994. It has been setting in the garage of this purchaser until coming into my possession in october of this year. I have verified this informatino and can document the series of ownership. This auction includes a complete model number p4228 (serial number 158) thermal image camera, a spare rubber face grommet, one p4428b battery cartridge, one p4428d dummy battery container, one hard carry case made in united kingdom by oakleigh products, two keys for said case, one original instruction manual, two original technical manuals, and one binder of original schematics. The camera has been tested and is owrking great. I am not able to photograph the thermal images as they are displayed on the camera's monitor but they look great and i have included a scan of one page from the instruction manual that shows you what to expect and this is a very accurate representation. I used the camera so survey the exterior of my home for its hot spots of energy loss and found it quite an education. I now have a long list of insulating projects on my to-do list! Lol. The p4228b battery cartridge uses aa batteries for power and it is nice and clean with no corrosion or corruption. I am uncertain what the purpose of the p4228d dummy battery is?
It has a fused pig tail that may be for a voltage converter or alternative power source? It is also in great shape. The whole camera looks great and has no issues operationally or cosmetically. It seems to have seen very little use.
The original case has typical scuffs and scratches from banging around but looks and works great. It has a full length piano hinge in back, a leather top carry handle, and dual locking latches no the front. All edges are reinforced and it has 8 anvil corners. Some of the anvil corners have light rust but it is a rugged case with no dings or dents.The inside has padded inserts to hold the camera securely in place and the top has a compartment for all the manuals. There is a steel cable lid keeper that prevents the lid from falling all the way open. Case is 17 x 12 x 12. It has the makers tag on the rear and a label on top showing the model and serial number of the camera. It is obviously original to the camera.
