testo 865s

€€€€

160 × 120 native thermal sensor, NETD 100 mK, 9 Hz.

    19 200 points measured · 76 800 displayed
    Number of the sensor's measurement points, shown to the catalog's scale. The largest sensor in the database has 327 680 points.

    Quantified super resolution. As with the 872s, testo publishes the IFOV achieved after processing: 2.1 mrad versus 3.4 mrad natively. It's the only manufacturer in this comparison to quantify the actual spatial-resolution gain instead of just advertising a pixel count.

    Observations

    • testo's entry-level model. A NETD of 100 mK, the highest in the professional building segment of this comparison, and a range capped at 280°C.
    • Neither ε-Assist, nor a mobile app, nor wireless connectivity, unlike the 868s: that's the main difference between the two, with an identical sensor.
    • IFOV warning. A square cursor on-screen shows the real size of the measurement spot at the targeted distance, preventing you from measuring an object smaller than the spot. A feature present across the entire testo range and absent everywhere else.
    • ScaleAssist automatically sets the thermal scale to make two images comparable from one visit to the next.
    • A removable battery shared across the entire 860 series and the 872s. One set of batteries serves several devices.
    • Neither weight, nor dimensions, nor pixel pitch, nor NETD conditions are published.
