Thermal Camera Bosch GTC 600 C NETD IR 256x192 9Hz -20 to 600°C

The Bosch GTC 600 C thermal camera is a compact handheld instrument designed for fast thermal imaging and temperature measurement across a wide range from -20 °C to 600 °C. Using a NETD sensor with a resolution of 256 x 192 pixels and a thermal frame rate of 9 Hz, the device produces thermal images in JPG format and displays them on an integrated LCD. The camera features a close focusing distance of 0.3 m, a lightweight plastic housing for easy handling, and is powered by a rechargeable Lithium‑Ion battery with up to 6 hours of operating time.

Advantages

The GTC 600 C combines a mid-range thermal resolution with a low-noise NETD sensor to deliver clear thermal contrast for inspection tasks. Its operating temperature span up to 600 °C enables use in a variety of environments where both low and high temperatures must be assessed. The integrated LCD and JPG output simplify immediate viewing and documentation of images. Lightweight construction and a rechargeable battery support extended mobile use without frequent recharging.

Suitable for

• Building inspections and thermal leak detection
• Electrical panel and component temperature checks
• HVAC diagnostics and pipework monitoring

How to use

Switch on the thermal camera and allow the sensor to stabilize if required by the manufacturer guidance. Aim the lens at the target area from the appropriate distance, keeping at least the specified minimum focus distance of 0.3 m. Use the LCD to frame the scene, capture thermal images in JPG format, and review them on the display. For temperature readings, point the central measurement area at the target and read the value on screen. Charge the Lithium‑Ion battery using the supplied charger and follow safety instructions for battery handling and storage.

Usage recommendations

For accurate temperature assessment, ensure the emissivity setting and distance-to-target considerations match the inspected material. Avoid direct exposure of the camera to extreme humidity or dust without appropriate protection, and allow the device to acclimate when moving between large temperature differences.
