TOOLTOP ET14C 240 × 240 Thermal Camera | 25 Hz Electrical Inspection

Product overview

The TOOLTOP ET14C is a standalone 25 Hz thermal camera for visualizing heat patterns during electrical, HVAC, building-envelope and equipment inspections. Its VOx sensor produces a 240 × 240 thermal image on a 2.8-inch IPS display, while adjustable emissivity helps match the surface being inspected. Center, maximum and minimum temperature readouts, five palettes, configurable sound-and-light alarms, image hold, local screenshot storage and USB transfer support systematic troubleshooting in the field.

Select Camera + Macro Lens when the included close-range accessory is needed for electronics work. This is a diagnostic screening tool—not a medical device—and temperature results depend on emissivity, reflected temperature, distance and operating conditions.

Best For

• Electrical panels, connectors and circuit troubleshooting
• HVAC checks, insulation surveys and building-envelope screening
• Mechanical equipment, motors, bearings and heat-loss investigation
• Close-range electronics inspection when the macro-lens configuration is selected

Technical Specifications

Configuration Guide

• Camera Only: ET14C camera, carry case, USB cable and manual, as shown in the standard-kit image.
• Camera + Macro Lens: ET14C camera with the added macro lens, carry case, USB cable and manual, as shown in the macro-lens kit image.

Compatibility

This is a standalone thermal camera, not a smartphone accessory. The manual confirms USB transfer and PC temperature replay for saved thermal files, but does not verify a specific operating-system list or provide a supported-app download link.

Important Limitations

• The 240 × 240 figure is thermal resolution; it is not a photographic megapixel rating.
• Use only as an inspection aid. It cannot diagnose medical conditions or guarantee the condition of electrical equipment.
• Do not interpret the close-range macro accessory as a verified accuracy or minimum-feature-size specification.
• The camera may briefly click or pause while performing automatic calibration; this is normal behavior.
• The manual instructs users not to immerse the device in water. No IP rating is claimed here.

Safety & Use Notes

• Do not aim the lens at the sun, high-intensity radiation sources or targets above the stated range.
• Set emissivity appropriately and account for reflective surfaces before relying on a reading.
• Use the supplied charging equipment where applicable. Keep the lithium-ion battery away from fire, heat, direct sunlight, crushing and disassembly.
• Follow safe electrical work practices; thermal imaging does not make energized equipment safe to touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the thermal image 240 × 240 while the screen is 240 × 320?

240 × 240 is the thermal sensor image resolution. The 2.8-inch screen has a 240 × 320 display resolution for the interface and image display.

Why does the camera click or pause briefly?

The device periodically performs automatic calibration to maintain imaging consistency. A short pause or click can occur during that process.

Can I connect it to an Android phone or iPhone?

No mobile-app compatibility is verified for ET14C. It operates as a standalone camera with USB transfer for saved files.
