Thermal cameras for electro-mechanical, plant and building professionals
April 2017
Temperature Measurement
FLIR Systems has announced three new Exx-series advanced thermal imaging cameras for electrical, mechanical, and building applications: the FLIR E75, E85, and E95. The redesigned, WiFi-enabled instruments feature intelligent interchangeable lenses, laser-assisted autofocus modes and area measurement functionality, improvements to FLIR’s MSX imaging technology, and a larger 4-inch touchscreen. These distinctive features, combined with increased sensitivity and increased resolution, will help professionals identify hot spots or building deficiencies before potential problems become expensive repairs.
In the redesign, FLIR developed a new range of compact intelligent, interchangeable lenses that the camera automatically recognises and calibrates, eliminating the need for manual calibration. The range also features laser distance measurement that assures precise autofocus to improve temperature measurement accuracy, and specifically for the FLIR E85 and E95 models, provides the data for on-screen area measurement in square feet or metres. In addition, the FLIR E85 and E95 models offer increased thermal detector resolutions with up to 464×348 (161, 472 pixels), and measure temperatures up to 1500°C.
In conjunction with FLIR Tools, the new devices are the first Exx cameras to offer UltraMax, the embedded, super-resolution process that improves effective resolution by four times and thermal sensitivity by up to 50 percent. All models also feature significant improvement to FLIR’s MSX technology, which now utilises a 5-megapixel visual camera for improved image clarity and readability. These improvements, combined with a display that is 33 percent brighter and 30 percent larger, yields more vibrant and detailed thermal imagery.
The cameras feature a rugged, water-resistant design and scratch-resistant Dragontrail cover glass over a projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen. A simplified user interface delivers faster, more intuitive operation, and enhanced WiFi, Bluetooth and Meterlink connectivity makes report generation easy.
