FLIR Announces 3 NEW Infrared Cameras for Facilities Managers & Electrical Professionals
The Global Leader in Infrared Cameras Introduces NEW Thermal Imaging Products Designed for Facilities Maintenance and Electrical Condition Monitoring
Boston, MA (February 15, 2006) - FLIR Systems, Inc., the world leader in infrared (IR) cameras and technology is proud to announce the addition of three new models to its extensive line of thermal imagers - the ultra-portable InfraCAM", the high-resolution ThermaCAM® EX300, and the affordable ThermaCAM® E45. The InfraCAM is the ideal infrared solution for those looking to use this powerful technology at a very approachable price, while the EX300 provides unsurpassed image clarity and detail. An informative video on the InfraCAM may be viewed at: www.flirthermography.com/cameras/camera/1090/.
FLIR's offerings are the most widely used infrared predictive maintenance solutions in the world. The addition of the lightweight, hand-held InfraCAM, E45 and EX300 models, provides professional electricians and facility managers with the ability to easily detect and diagnose problems with electrical systems. These cameras enable entire electrical systems to be scanned, to inspect areas that can't easily be reached with thermocouples or other contact-based tools, to instantly detect faulty connections, fuses, circuit breakers, and wiring for immediate repair, and diagnose their potential impact on the operation of a facility.
"Although the cost of IR cameras has decreased over the years, they have remained prohibitive for many electrical professionals and facility managers," explained John Keane, Director of Sales, FLIR Thermography Division. "Now, the introduction of the InfraCAM, an affordable thermal imager, will revolutionize the industry and open up the marketplace - this is the solution which will lead new users to discover the power and convenience of infrared."
Maintenance-free, revolutionary uncooled FPA infrared detectors produce highly sensitive thermal images that allow for the detection of subtle temperature variations that can signal faults in electrical components. The InfraCAM" features a large, easy-to-read 3.5" LCD screen - highlighting even the smallest of issues to be accurately located and displayed. A lightweight, long-life Li -Ion battery guarantees uninterrupted inspections for up to 7 hours on a single charge. The built-in Laser LocatIR" pinpoints problems with precision, and enhances worker safety by eliminating "finger pointing" at problems in hazardous electrical environments. The on-board, flexible JPEG image storage allows images to be easily downloaded to a PC via included USB cable and QuickView" software for inspection reporting.
The new robust EX300 camera features a 320 x 240 high-resolution pixel array, providing four times the resolution of many compact cameras on the market with standard 160 x 120 arrays. The EX300 boasts high thermal sensitivity for optimal accuracy, and high temperature range settings - ideal for finding faults in electrical and mechanical systems quickly, easily and accurately.
The ThermaCAM E45 is an affordable infrared solution for electrical and mechanical condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. This camera is perfect for even entry-level infrared users combining a robust, yet user-friendly feature set, with extreme affordability.
"The introduction of these three new thermal imaging solutions addresses some very important application needs for our customer base," explained Keane. "We're very excited about the resolution capabilities of the new EX300 - allowing infrared users to see targets much more clearly and identify problems more easily with unsurpassed thermal accuracy. And the new InfraCAM and E45 offer solid value - combining good performance and unprecedented affordability."
