Thermal imaging cameras

13 April 2011 Test & Measurement

FLIR’s i-series of thermal imaging cameras are designed to be highly portable, with their weight of only 340 g making them easy to carry and store in a belt pouch. This low weight, as well as their ergonomic design, makes one-handed operation possible in a simple ‘point-shoot-detect’ manner.

The instruments produce instant JPEG thermal imagery that carries all required temperature data to be sent and analysed. Measurement findings can be stored on a standard mini SD card or uploaded to a USB stick. FLIR QuickReport software is included and the camera is also compatible with the more powerful FLIR Reporter.

High accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% of reading produces sensitive thermal images for general purpose maintenance analysis. The i-series measures temperatures up to +250°C and detects temperature differences as small as 0,10°C. Measurement functions include a spotmeter, box with max/min temperatures and isotherm above/below (depending on model). A Picture in Picture (PiP) function displays a resizable IR image superimposed over a digital image.

The FLIR i3 features thermal image quality of 60x60 pixels; field of view of 12,5°(H) x 12,5°(V); thermal sensitivity of 0,15°C; and spotmeter. The i5 also sports a spotmeter and its thermal image quality is 80x80 pixels; field of view is 17°(H) x 17°(V); thermal sensitivity is 0,10°C. The i7 boasts a 120x120 pixel thermal image quality; 25°(H) x 25°(V) field of view; 0,10°C thermal sensitivity; and spotmeter, area with max./min. temperature, isotherm above/below functionality.

The instruments are easy to use and come with a full manual. A menu of ITC training courses is also available.
