The affordable, uncooled thermal imaging camera
With the introduction of the new ThermaCAM SC500, FLIR Systems is able to extend the benefits of its patented solid state microbolometer detector techlogy to the R and D community.
In its latest thermal imaging camera, FLIR Systems builds on this inherent versatility and introduces several new and significant features.
The result is an exceptionally powerful means of detecting faults and saving costs.
This new model, the ThermaCAM PM695 is being demonstrated publicly for the first time at Maintec 2001.
The ThermaCAM PM695 has nearly 77,000 measurement points which provide unmatched accuracy.
This is complemented by a two fold improvement in image quality.
Also new are auto focus, auto range and auto span features which produce perfectly adjusted, high resolution thermal images to help users identify problems clearly and to speed survey time.
Spot measurement, area average, line profile, isotherm and Delta T measurement modes are all instantly selectable via pull-down menu.
This new camera operates two standard temperature ranges.
The first is -40 to + 120C, an ideal range for those working climatic chambers and cold stores.
The second is 0 to 500C which is particularly useful for applications whose operating temperatures ramp-up quickly.
Ranges up to +1500 and +2000C are optionally available.
This latest model has an integral digital camera for taking digital photographs.
30 seconds of voice comments can also be embedded with each image file.
Other standard features include a built-in colour viewfinder.
Just as taking and storing the image onto PC card is exceptionally simple, so too is documenting the results.
The seamless integration of the ThermaCAM PM695 camera and ThermaCAM ReporterT software ensures that field inspection data is quickly and automatically transformed into a maintenance report.
Wizards provide templates for speedy setting of report formats.
To enable users to benefit from the application breadth and depth that this camera provides, FLIR Systems offers three grades of training either at FLIR's International Training Centre in Sweden or on-site at the customer's premises.
