Cameras provide detailed thermal images
The ThermaCAM P660's contrast optimiser enables the user to view both the scanned object and its surroundings with the great clarity.
Flir Systems' ThermaCAM P660 thermal imaging camera suits applications that need superior image quality, temperature measurement accuracy and greater thermal image detail The P660 is supplied with a more sensitive 640 x 480 uncooled detector with an sensitivity of better than 45mK

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.
The resultant, highly detailed images can be enhanced further with the new contrast optimiser.
This algorithm enables the user to view both the scanned object and its surroundings with the great clarity.
Particularly useful in low contrast surroundings, this feature enables detail normally lost in the background to be seen more clearly.
The ThermaCAM P660 also features integral GPS for geo-location, which suits applications where a geographically spread asset base needs to be monitored.
Utility, energy and telecoms users will be major beneficiaries of this introduction.
It is also highly useful for consultants who survey different sites for a living.
The GPS data is stored automatically with the radiometric images adding mapping information to inspection reports so that field repair and service teams know the exact location of the problem.
Wireless remote control is another added-value extra on the ThermaCAM P660.
This allows the camera to be set-up in a sensitive or difficult to access location.
It monitors or captures an event while the user retires to a point of safety and still retains full control over the camera operation.
A new picture-in-picture function allows the user to overlay, pan and scale an infra-red image on a visual image.
As all measurement data is retained, the combined image can be fully analysed.
Thermal fusion is also included and enables image overlay to be undertaken in real-time at the push of a button.
The ThermaCAM P660 includes a 3.2 megapixel visual camera, a 5.6in colour LCD, a tiltable viewfinder and a three-hour battery.
It is housed in a rugged but lightweight magnesium casing.
The standard model measures temperatures from -40 to +500C with an optional range of up to +2000C. Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
