Widening the scope of infrared, Flir Systems has introduced the i5, a pocket-sized infrared camera that will sell for just £1990.00. Not only is i5 easily affordable, it is guaranteed to provide a rapid return on investment. It will give electricians, plumbers, HVAC and plant engineers that all important sixth sense making them more efficient at their job. The i5 will add value to service and has the potential to boost profitability significantly. It will even allow the user to look at new applications such as those aimed at minimising energy loss.
The i5 weighs less than 340g, has an 80 x 80 pixel IR resolution and thermal sensitivity of 60mK that provides a clear infrared image so that faults can be identified and remedial action taken. A long life battery provides up to 5 hours of continuous operation.
Temperatures up to +250°C can be measured with the i5 and it can detect thermal differences as small as 0.10°C; images are displayed on the camera’s bright 2.8” LCD. This measurement range enables the camera to meet the needs of a very wide range of mechanical, electrical and plumbing applications in domestic, commercial and industrial environments.
The camera is also easy to use and requires no former experience. Just point and shoot and the resultant JPG images carry all the necessary temperature data for storage on a built-in SD card or directly to a PC for analysis or e-mail.
Available via a Europe-wide distribution network the i5 comes with FLIR QuickReport software for image analysis and easy creation of reports in PDF format. Also standard within the package are a 512MB mini SD card, Li-Ion rechargeable battery with adaptor/charger, USB cable and built-in lens shutter, hand strap, manual and user CD.
