The FLIR E53, incorporating Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) technology, is the entry-level model in FLIR's professional handheld cameras, making thermography accessible to numerous technicians and maintenance engineers who need to identify hot spots and other problems in buildings before they lead to costly repairs. It combines advanced thermographic capabilities for mechanical and electrical systems, as well as building applications, all in one unit. The E53, for example, is easy to use and ideal for detecting heat buildup in electrical or mechanical applications, and offers the resolution needed to detect temperature changes that indicate a building defect, such as inadequate insulation or moisture ingress.
Designed to withstand harsh environments, the device features a rugged, water-resistant construction and has been drop-tested from a height of 2 meters. Other key features of the E53 camera include Wi-Fi connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera, a 4-inch dynamic touchscreen with a 160-degree viewing angle, and a 240x180 resolution detector offering over 43,000 temperature measurement points and a temperature range up to +650°C. Furthermore, the device's intuitive user interface provides easy operation and useful functions such as one-touch level/amplitude adjustment, allowing users to enhance the contrast of their subject simply by touching the screen.
Another new product from FLIR is its three handheld devices featuring its proprietary Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) technology. The DM285 is an all-in-one, true-RMS industrial digital multimeter with a thermal imaging camera that allows users to locate hot spots or abnormal temperatures. The device offers an integrated 160 x 120 thermal imaging camera and is ideal for benchtop or field use, and for inspecting a range of electrical, mechanical, and HVAC applications and systems.
The second is the CM275; this clamp meter combines a thermal imaging camera with electrical measurements, offering a fast and reliable way to identify hot spots and overloaded circuits from a safe distance. The third device is the DM166, a very affordable multimeter with a built-in 80 x 60 thermal imaging camera, ideal for locating abnormal temperatures, along with a multimeter offering numerous troubleshooting and diagnostic functions for both high and low voltage applications.
The final part of the launch consists of the new FLIR multimeters offering exceptional value: the DM62 and DM66. These two true-RMS digital multimeters are designed for electrical and maintenance engineers and technicians. Featuring numerous functions, precise measurements, and quality construction, these devices offer voltage, current, frequency, capacitance, and temperature measurement; the DM66 also measures impedance.
