Pocket Rocket i5 infrared camera from Flir Systems Australia set new entry level IR
FLIR has released its pocket-sized i5 model - it is
FLIR's lowest priced, full function thermography camera aimed squarely at the
electrical contractor, mechanical and building trades.
Developed to service the growing demand for low cost, high performance thermal
imaging cameras for commercial applications, the i5 is up to 40% below FLIR's
current lowest cost camera.
Weighing just 340g (little more than a mobile phone) the i5 is the lightest and
most compact handheld infrared camera available in its class capable of delivering
commercial functionality.
Roger Christiansz: Flir Systems Australia Managing Director: "The FLIR i5 is
the latest product in our ongoing strategy to open large new commercial markets
for infrared technology. This is truly a revolutionary product at a revolutionary
price.
"Skyrocketing energy prices, unhealthy environments and subsequent maintenance
issues in industrial, commercial and residential applications increase the demand
for affordable instruments that quickly diagnose operational problems.
"The FLIR i5 is easy to use and requires no former experience. It really is a
matter of 'point-shoot-detect' to obtain high-quality infrared images that will
immediately give you the infrared information you need," he said.
The FLIR i5 is the first infrared camera of this kind on the market with regard to
weight, size, functionality, and price. With a weight of 340 g and a length of 22cm,
it is the lightest and most compact handheld infrared camera of its class that is
currently available on the market.
FLIR Systems has considerably simplified the use of the infrared camera. The i5
produces instant, point-and-shoot JPEG infrared imagery that (as with every
full-fledged infrared camera) carries all the required temperature data that can
be stored internally or externally, sent and analyzed.
An infrared camera is a powerful maintenance tool, as in many instances equipment
failure is preceded by a period of increasing heat. An infrared camera is also an
excellent building inspection instrument, it quickly scans and identifies problem
areas that can't be seen by the naked eye.
The i5 can also used for repair verification and insurance purposes:
- Detect hidden problems, make quick damage assessments and perform preventive inspections.
- Survey buildings to find moisture and leaks.
- Identify energy losses and poor insulation.
- Spot electrical faults before it's too late.
- Produce instant infrared images of your findings.
- Produce reports, analyse and document your findings with easy to use FLIR software.
The FLIR i5 measures temperatures up to +250°C and detects temperature differences
as small as 0.10°C, displayed on the camera's bright 2.8" LCD display. Its temperature
measurement range suits most applications in electrical, mechanical, and building
environments. A long-life battery ensures up to 5 hours of continuous operation.
The FLIR i5 comes with the FLIR QuickReport software for image analysis and easy
creation of reports in PDF format, a 512MB mini SD Card, a Li-Ion rechargeable
battery with charger, USB cable, hand strap, and manuals and user CDs available
in 21 languages.
"A critical issue in purchasing an infrared camera has often been its price,"
said Lars Lidman, Vice President Sales and Marketing Asia-Pacific of the FLIR
Systems Thermography Division.
"Now, we offer the FLIR i5, a camera from the world-leading and most experienced
manufacturer which is very affordable and which will find its way to many more
businesses and users. The FLIR i5 will allow them to benefit from the advantages
of infrared technology and to significantly expand their range of services."
