Flir i3 thermal imaging camera is 'lowest priced on the market'

The Flir i3 is a quality product whose low price has been achieved through economies of scale. Flir Systems is active across a range of markets and says it produces more thermal imaging cameras than any other manufacturer. This means Flir Systems is able to market its high-value products at more affordable prices.

According to the company, the Flir i3 is a thermal imaging camera that will benefit anyone wanting to use thermal imaging for inspection, condition monitoring, product development or other applications where visualising temperatures quickly and easily might be beneficial.

Extremely easy to use, the Flir i3 enables electrical and mechanical abnormalities to be seen in an instant. Excess heat is almost certainly the sign of a problem that can lead to failure or even fire. With the Flir i3 it really is as simple as 'point, capture and discover.'

Save time, save money

As with all thermal imaging cameras, the cost- and time-saving potential of the Flir i3 is significant. It produces thermal images of 60 x 60 pixels that are of excellent quality for first-time users. A spot meter in the centre of the image allows accurate temperature values to be read and differences of just 0.15degC to be detected.

The performance of the Flir i3 is described as being 3600 times better than that of a spot pyrometer. Whereas a spot pyrometer only records the temperature at a single point - which makes it easy to miss critical problems - the Flir i3 has 3600 measurement points in its 60 x 60 pixel array, which enables it to scan an entire component. This provides instant diagnostic information and allows the camera user to see the full extent of any problem.

Thermal images are stored in JPEG format on a removable SD card, together with all temperature data. The Flir i3 comes complete with Flir QuickReport software for image analysis and fast inspection report generation. In addition, the Flir i3 it is fully compatible with the more powerful Flir Reporter software.

Christiaan Maras, Marketing Director EMEA for Flir Systems, comments: "In recent years the price of thermal imaging cameras has decreased continuously. This has enabled more and more people to discover the advantages of thermal imaging.

"With the Flir i3, marketed at an extremely low price point, Flir Systems is aiming to reach even more users. Now every electrician and engineer can benefit from this powerful technology. We have put thermal imaging firmly in the toolbox."
