FLIR introduces two new thermal spot cameras: the FLIR TG268 and TG298. These thermal imaging cameras provide professionals in the utility, manufacturing, electrical, automotive and industrial sectors with a lightweight, portable and affordable tool for condition monitoring that features a number of key improvements. Among the improvements FLIR has implemented are higher temperature ranges to cover even more applications, improved thermal image resolution and increased data storage capacity. FLIR also introduces on-camera condition monitoring and connectivity to its METERLiNK app for file transfer to mobile devices.
The FLIR TG268 thermal spot temperature camera takes users beyond the limitations of single spot IR thermometers to view and assess hot and cold spots that can indicate potentially dangerous problems. Perfect for the uncompromising demands of commercial electrical, building maintenance and HVAC applications, this innovative thermal imaging camera reduces diagnostic time by providing targeted temperature detection (with a bullseye laser capability), while simplifying repair and maintenance reporting.
Built to withstand harsh operating environments, the FLIR TG268 features an industrial design with IP54 rating, 2-metre drop test, 100-bright flashlight and Type K thermocouple. Its fast start-up time of approximately 6 seconds ensures that it is ready to check everything from electrical connections to mechanical failures quickly and accurately. It measures from -25°C to 400°C (752°F) with a 24:1 spot size ratio and a bullseye laser pointer.
Multi-spectral image enhancement
The imager offers improved detail of native thermal images with Super Resolution (upscaling to best-in-class 320×240). To help diagnose problems faster, it offers FLIR's patented MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) image enhancement. With MSX, users can add detail by embossing visual scene details onto full thermal images, providing additional context to accurately target potential faults and troubleshoot repairs.
The FLIR METERLiNK app (with Ignite Sync) can be used to take measurements remotely (from a safe distance) and document inspection data for field reporting and sharing. The app provides a live view of data readings from up to seven paired devices.
For high temperatures
The FLIR TG298 is an industrial thermal diagnostic tool that provides accurate temperature measurement and the ability to image up to 1080°C (1976°F) with a 30:1 spot size ratio and bullseye laser pointer. Applications include temperature measurement and remote monitoring of high temperature applications such as glass furnaces, kilns and forges, as well as manufacturing applications.
