FLIR Systems, the world leader in infrared technology, has unveiled its latest FLIR E30 thermal imaging camera – the latest addition to its Australian market leading E-Series range for electrical and mechanical maintenance inspections.

Visual camera incorporated

The new FLIR E30 is equipped with a 2 Megapixel visual camera which enables the operator to clearly reference the exact position of the identified problem with a visual image.

By pressing just one button the camera stores the thermal image and the visual image simultaneously.

A LED-lamp at the front of the camera ensures good quality visual images can be taken in darker environments. Just like all FLIR E-Series cameras, the FLIR E30 is equipped with a laser pointer to help the user to associate the hot spot on the thermal image with the real physical target in the field.

Extended temperature range

The FLIR E30 is equipped with a state-of-the-art uncooled Vanadium Oxide
microbolometer detector that produces clear thermal images of 160 x 120 pixels. Temperature differences as small as 0.1˚C become clearly visible on a crisp thermal image. The FLIR E30 can measure temperatures between -20˚C and +350˚C.

Rugged and easy-to-use

The FLIR E30 is built tough and rugged to face up to everyday use in harsh environments and applications. The vital inner core is well protected (IP54 rated). Extremely easy-to-use, all buttons for controlling the FLIR E30 are right underneath your fingertips. The large 3.5″ LCD touchscreen shows clear thermal images and allows access to all camera features.

FLIR Tools included

Every FLIR E-Series thermal imaging camera comes with FLIR Tools software. FLIR Tools delivers thermal images directly from the FLIR E-Series to a PC and for basic reporting and analysis of your findings.

Main features of FLIR Tools are:
• Import images from the thermal imaging camera to a PC
• Layout, move and resize measurement tools on any thermal image
• Create PDF imagesheets of specific images
• Add headers, footers, and logos to reports
• Apply filters when searching for images

Users that need more reporting functionalities can choose for FLIR Reporter software which is also compatible with the new FLIR E-Series.

About thermal imaging

Thermal imaging is the use of cameras constructed with specialty sensors that “see” thermal energy emitted from an object.

Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible to the human eye because its wavelength is too long to be detected. It’s the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot. Thermal imaging cameras produce images of invisible infrared or “heat” radiation.

Based on temperature differences between objects, thermal imaging produces a clear image. It is an excellent tool for predictive maintenance,
building inspections, research & development and automation applications. It can see in total darkness, in the darkest of nights, through fog, in the far distance and through smoke. It is also used for security and surveillance, maritime, automotive, firefighting and many other applications.
