Introduction
Thank you for choosing the IR FlexCam
®
portable infrared camera (referred to
hereafter as the “Camera”). This award-winning Camera offers some of the
most advanced, yet most intuitive, fully-radiometric solutions available. The
visible light camera module (VLCM) and IR Fusion functions (on select
models only) make it easier than ever to manage and analyze images captured
with this system and improve reporting abilities. The unique control image and
IR Fusion technology enables you to combine visible light images—like a
normal digital camera—and infrared images together to create a single image
with greatly enhanced detail. This is especially helpful in low contrast scenes
where the temperature differential is minimal and the infrared image appears to
be all one color.
The IR FlexCam is available in 7models. The TiR2, Ti40 and Ti45 cameras
use a detector with 160 x 120 resolution. The TIR3, TiR4, Ti50 and Ti55
cameras use a detector with 320 x 240 resolution. Refer to Appendix D for
specific features available on your camera.
Your Camera is powerful and easy to use in a wide range of applications
including:
Predictive Maintenance
• Electrical Systems—Identify circuit overloads before they happen.
• Mechanical Systems—Reduce downtime and prevent failures.
• Utilities—Monitor substations, transmission lines, etc. efficiently and
accurately.
Building Science
• Roofing—Detect and isolate water saturation quickly and efficiently.
• Building Envelope—Perform commercial and residential infrared energy
audits.
