FLIR E50 E-Series Thermal Imaging Camera

The FLIR E50 Thermal Imaging Camera is part of the new FLIR E-series range of IR cameras that have been designed specifically for predictive maintenance inspections in electrical and mechanical systems. The FLIR E50 offers a 25° field of view and a screen resolution of 240 x 180 pixels (a total of 43,200 pixels). This thermal inspection camera can measure temperatures from -20°C up to 650°C and has an impressive thermal sensitivity of <0.05°C, providing accurate point and shoot camera operation to isolate problem areas during building inspections. The picture-in-picture feature allows an infra-red image to be overlayed while retaining all the measurement data, a very useful function when generating image reports. The FLIR TripleFusion takes infrared thermography to a new level by overlaying the rich detail of an infrared image over a hi-res visible light image in real-time, making it easier to identify critical problems more quickly and accurately.

The Flir E50 is the industry's first thermal imaging camera capable of using Wi-Fi connectivity to link with mobile devices such as an Apple iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch to speed up analysis, reporting and sharing. Simply download the FLIRViewer App from the Apple Store and you're ready to import thermal images directly from your E-Series camera. Once transferred you have the option to add further measurement spots, adjust span and level, change colour palettes, create comprehensive reports and email your findings. The Wi-Fi capability of the Flir E-series will have a big impact on your efficiency, productivity and credibilty.

Using FLIR's MeterLink enabled test and measurement devices in conjunction with the Flir E50 you can wirelessly transmit critical data from these devices directly to your thermal imager and use these readings to annotate your thermal images to further support your findings and help to quantify the severity of electrical problems.

The real-time 60Hz image frequency of the E 50 thermal camera allows for the capture of moving components such as internal winding problems and other faults in motors and mechanical systems. The FLIR E50 IR camera has a large and bright 3.5" LCD display that also acts as a touchscreen to give easy access to analytical tools such as adding a moveable spot, fine tuning the temperature range and enhancing the image by changing the colour palette. This Flir thermal camera includes both radiometric and non-radiometric IR video streaming, manual focus and has the FLIR Tools software for the acquisition of camera updates.

The new FLIR E50 compact thermal imaging camera provides high performance and value for money in the field of inspection and maintainance of electrical and mechanical systems, ensuring that they operate efficiently and safely with minimal energy consumption. The fantastic new FLIR E series of compact thermal cameras offer the fastest way to capture, analyse and share thermal images.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
Transfer images and data wirelessly to mobile devices (iPad or iPhone for example) for fast sharing and analysis of thermal reports.

MeterLink
Flir MeterLink technology allows data transfer from an Extech EX845 clamp meter and MO297 moisture meter onto the E50.

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) 
For overlying the infrared image on the visual image while retaining all thermal data. This helps to spot dangerous temperature developments and is movable & resizable.

FLIR Thermal Fusion
The E50 merges visual and infrared images to offer better analysis.

240 x 180 pixel resolution
The FLIR E50 infrared camera image resolution is 240 x 180 pixels, allowing a range of valuable thermal information to be displayed to isolate faults.

Measurement Modes
Including measurement spot, automatic hot/cold detection marker, isotherms and Delta T.

High Sensitivity and Accuracy
An impressive accuracy of ±2% and a thermal sensitivity of 0.05°C

LCD Touchscreen
A large 3.5" LCD touchscreen puts thermal analytics at your fingertips.

Thumbnail image gallery
An easy-to-access thumbnail image gallery helps you to quickly review and find your infrared images.

Text and voice annotations to images
Text comments can be made from a pre-defined list or using the touch screen. A Bluetooth headset can be used to make voice annotations.

Laser Pointer and LED Light
To associate hot/cold spot in IR image with physical target in the field, an LED light ensures image quality from built-in 3 megapixel digital camera regardless of light level.

Long Life Battery
Lithium-Ion battery (replaceable in the field) provides 4 hour continuous operation to keep up with a demanding on-site schedule.

Copy to USB
Transfer images and measurement data directly from the E50 to a USB stick.
