FLIR E86 Thermal Camera with Dual Field of View Lens

The FLIR E86 Thermal Camera with Dual Field of View Lens handled device is the first FLIR pistol-grip camera with a 640 x 480 (307,200 pixels) thermal resolution plus FLIR UltraMax and MSX technology incorporated. The E96 DFOV is designed to quickly diagnose electrical and mechanical failures while keeping the operator at a safe distance from potentially hazardous high-voltage targets. The camera can accurately detect hot spots and hidden deficiencies invisible to the naked eye accurately (±2°C (±3.6°F) or ±2% of the reading) with a temperature range of -20ºC to 1500ºC with a thermal sensitivity/NETD of <40 mK, with 24° FOV at 30°C (86°F) and <50 mK, 14° FOV at 30°C (86°F)

The E96 laser distance meter provides measurement information and a crisp accurate focus. With Wi-Fi connectivity, an operator can upload, organise and share images directly from the camera. Other features of the camera include a Picture-in-Picture mode, live Max/Min temperature display, a 5MP digital camera with incorporated LED Photo/Video lamp and a continuous 1-8x digital zoom. The camera allows for GPS tags to be automatically added to images, whilst voice annotations can be added for further analysis.

Boasting a wide range of professional diagnostic tools, the FLIR E96 DFOV allows users to quickly find, fix and document issues with six colour palettes, three spot meters, a FLIR-Screen EST mode and an Infrared Time Lapse feature ranging from 10 seconds to 24 hours. Three area measurement boxes, area measurement information (m² or ft²) and focus modes such as continuous LDM, one-shot LDM, one-shot contrast and manual

With a 4" touchscreen (640 × 480 pixel) LCD display with auto-rotation, the E96 offers a clear view to the user even in challenging environments.

FLIR FlexView Dual Field of View (DFOV)

The FLIR E86 Thermal Camera with Dual Field of View Lens allows users to instantly switch between a 24º wide view lens to a 14º telephoto lens at the push of a button. The camera's one lens with two fields of view removes the need to remove and swap lenses manually reducing the risk of damage that can be caused by dust and debris in the field.

The E96 DFOV provides a wide field of view to quickly scan to detect anomalies and understand what is being inspected and how it compares to others or similar and a narrow field of view to maximise the pixels on a target to improve the accuracy of the measurement. The narrow view allows a user to put 2.8X pixels on a target with the 1.7x optical radiometric zoom for more accurate measurement and to improve the component detail. The flexView DFOV allows for the user to stay outside of arc flash zones while scanning critical assets from a safe distance.

FLIR Ignite™ Cloud and FLIR Inspection Route

Using the FLIR Ignite™ Cloud, users can upload, store and maintain images safely in one place that is easily accessible. Using the Cloud, operators of the FLIR E96 DFOV can use FLIR Inspection Route and pre-plan inspection routes exported and viewable through the camera ensuring time is not wasted when a location is reached and an inspection starts. FLIR Thermal Studio software allows for in-depth image analysis and reporting.

FLIR MSX Technology

The Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) feature of the FLIR E86 DFOV camera creates crisp, vibrant imagery using FLIR's patented technology. For enhanced detail and perspective, the MSX option incorporates visual detail from the 5MP digital camera with an incorporated LED Photo/Video lamp and embosses it directly over the full thermal image. In this format components become so clear that even a label becomes readable, providing an immense advantage when attempting to identify the context and issue of the thermal problem.

FLIR Assetlink

This product is compatible with FLIR's Assetlink, which is a browser-based platform that connects inspection data to your asset hierarchy, helping you reduce reporting time, simplify workflows, and boost operational efficiency. It works with FLIR Exx, T5xx, T8xx, and iXX cameras, and is compatible with any browser-enabled device, so you can manage inspections from anywhere, whether in the field or the office. Assetlink is available in four configurations, which are as follows:

  • FLIR Assetlink - 10 Users, 1 Year (T850158)
  • FLIR Assetlink - 100 GB Storage, 1 Year (T850161)
  • FLIR Assetlink - 15 Users, 1 Year (T850159)
  • FLIR Assetlink - 20 Users, 1 Year (T850160)
