The information below outlines the unique and powerful features that contribute to the FLIR P-Series infrared cameras' outstanding performance.
To achieve true high quality images three cornerstones need to be in place; a detector with high resolution and sensitivity and a high quality powerful lens. For the FLIR P-Series the combination of a very powerful lens and high sensitivity detector generates the best image available of all performance cameras.
High Definition Images
Powerful and interchangeable infrared lenses
A large diameter lens means more IR radiation reaches the detector, resulting in high quality IR images. The high precision germanium lenses in the P-Series have integral USM focusing mechanism and are designed to take full advantage of the 640x480 pixel FPA detector. The P-Series features a standard 24° lens and optional 7°, 12° and 45° lenses.
640x480 pixel resolution
Higher resolution improves your inspections providing higher accuracy of measured temperatures spotting even small objects from a distance. This is of critical importance to many thermographers who need to minimise the risk of missing faults that can develop to catastrophic failures.
With a higher resolution camera you cover a bigger object with only one image. With lower resolutions more images are needed to cover the same area with the same level of details in the image.
High sensitivity
The thermal sensitivity in the FLIR P-Series ranges from 40mK (P620) to < 30mK (P660) depending on model. The higher the sensitivity is the better the camera is to capture the finest image details even at low temperature differences. High detector sensitivity is particularly important for building applications where temperature differences are typically lower.
High quality visual camera
All P-Series models include an integrated 3.2Mpixel visual camera, fixed lens, autofocus and lamp for shooting in dark environments
Contrast Optimiser (only P660)
The Contrast Optimiser is a unique feature that enhances infrared images of objects having a lot of fine details. It optimises automatically the brightness and contrast adjustment to make it easier to make thermal analyses of detailed objects. Contrast Optimiser is an advanced military image processing technology for the first time implemented in a commercial infrared camera.
Measurement range
Electrical applications demand a higher measurement range that e.g. building applications. The P-Series measures temperatures from -40°C to +500°C
Power/Functionality
Remote Control
Wireless remote control is an optional feature compatible with P660, P640 and P620. It comforts and safety for hazardous measurements or inspections in remote places. Supports WLAN and MPEG video on remote.
Built in GPS
FLIR embedded Geographic Positioning System (GPS) automatically documents satelite coordinates. The system enables technicians to view, analyse and directly localise infrared images from many different locations easily and quickly. It will also guide inspection and field repair teams to the correct location.
Infrared images become geo-refrenced and can be loaded into the Reporter software, offering links to available map and satelite imagery information systems (like Google® Earth) that indicates the geographic location of the images. P660 only - and upgraded of P620 and P640.
Laser locator
A conveniently located button activates the laser locator that will help you associate the hot or cold spot in the IR image with the real physical target in the field.
Flexible interfaces
Easy access to composite video connection, USB, FireWIre, and a direct connection to charge the battery inside the camera.
MPEG-4 video
Create visual and infrared non radiometric MPEG-4 video files.
Thermal fusion
FLIR's Thermal Fusion, merging visual and infrared images, allows for easier identification and interpretation of infrared images. On the FLIR P660 camera the overlay function operates in real time.
Define whether to display areas a predefined temperature threshold or a temperature interval.
Picture-in-picture
Create an infrared overlay on all your visual images. Scalable, moveable and resizable. This feature helps to spot and highlight sensitive or dangerous temperature developments and makes report interpretation easy even for a person unfimiliar with infrared.
Text and voice annotations
Text comments can be uploaded to the camera through a wireless IrDa interface. A headset can be connected to make voice annotations.
Thumbnail image gallery
An easy-to-access thumbnail image gallery helps you to quickly review and find your infrared image.
Radiometric JPEG
FLIR uses a non proprietary radiometric JPEG image format that allows for post processing and report writing with Microsoft Word® based FLIR software. Single image/periodic storage.
Intelligent battery system
The Li-Ion battery of the P-Series gives the user autonomy of over 3 hours IR inspections. The battery can be charged while still in the camera, in a 2-bay charger or in a car.
Automatic focus and Manual focus, Digital zoom
Dual focus possibilities including autofocus.
Ergonomics/Ease of Use
Tiltable viewfinder
The high resolution viewfinder is tiltable and can be adapted to the individual user. It is an absolutely necessary feature for outdoor use as it shows a very sharp image without influence of ambient light and reflections.
Large LCD screen
Super size 5.6" foldable high-quality LCD screen allows you to see the smallest details and temperature differences.
IP54 standard
The P-Series meets the IP54, is dust-proof and water splash-proof, and is designed to be used in harsh industrial environments and weather conditions.
Temperature sound, image alarms
Make surveying easier and faster.
Measurements modes
- Moveable measurement spots
- Automatic hot/cold detection; auto hot or cold spot meter markers within area
- Isotherms; and isotherm replaces certain colours in the scale with a contrasting colour, which simplifies detecting a problem. Detect high, low and interval temperatures. An isotherm has a width and temperature level whcih can be in the scale
- ΔT (Delta T) calculation (FLIR T400/B400 only). ΔT means the difference if the results between two measurement tools or one tool and a manually set reference temperature.
- Object parameters; possible to input values of emissivity, reflective apparent temperature, relative humidity, distance and atmospheric temperature.
Multi-angle handle with integrated direct access buttons
A turnable control grip allows you to use the camera in the most comfortable position. The buttons and joystick to control the camera are integrated in this handle and always stay right underneath your fingertips. Functions like auto focus, freezing and storing of images are just a button away.
Programmable direct access buttons
For increased flexibility the operator can program buttons located on the top of the camera to change colour palettes, emissivity settings or temperature ranges, or activate analysis tools such as spots and areas.
