FLIR relaunches the new E30 and E30bx
Visual camera integrated and extended temperature range
After the successful introduction of the FLIR E-Series in 2011, FLIR Systems is now launching an improved model of the FLIR E-Series entry model: FLIR E30 and E30bx.
Visual camera incorporated
The new FLIR E30 is now equipped with a visual camera. A visual image is often used as a reference against the thermal image. It clearly shows the people that need to do the actual repair where the problem is exactly located. The visual camera produces 2 Megapixel images. By pressing only one button the camera stores the thermal image and the visual image simultaneously. A LED-lamp installed on the front of the camera assures that good quality visual images can also be taken in darker environments. Just like all FLIR E-Series, the FLIR E30/E30bx is equipped with a laser pointer that will 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/E30bx 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 new FLIR E30 can measure temperatures between -20˚C and +350˚C.
The new FLIR E30bx can measure temperatures between -20˚C and +120˚C.
Rugged and easy-to-use The FLIR E30/E30bx is rugged to face everyday use in the most harsh environments. The vital inner core is well protected (IP54 rated). Extremely easy-to-use, all buttons for controlling the FLIR E30/E30bx are right underneath your fingertips. The large 3.5" LCD touchscreen shows clear thermal images and allows access to all camera features.

FLIR Systems launches new FLIR i-Series
More rugged and improved image quality for the same affordable price.
FLIR Systems wants to bring the advantages of thermal imaging cameras to as many users as possible. Therefore it is continuously introducing new and improved products to the market, at the best possible price. Today, FLIR Systems is launching improved versions of its successful FLIR i-Series thermal imaging cameras.
Industrial Version
The FLIR i-Series thermal imaging cameras are widely used for electrical and mechanical inspections. Electrical installations tend to heat before they fail. By detecting potential problem areas with a thermal imaging camera like the FLIR i-Series, installations can be inspected and breakdowns avoided. When going undetected these problems can even cause fire.
Building Version
The FLIR i-Series thermal imaging cameras are widely used for building inspections. Energy losses,
wet areas, mold build-up, leaks in roofs, underlying constructions, problems with HVAC installations,
it can all be seamlessly detected with the help of a thermal imaging camera.
Affordable price
Although all FLIR i-Series have been drastically improved, FLIR Systems is still marketing them at the same affordable prices as before. The entry model, FLIR i3, is available for only £ 895 (ex. VAT). Price is not an issue anymore to put the power of thermal imaging to work. The FLIR i3 is affordable for every electrician or building inspector.
Extremely rugged
Withstanding a 2 meter drop The new FLIR i-Series are meeting the requests of our demanding customers. The new FLIR i3, i5 and i7 are extremely rugged cameras. The thermal imaging cameras withstand a two meter drop. Users no longer have to be afraid of damaging their camera while working in harsh working environments. Dust and watersplashproof, the FLIR i-Series are IP43 rated.
Improved image quality
The FLIR i3 comes with the same image quality as before. It produces thermal images of 60x60 pixels. The image quality of the FLIR i5 and FLIR i7 has been improved. The FLIR i5 has a thermal image quality of 100 x 100 pixels. This is an image quality improvement of 56% in comparison with the former FLIR i5. The thermal image quality of the FLIR i7 is 140 x 140 pixels. This is an increase in resolution of 36%. More pixels allow the user to see more detail and to detect more thermal anomalies.
