FLIR E50 Compact Infrared Camera

The FLIR E50 is a sophisticated point-and-shoot infrared camera that combines the best performance and value in compact thermal imaging cameras. Designed to fit beautifully into your IR inspection program, budget, and the palm of your hand, the E50 quickly pays for itself by identifying electrical, mechanical, or building envelope issues before a failure occurs or an expensive tear-down is required.

The E50 is easy to use right out of the box and offers a temperature range of -20 to 650°C (-4 to 1202°F) with an accuracy of ±2% and a thermal sensitivity of < 0.05°C. The 240 x 180 resolution provides impressive infrared image quality and a 3.1 megapixel digital camera provides fixed picture-in-picture imaging which allows the overlay of thermal and visible images for easy location identification and clearer documentation. Multi-Spectral Dynamic (MSX) imaging makes the interpretation of those digital images simpler by adding visible spectrum definition to IR images by detecting the edges of objects and including that detail in the thermal image making text more clearly visible so that users can read a label or identifier within the IR image. This exclusive function provides extraordinary thermal detail that instantly highlights and orients problem locations and eliminates the need to refer back to a visual image for detail. The manual focus lens has 4x continuous digital zoom and provides a 25° x 19° field of view.

The FLIR E50 thermal imager includes a bright, 3.5" landscape touchscreen which provides an intuitive interface for the camera and takes full advantage of the display with no image cropping. The touchscreen can be used to control 3 box areas and 3 movable spots which allows users to gather more detailed temperature information. Composite video and USB-mini outputs make it easy to stream video. Radiometric JPEG images are stored on an SD card. An annotation feature allows users to add voice comments via Bluetooth headset and text notes from the touchscreen keypad.

The E50 is equipped with a number of advanced communications options. It can be linked via Wi-Fi to a smartphone or tablet with a simple download of FLIR Tools Mobile. This allows users to transfer images, add further measurement spots, readjust span and level, change palettes, create reports, and email findings to decision makers easily. The E50 also includes MeterLink to wirelessly transmit vital diagnostic data from clamp and moisture meters directly to the camera for annotating thermal images to further support findings and decisions.
