FLIR Cx5

Graphic
High-res image, RGB color space, 1000 px wide

General description

  
The FLIR Cx5 is certified for use in many explosive environments, eliminating the need to acquire hot work permits due to gas, vapor, and dust, while making T-Class surveys quick and easy.
With FLIR MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) and 1-Touch Level/Span, the Cx5 can help you identify potential problems quickly to improve plant performance. The 3.5-inch touchscreen interface is simple to use, and 160 × 120 thermal resolution gives you accurate temperature measurement of nearby targets. Built-in FLIR Ignite™ cloud service provides direct data transfer, storage, and backup, so images are always available and securely stored on all your devices. With the FLIR Cx5 in your toolbox, you’ll always be ready to investigate mechanical and electrical equipment around your production site.
