FLIR E85

Building Applications

The FLIR E8524KIT Advanced Thermal Imaging Camera with MSX and UltraMax Technologies, 24° Lens and FLIR Tools+, 384 x 288, 30 Hz offers superior sensitivity and a true 42° field of view in a user-friendly, handheld platform with appropriate lenses (sold separately). This camera can detect even subtle indications of building deficiencies and moisture intrusion, and offers on-screen area measurement, so that you can easily quantify and document air leaks, moisture, and other building problems.

Work Safer

Your job can take you up ladders and into crawl-spaces, so you need tools that can be used one-handed and worry-free. FLIR designed E85-24-KIT to be tough enough to use every day, with simplified buttons and intuitive screens that allow you to focus on your work, instead of on the camera controls.

Work Smarter

The E85-24-KIT produces standard radiometric JPEGs that can be opened and viewed without proprietary software. Image files produced by the E85-24-KIT are supported by FLIR's Software Development Kit (ATLAS SDK), so that companies can use their own software and still support thermal measurement read-outs, METERLiNK data, and other important parameters embedded within the image; embedded current and voltage measurements are also accessible.

Electrical and Mechanical Applications

The FLIR E85-24-KIT offers the superior resolution and range performance needed to quickly identify hot spots and discover potential points of failure in electrical distribution and mechanical systems. With up to E85-24-KIT pixel resolution and a larger, more vibrant LCD screen, the E85-24-KIT makes it easier than ever to diagnose problems, even at a distance. Avoid costly shutdowns and lost production time through regular predictive maintenance routines with this rugged, intuitive camera.Multiple Targets, One Solution

Not every target is large enough or close enough for proper measurement with a single lens. That is why FLIR designed the E85-24-KIT with interchangeable 24°, 42°, and 14° lenses, so that you can use the same camera for every target you survey. The camera auto-calibrates with each new lens to ensure it produces high-quality images and precise thermal measurements.

MSX Technology

Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) Technology adds visible spectrum definition to IR images by detecting the edges of objects. Text becomes clearly visible so that you 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.

UltraMax Technology

UltraMax is an image enhancement technology in the E85-24-KIT that captures a series of thermal images and combines the data into one new image. The result is an impressive quadrupling of thermal pixels, including full radiometric measurement data.

As a result, UltraMax thermal images will be clearer and larger, allowing for a better analysis of small details. Because of an increased number of pixels covering the same target area, UltraMax also decreases measurement spot size. This gives greater measurement accuracy to particularly small details. With the new UltraMax feature, users can obtain even better results, allowing them to be even more productive.

UltraMax is a type of superresolution, a technique for combining the information from multiple original images into an image with higher resolution and less noise. This might seem similar to two other scaling techniques - interpolation and pixel averaging. However, they are totally different.

UltraMax uses the natural movement of the human body to capture an image set in which each image is slightly offset from the others. This results in a wealth of data that is much greater than any one image could provide. The data is combined to form an image that includes many more pixels of the target, resulting in a resolution greater than that of the original camera detector. The data is also used to create a clearer image, since pixel noise can be reduced through comparing similar points in multiple images.

FLIR UltraMax captures 16 thermal images in less than one second. These are stored on the camera as a single jpg file, and will appear as one image when viewed on the camera or in software. In the FLIR Tools environment, you can choose to enhance the image resolution. This is the UltraMax functionality. The enhanced image will have twice the original resolution and four times as many pixels. All pixels still include radiometric data, just as with normal FLIR thermal images.

As a result, UltraMax thermal images will be clearer and larger, allowing better analysis of small details. Because of an increased number of pixels covering the same target area, UltraMax also decreases measurement spot size. This gives greater measurement accuracy to particularly small details.
