FLIR Systems Korea announced that it will participate in the 2018 International Electric Power Exhibition (Global Electric Power Tech 2018) being held at COEX in Samseong-dong from May 30 (Wednesday) to June 1 (Friday), introducing various industrial infrared thermal imaging camera products.

At this exhibition, FLIR will provide virtual reality (VR) experience opportunities for major thermal imaging camera products, enabling users to more effectively utilize these equipment in the field of safety diagnosis and fire monitoring of electrical and mechanical facilities.
The exhibited products are diverse in terms of function and performance, ranging from FLIR ONE, a mobile accessory that can be attached to smartphones or tablet PCs to utilize thermal imaging camera functionality, to FLIR C-Series compact thermal imaging cameras, portable Ex- and Exx-Series, professional Txx-Series, and thermal imaging cameras for drones.

FLIR ONE Pro is the latest model among the FLIR ONE series released to date, integrating FLIR's proprietary MSX® patented technology and VividIR™ video signal processing technology to provide superior thermal image quality and clarity compared to existing products. It also provides advanced features available only through the FLIR ONE app, such as multiple spot temperature measurement points and selectable on-screen temperature tracking areas.

The FLIR C-Series compact thermal imaging system can be conveniently carried in a pocket, allowing workers to immediately diagnose invisible overheated areas, structural problems, piping issues, and abnormalities in air conditioning systems at any time. In particular, the latest C3 model is designed to transmit thermal images to smartphones or tablet PCs via Wi-Fi wireless connection, enabling users to share thermal images with colleagues or clients.

The FLIR E-Series not only implements clear thermal image quality with MSX technology but is also conveniently designed so that even when wearing thick fireproof gloves, users can operate various functions with a single thumb, such as autofocus lens and screen settings, imaging modes, measurement tools, and saved JPEG selection. It features a center spot meter function for rapid temperature measurement, and depending on the model, provides area box tools for automatic hotspot/coldspot detection, color alarm functions with red at the top and blue at the bottom. It supports detachable lithium-ion batteries for easy removal and charging.

The FLIR Exx-Series is a premium upgrade of the Ex-Series with more powerful and new features added. Through laser-assisted autofocus functionality, high-speed and high-precision continuous focusing is possible, allowing accurate identification of hot spots even in complex scenes. The clear 4-inch LCD display offers a wide 160° viewing angle and supports capacitive touchscreen functionality and convenient menu buttons, enabling users to easily operate the camera with one hand. The temperature measurement range has been expanded to provide diverse temperature measurement ranges depending on the model: -20°C ~ 120°C, 0°C ~ 650°C, and 300°C ~ 1500°C.

The newly launched FLIR T500-Series is equipped with all necessary features for professionals to accurately locate hotspots and potentially problematic areas and to solve problems. By utilizing advanced measurement tools displayed on the camera screen, laser-assisted autofocus functionality, and superior image quality based on FLIR's patented imaging processing technology, users can quickly identify problems in buildings or electrical systems. The FLIR T530/T540 cameras feature a 180° rotating lens platform and a bright and clear 4-inch LCD supporting a maximum resolution of 464 x 348 (161,472), enabling engineers to diagnose hard-to-reach areas regardless of the work environment. Usability has been further enhanced by providing intuitive menu configuration, capacitive touchscreen, and two customizable buttons.

A FLIR Systems Korea official stated, "Safety management of electrical power systems and buildings is challenging and requires particular attention because inspection must extend to invisible areas. By utilizing FLIR's various industrial thermal imaging camera equipment, the accuracy and efficiency of such safety management work can be greatly improved." The official added, "At this exhibition, we have prepared VR demo experience opportunities not only for visitors to directly operate FLIR thermal imaging cameras but also to test the equipment in virtual reality. Through this, we hope that users will better understand how to use the equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of safety management work at actual job sites."
