AX8 thermal sensor<\/a><\/strong> allows the continuous monitoring of critical electrical infrastructure and the FLIR IRW Windows provide an easy and affordable option that reduce the cost and time associated with thermal inspection and add a safety barrier to protect the thermographer from arc flash accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEasy-to-install thermal imager for continuous condition monitoring\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe FLIR AX8 is a temperature sensor with thermal imaging capabilities, combining thermal and visual cameras into a compact, affordable package. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sensor provides continuous temperature monitoring and automated alarming when pre-set temperature thresholds are exceeded. It is designed to guard against unplanned outages, service interruptions and equipment failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measuring only 54 x 25 x 95mm, the AX8 is easy to install in tight spaces and consumes little power. It allows the user to view thermal images, visible light images, or the two combined thanks to FLIR\u2019s proprietary MSX\u00aemultispectral imaging capability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MSX provides image detail from the visible camera that is embedded onto the thermal image, giving exceptional image clarity and the ability to read labels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall it helps to put the problem in context for quicker diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enabled by FLIR\u2019s ground-breaking Lepton thermal imaging core, the AX8 has 4,800 active temperature points per image, provides streaming temperature data over industry-standard interfaces (Ethernet\/IP and Modbus TCP) for easy analysis, has a built-in web interface, and includes a full suite of analysis functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AX8 easily integrates into electrical installations or indeed any manufacturing environment. Its streaming thermal, visual, and MSX video is output in standard MJPEG, MPEG, H.264 formats, adding multipurpose image capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
