Welcome!

Thank you for choosing the ThermaCAM™ P65 HS infrared camera.
The ThermaCAM™ P65 HS infrared condition monitoring system consists of an infrared
camera with a built-in 36 mm lens, a visual color camera, a laser pointer, an IrDA (in-
3
frared communications link), a 4" color LCD on a removable remote control, and a
range of accessories. The infrared camera measures and images the emitted infrared
radiation from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temper-
ature makes it possible for the camera to calculate and show this temperature.
The ThermaCAM™ P65 HS camera is dust- and splash-proof and tested for shock
and vibration for use in the most demanding field conditions. It is a handheld, truly
portable camera, which is lightweight and operates for more than two hours on one
battery pack. A high-resolution color image (infrared & visual) is provided in real-time
either in the integral viewfinder or on the remote control LCD.
The camera is very easy to use and is operated by using a few buttons which are
conveniently placed on the camera, allowing fingertip control of major functions. A
built-in menu system also gives easy access to the advanced, simple-to-use camera
software for increased functionality.
To document the object under inspection it is possible to capture and store images
on a removable CompactFlash card or in the camera's internal flash memory. It is also
possible to store, together with every image, voice comments by using the headset
connected to the camera, or text comments, by selecting these from a file with prede-
fined text comments. The images can be analyzed either in the field by using the real-
time measurement markers built into the camera software, or in a PC by using FLIR
Systems's software for infrared analysis and reporting.
The ThermaCAM™ P65 HS also features recording of infrared images at a very high
speed, using FireWire.
In the PC, the images can not only be viewed and analyzed, but the voice comments
can also be played back. FLIR Systems's software makes it very easy to create
complete survey reports (containing numerous infrared images, photos, tables etc.)
from the inspections.
