Description

The FLIR T530 Professional Thermal Camera has the features professionals need to accurately troubleshoot hot spots and potential faults. With the 180° rotating lens platform and a bright 4″ LCD, the FLIR T530 is engineered to help users diagnose hard-to-reach components in any environment. Advanced on-camera measurement tools, laser-assisted autofocus, and FLIR’s industry-leading image quality ensure you’ll find and diagnose problems quickly. With on-board Inspection Route mode, you can download and run survey plans to your camera from FLIR Thermal Studio Pro.

Safely diagnose potential faults with a portable, ergonomic FLIR T530 Thermal Camera . Paired with a FLIR FlexView™ dual field-of-view lens, FLIR T530 cameras give you the convenience to instantly switch from wide-area to telephoto scanning without changing the lens. Streamline industrial, electrical, and mechanical surveys and repairs with Inspection Route mode, which runs pre-planned routes created in FLIR Thermal Studio Pro. Record temperature data and imagery in a logical sequence for more efficient troubleshooting and repair scheduling, then upload images directly to the FLIR Ignite cloud for secure storage, sharing, and importing into Thermal Studio.

Make critical decisions quickly

Advanced imaging technology and high sensitivity help professionals make the right call – fast.

  • Change from wide area scanning to telephoto instantly with the FlexView™ dual field-of-view lens
  • Get industry-leading image clarity from Vision Processing™ through the power of patented MSX®, UltraMax®, and proprietary adaptive filtering
  • Use the laser distance measurement tool to effortlessly transfer precise object distance data into your reports
  • Match the visual camera’s field of view with up to 320 x 240 thermal resolution, delivering 307,200 radiometric non-contact temperature measurement points, using UltraMax® resolution enhancement

Maximize efficiency, safety, and performance

Assess equipment and prevent component failure safely from any vantage point.

  • Target overhead components with less strain thanks to the 180° rotating optical block
  • Share lenses (wide angle to telephoto) across a fleet of cameras with AutoCal™ optics
  • Ensure precision measurement with laser-assisted autofocus and 1-Touch Level/Span
  • Make decisions easily with an LCD display that’s 33% brighter and 4x the resolution of comparable cameras

Tools to make the job easier

Organize findings in the field with built-in navigation and reporting features.

  • Quickly access menus, folders, and settings using intuitive controls, including rapid response touchscreen and two programmable buttons
  • Streamline inspections by downloading survey routes from Thermal Studio Pro to the cameras*†
  • Upload and organize images to Ignite cloud for secure storage, sharing, and importing to reports‡
  • Prepare precise documentation with embedded GPS locations as well as measurement data from METERLiNK®-enabled FLIR clamp meters and multimeters

Storage capacity

When you save an image, the camera stores the image file on the memory card. The size of an image file (with no annotations) is typically less than 1000 kB. Thus, the capacity of a 8 GB memory card is approximately 8000 images. Note: Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another type of camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card. There is therefore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different types of cameras.
