Teledyne FLIR Expands VS290 Thermal Camera Videoscope Family with Two Kits, Probe Attachments
Teledyne FLIR has introduced two additions to its VS290 Thermal Videoscope Kit family of devices — the VS290-33 Thermal MSX Videoscope Kit and the VS29-21 Thermal Videoscope Kit. The VS290-21 provides thermal-only building, mechanical, and electrical inspection capabilities for hard-to-reach areas from crawlspaces to inside motors for construction and maintenance professionals. The VS290-33 features a rounded, dual thermal-visible probe for increased flexibility in conducting underground utility-vault inspection and other high-voltage scenarios that require a CAT IV rating.
Along with the new VS290 Videoscope Kits, Teledyne FLIR is offering the VSC-IR33 and VSC-IR21 probe attachments as accessories for existing VS290 customers who already have the VS290 kit with the original VSC-IR32 probe with rectangular tip.
The rounded VSC-IR33 dual thermal-visible probe is 19 millimeters in diameter, meaning it can fit within tight spaces and holes without sacrificing side-viewing capabilities. The probe houses both a 160-by-120 thermal camera and a two-megapixel visible camera, along with a bright LED work light, to provide MSX imagery in both light and dark spaces. FLIR’s proprietary MSX (Multispectral Dynamic Imaging) on-camera software takes key details from the visible image and embosses them on the thermal image, providing perspective and crucial contextual clues to help users assess potential issues accurately and safely.
