THE WORLD STANDARD FOR IR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Based on the technology of FLIR Systems’ highly successful
AGEMA 570 Series, the first microbolometer-based
thermographic system, FLIR now enters the next generation
of uncooled IR camera technology – introducing the
ThermaCAM PM 595 high performance uncooled longwave
FPA infrared predictive maintenance system. Featuring new
electronics, sensor technology, and double the processor
speed, the PM 595 stands unchallenged in its ability to
meet the needs of any predictive maintenance program.

In business today, it’s all about reaching for the next
level of productivity, improving efficiency, maximizing
yields, and building the skills of your staff. Making this
happen isn’t easy. Tens of thousands of maintenance
professionals around the world have learned that by
applying modern technology to their problems, they can be
more effective. FLIR Systems understands this, and for
more than 33 years, continues to pioneer the advancement
of high performance infrared cameras specifically for
solving predictive maintenance problems.

Whatever the need, there is a ThermaCAM system
right for any application and budget with a wide
range of models to choose from. Best of all,
ThermaCAM models are upgradeable, so
the system bought today will meet
the predictive maintenance
requirements of tomorrow.

MAINTENANCE-FREE UNCOOLED DETECTOR

Patented solid state microbolometer sensor needs
no cryogenic cooling, making it the simplest, most
reliable IR camera technology available.

HIGH DEFINITION LONGWAVE PERFORMANCE

Superb image quality, high precision measurement
accuracy and longwave solar reflection immunity
provide outstanding performance for most all
predictive maintenance applications.

POINT-AND-SHOOT SIMPLICITY

Fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand, the
lightweight ThermaCAM PM 595 requires one
button press to obtain perfectly adjusted thermal
images. A second button stores images to the
removable PCMCIA memory card.

DIGITAL IMAGE, VOICE, AND TEXT ANNOTATION

Speed surveys and accurately record and report
details with fail-safe image and data storage.
Embed up to 30 seconds of voice annotation with
each image file. Select automatic report text in
the field from pre-loaded choices in the camera.

SETS THE PACE FOR THERMOGRAPHIC INSPECTIONS,
OFFERING UNIQUE CAMERA AND SOFTWARE
CAPABILITIES TO MAKE YOUR PREDICTIVE AND
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TASKS EASIER, FASTER,
AND MORE ACCURATE.

POWERFUL FEATURES
SPEED INFRARED SAVINGS

Making infrared thermography work successfully as a predictive maintenance tool is simple. Nearly everything that uses or
transmits power gets hot before it fails. With the new ThermaCAM, seeing and documenting this change in temperature is as
easy as using a home camcorder.

EXPERIENCE INFRARED PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE SAVINGS THROUGHOUT YOUR FACILITY

Putting the ThermaCAM PM 595 to work finding energy savings and avoiding costly downtime is fast and easy. The
ThermaCAM’s ease-of-use and versatility can be rapidly applied to a wide variety of money-saving applications, indoors and

out. Simple point-and-shoot operation gets you clear, informative images of potential problem areas. A comprehensive
array of application-specific accessories fine tunes the camera’s performance for most any target size or distance. Compare
the ThermaCAM’s versatility with any other IR camera, and understand why the ThermaCAM is

#1 with plant engineers.

temperature measurements, indoors and outdoors, regardless
of weather.

VIEW HIGH DEFINITION IMAGES ON AN
INTERCHANGEABLE VIEWFINDER OR LCD SCREEN

Choose a display option that is best suited for a particular environment or
viewing preference! ThermaCAM PM 595 produces crisp, highly detailed images
that can be viewed on an large-format LCD panel or high-resolution viewfinder.
Either option is powered by the camera and provides a full range of
adjustability for any viewing angle.

POINT-AND-SHOOT OPERATION

With dedicated automatic functions accessed by buttons
under your fingertips, ThermaCAM PM 595 is the easiest
IR camera to get results from. The camera features an
intuitive multi-lingual interface and innovative
features for instant recognition of critical
temperatures and alarm conditions. InstALERTTM,
a new, semi-transparent isotherm feature,
quickly highlights and categorizes
problem areas, while also viewing the
fine details of a thermal condition.

CAPTURE THE DETAILS WITH
DIGITAL IMAGE, VOICE,
AND TEXT ANNOTATION

Speed through surveys
accurately recording and
reporting details with fail-safe
image and data storage. Embed
up to 30 seconds of voice
annotation with each image file using
VoiceTrak™, ThermaCAM PM 595’s built-in,
digital, voice-recording system. Store images
with confidence that all the thermal data has
been captured using ThermaCAM’s 14-bit dynamic
range. Finish up by selecting report text directly in
the field by using ThermaCAM’s on-board text selections
from your own pre-defined lists. All data is stored directly
inside the image file for later recall.

WIZARD-GUIDED REPORT GENERATION SYSTEM

No one else gets you from the field to final report faster than FLIR Systems. The seamless

integration of the ThermaCAM PM 595 camera and ThermaCAM ReporterTMSoftware ensures that

field inspection data is quickly transformed into a maintenance report. Microsoft Windows®-based

and simple to use, ThermaCAM Reporter integrates powerful image-analysis and report-generation

tools enabling you to automatically format both simple and multi-page reports, as well as perform

detailed analysis and trending. Wizard functions guide you step-by-step through the reporting

process, allowing even occasional users to generate professional reports.

PRECISION TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

Built-in intelligence makes accurate measurements a snap with the ThermaCAM.

The PM 595 auto adjusts temperature level and span to deliver the best image possible.

Its automatic calibration system uses four internal temperature references, automatic
lens identification, and advanced mathematical algorithms to ensure industry leading

measurement performance in most environmental conditions. And the ThermaCAM’s

innovative Emissivity QuickSelectTMtakes the guess-work out of selecting

emissivity values by providing a pre-customized drop-down list of

common materials to be inspected.

ONE-HANDED CORDLESS OPERATION

The lightweight ThermaCAM PM 595 fits comfortably

in the palm of your hand and requires no

external cables to operate. Whether you have

to climb ladders, work in confined spaces or

operate from a vehicle, the 595’s compact
ergonomic design will be right at home in

your environment. Instant-on operation and

helpful default settings make the PM 595 easy

for even novice thermographers to use.

INTELLIGENT POWER SYSTEM

For reliable, uninterrupted operation in the field,

ThermaCAM uses long-life NiMH batteries which are

contained in a fully sealed internal compartment and

provide over two hours of continuous use. An

intelligent four bay battery charging system is

included with the camera that charges a

battery in approximately one hour.
