FLIR AX8
Thermal Imaging Camera For Continuous Condition and
Safety Monitoring
FLIR A X8 is a thermal sensor with imaging capabilities. Combining thermal
and visual cameras in a small, affordable package, the A X8 provides
continuous temperature monitoring and alarming for of critical electrical and
mechanical equipment.
The AX8 helps you guard against unplanned outages, service interruptions,
and equipment failure. You’ll get the benets of continuous condition
monitoring and hot spot detection without the need for periodic manual
scans.
Compact and easy to install, AX8 provides continuous monitoring of electrical
cabinets, process and manufacturing areas, data centers, energy generation
and distribution, transportation and mass transit, storage facilities and
refrigeration warehouses.
AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS AND ALARMS
With its streaming video output, the A X8 not only gives you live video of
every installation, but it also provides automated alarming when pre-set
temperature thresholds are exceeded as well as temperature trend analysis.
INDUSTRIAL PROTOCOL
Since FLIR AX8 is Ethernet/ IP and Modbus TCP compliant analysis and alarm
results can easily be shared to a PLC. Digital inputs/outputs are available for
alarms and control of external equipment. An image masking function allows
you to select only the relevant part of the image for your analysis.
Loose Connection
Continuous monitoring of a motor.
COMPACT & EASY TO INSTALL
Combining thermal and visual cameras in a small, affordable package, the
AX8 measures only 5 4 x 25 x 95 mm, making it easy to install in spaceconstrained areas for uninterrupted condition monitoring of critical electrical
and mechanical equipment.
MULTIPLE VIDEO OPTIONS
With A X8, you can view its thermal imagery, visible light imagery, or the two
combined into FLIR’s proprietar y, patent pending MSX multispectral dynamic
imaging. MSX provides image detail from the visible camera embossed on
the thermal image, giving you, sharper edge detail, the ability to read labels
and better contextual awareness
