Introduction
Thank you for choosing a FLIR GFx3xx series camera from FLIR Systems.
The FLIR GFx3xx series camera is an infrared camera for optical gas imaging (OGI) in
explosive atmospheres that visualizes and pinpoints leaks of methane and other volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), without the need to shut down the operation. The portable
camera also greatly improves operator safety, by detecting emissions at a safe distance,
and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks of environmentally harmful gases.
The FLIR GFx3xx series camera is used in industrial settings such as oil refineries, natural gas processing plants, offshore platforms, chemical/petrochemical industries, and biogas and power generation plants.
Main features:
• Certified for use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Improved efficiency: The FLIR GFx320 reduces revenue loss by pinpointing gas
leaks quickly and efficiently, and from a distance. It also reduces the inspection time
by allowing a broad area to be scanned rapidly and without the need to interrupt the
industrial process. The FLIR GFx320 is also used for temperature measurement,
which makes it even more useful for predictive maintenance.
• Increased worker safety: OGI allows gas leaks to be detected in a non-contact
mode and from a safe distance. This reduces the risk of the user being exposed to invisible and potentially harmful or explosive chemicals. With a FLIR GFx320 gas imaging camera it is easy to scan areas of interest that are difficult to reach with
conventional methods. The camera is ergonomically designed, with a bright LCD and
tiltable viewfinder, which facilitates its use over a full working day.
• Protecting the environment: Several VOCs are dangerous to human health or
cause harm to the environment, and are usually governed by regulations. Even small
leaks can be detected and documented using the FLIR GFx320 camera.

16.8Changing object parameters
16.8.1 General
For accurate measurements, you must set the object parameters. You can do this locally
or globally. This procedure describes how to change the object parameters globally.
16.8.2 Types of parameters
The camera can use these object parameters:
• Emissivity, i.e., how much radiation an object emits, compared to the radiation of a
theoretical reference object of the same temperature (called a “blackbody”). The opposite of emissivity is reflectivity. The emissivity determines how much of the radiation
originates from the object as opposed to being reflected by it.
• Reflected apparent temperature, which is used when compensating for the radiation
from the surroundings reflected by the object into the camera. This property of the object is called reflectivity.
• Object distance, i.e., the distance between the camera and the object of interest.
• Atmospheric temperature, i.e., the temperature of the air between the camera and the
object of interest.
• Relative humidity, i.e., the relative humidity of the air between the camera and the ob-
ject of interest.
• External optics temperature, i.e., the temperature of any protective windows etc. that
are set up between the camera and the object of interest. If no protective window or
protective shield is used, this value is irrelevant.
• External optics transmission, i.e., the optical transmission of any protective windows,
etc. that are set up between the camera and the object of interest.
16.8.3 Recommended values
If you are unsure about the values, the following values are recommended:
Emissivity0.95
Distance1.0 m (3.3 ft.)
Reflected apparent temperature
Relative humidity50%
Atmospheric
temperature
+20°C (+69°F)

1. Turn the mode wheel to
2. Push the
button to display a menu.
or.
3. Move the joystick left/right to go to the Edit tab.
4. Move the joystick up/down to select Object parameters.
5. Push the joystick to display a dialog box.
6. Move the joystick up/down to select the parameter you want to change, then push
the joystick.
7. Move the joystick up/down to change the value, then push the joystick.

Achieving a good image16
8. Push the
button to confirm and leave the setup mode.
Note
• Of the seven parameters above, emissivity and reflected apparent temperature are
the two most important to set correctly in the camera.
• To change object parameters locally, first select a measurement tool in the toolbox,
then select Use local parameters. Change the local parameters by selecting Edit localparameters, then edit them in the same way as for global object parameters.

20.4Changing object parameters
20.4.1 General
For accurate measurements, you must set the object parameters. You can do this locally
or globally. This procedure describes how to change the object parameters globally.
20.4.2 Types of parameters
The camera can use these object parameters:
• Emissivity, i.e., how much radiation an object emits, compared to the radiation of a
theoretical reference object of the same temperature (called a “blackbody”). The opposite of emissivity is reflectivity. The emissivity determines how much of the radiation
originates from the object as opposed to being reflected by it.
• Reflected apparent temperature, which is used when compensating for the radiation
from the surroundings reflected by the object into the camera. This property of the object is called reflectivity.
• Object distance, i.e., the distance between the camera and the object of interest.
• Atmospheric temperature, i.e., the temperature of the air between the camera and the
object of interest.
• Relative humidity, i.e., the relative humidity of the air between the camera and the ob-
ject of interest.
• External optics temperature, i.e., the temperature of any protective windows etc. that
are set up between the camera and the object of interest. If no protective window or
protective shield is used, this value is irrelevant.
#T810169; r. AN/42241/42268; en-US
64
Working with measurement tools20
• External optics transmission, i.e., the optical transmission of any protective windows,
etc. that are set up between the camera and the object of interest.
20.4.3 Recommended values
If you are unsure about the values, the following values are recommended:
Emissivity0.95
Distance1.0 m (3.3 ft.)
Reflected apparent temperature
Relative humidity50%
Atmospheric
temperature
+20°C (+69°F)
+20°C (+69°F)
20.4.4 Procedure
Follow this procedure to change the object parameters globally:
1. Turn the mode wheel to
2. Push the
button to display a menu.
or.
3. Move the joystick left/right to go to the Edit tab.
4. Move the joystick up/down to select Object parameters.
5. Push the joystick to display a dialog box.
6. Move the joystick up/down to select the parameter you want to change, then push
the joystick.
7. Move the joystick up/down to change the value, then push the joystick.
8. Push the
button to confirm and leave the setup mode.
Note
• Of the seven parameters above, emissivity and reflected apparent temperature are
the two most important to set correctly in the camera.
• To change object parameters locally, first select a measurement tool in the toolbox,
then select Use local parameters. Change the local parameters by selecting Edit localparameters, then edit them in the same way as for global object parameters.

24.4FLIR GFx320 14.5° fixed lens
P/N: 74902-0101
Rev.: 41315
General description
The FLIR GFx320 is an infrared camera for optical gas imaging (OGI) in explosive atmospheres that
visualizes and pinpoints leaks of methane and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), without the
need to shut down the operation. The portable camera also greatly improves operator safety, by detecting emissions at a safe distance, and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks of environmentally harmful gases.
The FLIR GFx320 is used in industrial settings such as oil refineries, natural gas processing plants, offshore platforms, chemical/petrochemical industries, and biogas and power generation plants.
Benefits:
• Certified for use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Improved efficiency: The FLIR GFx320 reduces revenue loss by pinpointing gas leaks quickly and
efficiently, and from a distance. It also reduces the inspection time by allowing a broad area to be
scanned rapidly and without the need to interrupt the industrial process. The FLIR GFx320 is also
used for temperature measurement, which makes it even more useful for predictive maintenance.
• Increased worker safety: OGI allows gas leaks to be detected in a non-contact mode and from a
safe distance. This reduces the risk of the user being exposed to invisible and potentially harmful or
explosive chemicals. With a FLIR GFx320 gas imaging camera it is easy to scan areas of interest
that are difficult to reach with conventional methods. The camera is ergonomically designed, with a
bright LCD and tiltable viewfinder, which facilitates its use over a full working day.
• Protecting the environment: Several VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environment, and are usually governed by regulations. Even small leaks can be detected and documented using the FLIR GFx320 camera.
