MSX® THERMAL CAMERA
FLIR TG165-X
™
The FLIR TG165-X dramatically reduces inspection and 
diagnostic time by helping you visually pinpoint the source 
of electrical, mechanical, and HVAC/R system faults. Instead 
of searching for temperature anomalies with a single-spot 
IR thermometer, this non-contact temperature measurement 
and imaging tool displays a thermal picture of your target 
including any hot spots or cold zones that could indicate 
a problem. See wires or components clearly and even read 
labels thanks to FLIR patented MSX image enhancement, 
which adds visual details to full thermal images. The 
bullseye laser helps ensure you’re always targeting the 
right component for measurement while the drop-tested, 
portable design with easy-to-use buttons and settings 
help you complete the job quickly and stress-free. With 
internal storage for up to 50,000 images and rechargeable 
Li-ion battery, the FLIR TG165-X is ready to go right out of 
the box.

PINPOINT THE SOURCE 
OF SYSTEM FAILURES
Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and building issues 
with this handheld thermal imager
• See temperature anomalies immediately in the 
thermal image instead of searching for them with 
a single-spot IR thermometer 
• Speed inspections with a thermal view that tells 
you instantly whether a target has overheating 
components or hidden air leaks
• Measure a wide range of temperatures, from 
-25°C to 300°C (-13°F to 572°F), with an accuracy 
of up to ±1.5°C (±3°F)
COMPLETE INSPECTIONS 
QUICK LY & EASILY
See the detail needed to troubleshoot faults and 
gauge their severity
• Interpret images faster and easier with MSX® 
two-camera technology, which enhances thermal 
images with crisp visual details 
• Identify the exact area that you’re measuring 
using the bullseye laser pointer
• Capture thermal MSX or visual images plus 
temperature readings with a simple trigger-pull
