FLIR VS290 Thermal MSX Videoscope Kit (Choice of Probes)

Teledyne FLIR VS290 Thermal MSX Videoscope Kit

The Teledyne FLIR VS290 thermal MSX videoscope kit is a visual and thermal imaging unit designed to allow professionals to inspect inaccessible areas in a quick, safe and accurate fashion. The VS290 supports three different probe attachments. Each probe is easy to manoeuvre with impressively small dimensions, 1-2M length and a 57° * 44° IR FOV. Difficult-to-access locations including gearboxes, motors, attics, crawl spaces and electrical vaults can be viewed with ease. By providing access to these troublesome enclosed spaces, the VS290 reduces diagnostic times and drives efficiency.

With options that include a 2MP resolution visual camera and 160 x 120 true thermal imager, the VS290 provides a clear and accurate image of any environment, delivered through a hand-held 3.5 inch/320*340 resolution display. A temperature measurement range of -10 to 400°C and accuracy of ± 3°C (0 to 100°C) or ± 3% (100 to 400°C), combined with a <100mK thermal sensitivity provides the VS290 with a wide range of industrial applications. The unit also sports a cold-spot and hot-spot detection mode, instantly highlighting the coldest or hottest location within the scanned environment.

The colour screen can display in a range of colour pallets including: iron, rainbow, grey and colour alarm. The isothermal colour alarm system/pallet allows the user to select specific temperature points as being below or above a desired alarm value, the display then presents the environment using a blue (below alarm value) or red (above alarm value) colour pallet, instantly highlighting any temperatures that may be a cause for concern.

The FLIR VS290 is designed to improve workflow through efficiency and robustness. The field-replaceable probe attachment means that the unit can be disassembled quickly and easily on-site. The rugged IP67 rated camera tip and IP54 rated base unit make the VS290 the prefect tool for harsher industrial environments, capable of resisting ingress of dust particle matter and water. The included wrist-strap and hard case provide an additional layer of damage prevention. The removable 16GB memory card and USB-C cable make it easy for users to share and store collected video and photo content. This unit also boasts an impressive 5-hour battery life, all while operating with maximum screen brightness and a powerful LED worklight throughout. An intuitive menu system and integrated gallery enables users to quickly begin realising the productivity benefits of the VS290.

The FLIR VS290 is a highly capable tool suitable for a range of manufacturing, building and utility environments. A well-considered design means several integrated features drive improvements in workflow and efficiency of the user, while a strong selection of additional inclusions such as a hard carry-case and strap complement an already rugged and versatile videoscope kit.

Probe Attachment Options

The VS290 has a choice of three compatible probe attachments. Below is a glossary and comparison table, to ensure the correct choice of probe.

Probe tip shape – Shape of the end of the attachment, where the probe containing the camera unit is located.

Tip diameter – Total diameter of the probe tip at the widest point. This impacts the size/shape of spaces in which the probe will fit.

Probe length – The total length of the attachment with a central flex point.

Tip viewing angle – The angle at which the camera points in relation to the to the tip. A Forward viewing angle provides a view directly ahead of the probe tip, while side viewing angle provides a view at 90° from the probe tip.

Thermal camera – FLIR’s Thermal MSX imaging technology.

Visual camera – Non-thermal video technology.

Worklight – A bright LED worklight to illuminate the probed space.
