FLIR TG165-X
MSX® Thermal Camera
The FLIR TG165-X helps you visualize the hot and cold spots that can indicate electrical faults, mechanical breakdowns, or air and water leaks. This all-in-one, non-contact measurement and imaging tool displays temperature anomalies on screen, letting you inspect efficiently and pinpoint the source of problems faster than with a single-spot IR thermometer. See components clearly and even read labels thanks to FLIR patented MSX® image enhancement, which adds visual detail to full thermal images. The bullseye laser ensures you’re always targeting the right component for measurement, while 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 a rechargeable Li-ion battery, the FLIR TG165-X is ready to go right out of the box.
Key Features
- Dramatically reduces inspection and diagnostic time
- Easily view live images on the 2.4-in. display and see into dark or hard-to-reach areas with the bright LED worklight
- Target the area you’re measuring using the bullseye laser pointer and capture thermal MSX® and visual images with a simple trigger-pull
- Speed inspections with a thermal view that tells you instantly whether a target is overheating, with measurements up to 300°C (572°F)
