About FLIR VS290-21
The FLIR VS290 is an industrial thermal and visual videoscope system designed to help professionals quickly and safely find hidden faults and dangers in difficult-to-access locations. Featuring a 160 120 true thermal imager and FLIR MSX (VSC-IR32 and VSC-IR33 probes), VS290 videoscopes give users the power to see and measure invisible hot spots before catastrophic equipment failures can occur. The small, sleek tips allow for easy inspection through tight or confined openings, improving productivity and reducing diagnostic time. The 2-meter side-viewing probe options are CAT IV 600V safety ratedperfect for underground electrical vault inspections. The 1-meter forward-viewing probe is a practical fit for general purpose equipment and building thermal scans. All are versatile tools for the most demanding environments in utility, manufacturing, and building maintenance applications.Enhanced Dual-Imaging CapabilityBenefit from both thermal and visual inspection features with the FLIR VS290-21. Effortlessly switch between thermal imaging for temperature measurement and visual mode for detailed inspections, or combine them with MSX to overlay key details. This dual-functionality makes identifying faults and anomalies within electrical or mechanical systems much more effective.
Robust Design for Industrial EnvironmentsBuilt to thrive in harsh conditions, the VS290-21 features a probe with IP67 protection and a main unit rated at IP54, safeguarding the instrument against dust and water ingress. Its rugged casing, drop-tested from 2 meters, ensures equipment longevity even in demanding industrial sites and outdoor utility inspections.
Comprehensive Data Storage and ConnectivityWith 8 GB of internal memory capable of holding up to 50,000 images, the VS290-21 simplifies evidence gathering and documentation. Instant transfer of images is possible via USB-C or WiFi, streamlining reporting processes and integration with inspection workflows. The user-friendly interface supports multiple languages for global versatility.
