The FLIR Cx5 is certified for use in many explosive environments, eliminating the need to acquire hot work permits due to gas, vapor, and dust, while making T-Class surveys quick and easy. With FLIR MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) and 1-Touch Level/Span, the Cx5 can help you identify potential problems quickly to improve plant performance. The 3.5-inch touchscreen interface is simple to use, and 160 × 120 thermal resolution gives you accurate temperature measurement of nearby targets. Built-in FLIR Ignite™ cloud service provides direct data transfer, storage, and backup, so images are always available and securely stored on all your devices. With the FLIR Cx5 in your toolbox, you’ll always be ready to investigate mechanical and electrical equipment around your production site.

1. WORK SAFE

Potentially explosive environments, such as oil and gas plants or chemical plants, need to be protected from ignition sources. Electronic devices can be an ignition source, which is why – when used in these hot work environments – they need to comply with ATEX Product Regulations or similar regulations (e.g. UKEX and IECEx). The 160 x 120-pixel FLIR Cx5 is mounted in a rugged enclosure, preventing any potential ignition to enter the atmosphere. This enables users to work confidently in all safety.

2. MAKE FAST DECISIONS

In hot work environments, it’s critical for surveyors to be able to detect problems fast, so they can minimize their time on site. The FLIR Cx5 is not only robust and explosion-proof, but it’s also compact and very easy to use. This allows maintenance professionals to always have their cameras at hand, find hidden issues quickly, and reduce diagnostic time.

3. CARRY YOUR CAMERA ON THE JOB

The FLIR Cx5 camera has all the ruggedized features that will enable it to survive the toughest day on the job. The FLIR Cx5 case has shock absorbers and the lens is protected by a Germanium window with anti-reflective coating. The 3.5-inch color display is protected by armored glass and is touchscreen compatible. You can remove the rugged lanyard point in a safe environment to reach the data storage and charging port.

4. COMPLY WITH STANDARDS EASILY

ATEX-compliant cameras, such as gas imaging cameras, are typically situated in the higher price range. This makes them limitedly available for a larger workforce. Requesting such a camera typically requires outside help or at least lengthy application procedures and paperwork. With the FLIR Cx5, organizations can easily equip their teams with an affordable, ATEX-compliant thermal imager that allows them to inspect assets on a regular basis.

5. ENJOY FLIR THERMAL QUALITY

A robust, pocket-sized camera with the thermal image quality you are used to from FLIR? What’s not to like? The FLIR Cx5 features a FLIR Lepton® thermal imaging sensor and FLIR-patented MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) technology, which embosses visible scene details onto thermal images. This results in a crisp thermal image, enabling inspectors to pinpoint hidden problems instantly. In addition, FLIR Cx5 is compatible with FLIR Ignite, a secure cloud storage solution that allows users to directly upload, edit, organize and share their images, and with FLIR Thermal Studio, enabling them to finetune their images and create professional reports.
