The K-Series enables fire fighters to see through smoke. This helps them to find victims in smoke filled rooms and to see if a fire is burning behind a wall. This knowledge can help them to avoid dan- gerous “back drafts”. For these applications infrared camera world market leader Flir Systems now offers the Flir K50 (320 x 240 pixels) and the Flir K40 (240 x 180 pixels) – both have a large bright 4” display and feature 5 different color modes for every situation.
The K-series withstands a drop from 2 meters on a concrete floor, is water resistant to IP67 and fully operating up to +85 °C and up to 260 °C for 5 minutes – and it can be operated with fire fighters gloves. Flir offers 2 years warranty on the camera and 10 years on the detector.
