Electrical/Mechanical Maintenance, Building Diagnostics and Vehicle Inspection Professionals All Set to
Benefit from the Rugged, Easy-to-Use Flir C8.
Flir, a Teledyne Technologies company, today launched the C8 thermal imaging camera, a new device set to
enhance compact thermal diagnostics with high-clarity, rapid results. Improvements to the new-generation
C8 include enhanced image quality, higher accuracy, improved sensitivity, and the addition of advanced
reporting templates within Flir Ignite Pro.
Traditional thermal inspections can be slow, unclear, and hard to document, relying on manual processes
that risk overlooking critical issues. The result of these inefficiencies can lead to higher maintenance costs,
delayed repairs, and reduced productivity. The Flir C8 solves these challenges with a rugged, easy-to-use
form factor that puts powerful, high-resolution thermography into the hands of users, ensuring accurate,
efficient, standardized inspections. In addition, technicians can integrate FLIR Ignite Pro cloud connectivity
and newly devised advanced reporting templates that not only streamline workflows and save time but also
support easy collaboration.
Get a Clear View
New capabilities for the Flir C8 include 320 x 240 thermal resolution and 35° horizontal field of view to
increase the number of pixels on the target and enhance image clarity. In combination with Flir’s patented
MSX® detail enhancement technology, sharp thermal images become the norm, in turn supporting faster
fault and anomaly detection for more accurate diagnostics.
“Users of our C8 can enjoy up to 40-50% quicker inspections, helping to cut labor and downtime costs,”
revealed John Gould, Director – Global Business Development – Condition Monitoring. “Identifying faults
faster and acting sooner reduces expensive outages and unplanned repairs, while confidence in consistent,
reliable results is assured thanks to high resolution and high thermal sensitivity. Furthermore, isotherm
alarms instantly highlight when temperatures cross set limits, helping users quickly identify potential issues”.
Reporting for Duty
Offering an easy way to document and share findings with others, C8 users can cut their reporting time by
20-40% through integration with Flir Ignite Pro. This secure cloud storage and reporting software for
professional thermographers means technicians can automatically upload inspection images to the cloud for
processing and analysis.
Connected workflows through automatic cloud uploads and purpose-built report templates speed
documentation and sharing while eliminating manual steps and any potential for data loss. Users can
subsequently focus on problem solving rather than paperwork.
Compact and Rugged
A durable, easy-to-handle form factor meets industrial standards for drop (2 m, 6ft 7”) and ingress protection
(IP54), ensuring the C8 is ready for demanding operating environments. Applications include:
- Electrical and mechanical maintenance activities: Inspection professionals can quickly take advantage
of the Flir C8 to detect faults and issues in factories, process plants, commercial facilities, and utilities to
prevent downtime and extend equipment life.
Also new to Flir’s latest-generation C8 compact thermal imaging camera is increased accuracy of ±2°C @ 0°C to a newly elevated 450°C maximum object temperature. Higher sensitivity (NETD <50 mk) and
streaming over USB are further additions to the extensive list of capabilities.
The Flir C8, which carries a 2-year battery warranty and 10-year detector warranty, comes complete with
wrist strap lanyard, pouch, and USB Type-C cable.
