Infrared thermography for scientific applications
The FLIR SC660 is designed for professional thermographers. It’s the most advanced, most accurate infrared camera technology on the market today – with a lot of industry-first features.
Highest sensitivity and most advanced feature set available. Supplies a combination of infrared and visible spectrum images of superior quality and temperature measurement accuracy – plus GPS, voice annotation, and a host of other advanced features.
Highest Sensitivity
The SC660’s high-definition 640×480 infrared detector delivers exceptional sensitivity, resolution, and image quality for scientific and research applications. Its 0.04°C sensitivity and ±1°C (1.8°F) accuracy means precise readings, taken on smaller objects, at safer distances. The Dynamic Detail Enhancement (DDE) feature further improves thermal image sharpness.
Visual Image Integration
The SC660 includes an integrated 3.2 megapixel digital video camera to aid in data presentation. Infrared and visual images can also be stored in standard JPEG formats. The visual camera includes a matching Field Of View (FOV) lens, so IR and visual images correlate over various distances. Moreover, full flexibility in the fusion of images allows user adjusted sizing and location of a picture-on-picture (PoP) view.
Multifunction Video Capture
The SC660’s 5.6” widescreen LCD allows on-camera viewing of images. Its FireWire interface can transfer 14-bit radiometric or RAW data directly into a PC for real-time analysis of captured images. Furthermore, radiometric sequences can be stored on high capacity (1 GB) SD-cards, an advantage when viewing moving targets. MPEG-4 non-radiometric video sequences can also be streamed to a PC via USB.
Voice and Text Annotation
The user can record 30 seconds of digital voice and embed it with each IR image. This allows a full description of the target and situation to be recorded and then documented in a data presentation. In addition, data from the built-in GPS system can be used to denote the camera’s location. For added flexibility, text comments for each image can be entered manually or preloaded from a PC.
Productivity Features
An abundance of features enhance the convenience and productivity of the SC660. Its tiltable viewfinder provides high-resolution color imagery. The multi-angle handle has an integrated joystick and buttons and for easy point-and-shoot operation – functions like auto-focus, freeze-frame, and image storage are just a button click away. Manual focus allows operators greater flexibility, while the auto-focus is helpful in hard-to-focus situations, and allows new users to become productive sooner. A visual target illuminator (lamp) ensures good visual reference images, even under low lighting conditions.
Safety Enhancements
The laser locator on the SC660 helps associate a spot on the IR image with the exact location of the target object. This greatly enhances user safety by eliminating the tendency to “finger point” at hazardous areas. The camera’s large target-distance to spot-size ratio allows users to do accurate measurement and analysis, while quickly and safely conducting IR studies in dangerous environments. An optional wireless remote control unit is very useful in hard to access areas, or when the operator needs to be away from the camera for safety reasons. This feature is WLAN based, and allows MPEG video to appear on the remote display.
Lightweight and Rugged
The ergonomic magnesium housing is designed meets the IP54 standard, thereby protecting internal parts from shock, vibration, dust and water-splash. The result is a camera that weighs only 1.7kg (3.8lb) with battery, for the comfort of users that need to carry a camera several hours a day.
3-hour Run Time Battery
The SC660 can run up to three hours on a single, fully charged battery. It comes with an intelligent charging station capable of conditioning and charging two batteries at a time. In addition, you can plug the SC660 into an AC outlet or optional 12V cable and charge the battery while still in the camera.
Optional Research Package
The optional SC660 Research Package consists of the SC660 camera and the ThermoVision ExaminIR analysis software. FLIR’s ThermoVision ExaminIR Software seamlessly stores, retrieves, and analyzes IR images and temperature data directly from the SC660 camera, allowing in depth and precise evaluation of thermal performance. This powerful Windows®-based package for R&D professionals is easy to use for both static and real-time image analysis. It includes temperature display and analysis functions such as isotherms, line profiles, area histograms, and much more. Its high-speed data acquisition capabilities add another level of power and flexibility to thermal imaging and temperature measurements.
Infrared Certification Training and Support
In addition to worldwide service and support, FLIR Systems offers Thermographer certification classes at its state-of-the art facilities. The FLIR Systems Infrared Training Center (ITC) is the Global leader in IR Thermography Training.
Contrast Optimizer
The Contrast Optimizer is a special feature that enhances details in contrast-rich infrared images. The Contrast Optimizer optimizes the brightness and contrast adjustment and enables to view both the scanned object and its surroundings.
As such, the Contrast Optimizer also contributes to the ease of use of the SC660 camera, as it decreases the need for manual adjustments of level and span, while preserving the background details. It allows the SC660 camera user to concentrate on the image, not on the camera control.
