FLIR A310 camera range

FLIR’s range of A310 cameras can be used for both temperature monitoring and security applications.

The A310 f and A310 pt thermal imaging cameras are dual-use systems - temperature monitoring of critical installations and perimeter security. They can be installed almost anywhere to monitor critical equipment and other valuable assets. They will safeguard plants and measure temperature differences to assess the criticality of a situation.

The A310 f is a fixed mounted camera. Once installed it always looks in the same direction. It is suitable for monitoring critical installations and to protect the perimeter at the same time.

The A310 pt pan/tilt has the features and functions to build single- or multicamera solutions. It can pan ±360° continuously and tilt ±45°. It is suitable to cover large areas. Typical application examples are wood and coal pile, waste bunker and substation monitoring. It is a multisensor and includes a lowlight 36x zoom colour CCD camera.

With a thermal A310 pt, the operator can monitor the perimeter security continuously, while equipment in the field of view can be monitored at the same time.

At selected times, it can also audit temperatures of equipment in other locations, then return to the main task of security monitoring. A fixed A310 f camera can also perform both functions simultaneously.

Other applications include: power generation and distribution; critical equipment monitoring; natural gas processing, transport and storage; fire prevention in waste storage areas; flare detection.

Both cameras can detect temperature differences as small as 0.05°C and contain analysis and built-in alarm functions. MPEG-4 video output can be streamed over ethernet to show live images on a PC. Composite video output, PAL and NTSC is available. The cameras come standard with a built-in 25° lens with both motorised focus and autofocus. Optional lenses are available. They contain a built-in 100 Mb ethernet connection.

Each camera comes with a single sensor copy of Sensors Manager. This software allows users to manage and control a camera in a TCP/IP network. The fixed camera is EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP compliant, which allows for sharing of analysis and alarm results to PLCs. It contains images masking functionality and is powered over ethernet (PoE).
