The document summarizes the specifications and features of the FLIR K-Series infrared cameras. The K-Series features include high resolution detectors, a bright 4-inch display, long battery life, and ease of use even with gloves. The cameras can detect infrared energy and produce thermal images to measure temperature without contact. Models include the K40 with 240x180 resolution and K50 with 320x240 resolution. The cameras are designed to be rugged, reliable, and affordable for applications like firefighting.

1. FLIR K-Series

2. Infrared Basics
Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be
detected by the human eye.
Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and
provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities.

3. IR Cameras
Infrared Energy Detection
An infrared camera is a non-contact device that detects
infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic
signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal
image on a video monitor and perform temperature
calculations.

7. Extremely affordable: a thermal imaging camera in every fire fighting truck.
FLIR markets more thermal imaging cameras than any other manufacturer. Thanks to economies of scale FLIR
Systems can market the FLIR K-Series at an extremely affordable price.
Robust & reliable
The K-series is designed to meet tough operating conditions. It withstands a drop from 2 meters on a concrete
floor, is water resistant (IP67) and fully operating up to +85 °C.
Clear and crisp thermal images
The maintenance free uncooled microbolometer sensor produces clear and detail rich images of 240 x 180
pixels (FLIR K40) or 320 x 240 pixels (FLIR K50). Thermal images are presented on a large bright 4” display
helping you navigate and make quick and accurate decisions.
Easy-to-use, also for a gloved fire fighters hand
An intuitive and simple user interface allows you to focus on the job at hand. The FLIR K-Series can be controlled
by 3 large buttons on top of the unit. Ideal for a gloved fire fighters hand.
Produce simple reports
Thermal images can be stored in the FLIR K-Series and later be used to produce simple reports of what
happened at the scene.
