FLIR AX8 Thermal Monitoring System

FLIR AX8 Thermal Monitoring System

In stock

FLIR’s AX8 is a thermal sensor with imaging capabilities. Compact and easy to install, AX8 provides continuous temperature monitoring and alarming for of critical electrical and mechanical equipment. Which means that captains benefit from continuous condition monitoring and hot spot detection without the need for periodic manual scans.

 

 

Description

The FLIR AX8 thermal monitoring camera watches critical equipment on your vessel, including engines, exhaust manifolds, and shaft bearings, to spot problems before you’re stranded on the water. The AX8 integrates with Raymarine multifunction displays (MFDs) and sends audible and visual alerts when the temperature of machine parts rise above preset thresholds. Featuring FLIR’s MSX® imaging, which blends imagery from visible and thermal cameras, the FLIR AX8’s detailed imagery is easier to understand.
