M Series M20 – Compact Handheld Thermal Camera for Industrial Inspections
Introduction
The M Series M20 is a reliable handheld thermal camera engineered for industrial, electrical, and building inspections. It enables technical professionals to quickly identify hot spots, temperature anomalies, and potential system failures, enhancing safety and efficiency in complex operational environments.
Main Description
Featuring a 256 × 192 IR resolution, complemented by SuperIR 512 × 384, the M20 delivers clear thermal imagery for accurate diagnostics. With a NETD < 40 mK and 6.9 mm F1.0 lens, it offers a 25° × 18.8° field of view and fine 1.74 mrad spatial resolution, ensuring precision in detecting temperature differences. Manual focus allows accurate targeting for detailed inspections.
The integrated 8 MP visual camera supports thermal fusion and PIP modes, allowing side-by-side analysis of thermal and visible images. The 3.5" LCD touchscreen provides easy operation with digital zoom from 1.0x to 8.0x and multiple color palettes such as White Hot, Black Hot, and Ironbow for versatile inspection needs.
Measurement tools include center, hot, and cold spot detection, along with 10 user-definable points, lines, rectangles, and circles for thorough analysis. 16 GB Micro SD card storage accommodates ≈60,000 images and ≈15 hours of video, with support for both voice and text annotations.
Connectivity is provided via Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.2, and USB Type-C. The camera is powered by an interchangeable Li-ion battery offering ≈6 hours of operation, while its IP54-rated protection and 2 m drop resistance make it highly durable for field use.
