Compact ATEX Thermal Camera - FLIR Cx5

FLIR Cx5 89401-0203 Compact ATEX Thermal Camera

The FLIR Cx5 89401-0203 is an ATEX-certified thermal imaging camera designed for professional inspections in sensitive industrial environments. It is designed for use in areas where the presence of gases, vapors, or dust may pose a risk of an explosive atmosphere.

Its compact size allows it to be easily integrated into the equipment used by maintenance, operations, or inspection teams. It is a suitable solution for inspecting facilities, detecting abnormal heat buildup, and quickly documenting thermal anomalies.

A thermal camera certified for explosive environments

The FLIR Cx5 is designed to facilitate thermal inspections in a wide range of high-risk industrial environments, including chemical, oil, and gas sites, as well as water treatment facilities.

Its certification for explosive environments allows for on-site inspections using equipment adapted to the safety constraints associated with gases, vapors, and dust. It thus helps professionals perform regular thermal surveys of their equipment while minimizing the challenges associated with using devices not suited for these areas.

A clear thermal image for quickly identifying anomalies

With a thermal resolution of 160 × 120 pixels—equivalent to 19,200 measurement points—the FLIR Cx5 allows users to visualize temperature variations on the equipment being inspected. It is particularly useful for detecting overheating, mechanical defects, electrical hot spots, or operational anomalies.

FLIR MSX® technology enhances the clarity of the thermal image by adding visual details from the real-world image. Contours, shapes, and observed features are easier to identify, making it simpler to interpret readings during field inspections.

A compact, rugged, and easy-to-use tool

The FLIR Cx5 89401-0203 features a 3.5-inch color touchscreen designed for quick and easy operation. Its compact size makes it easy to carry during inspection rounds or on-site work.

Its rugged design is suited for field conditions: it has an IP54 rating for protection against dust and water splashes, as well as drop resistance tested up to 2 meters. It also includes an LED light, useful for inspections in dimly lit areas.

Wi-Fi Connectivity and Storage with FLIR Ignite™

The camera features Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing images to be transferred and saved via FLIR Ignite™. This makes it easier to store, organize, and retrieve files after an inspection.

This feature makes it easier to track inspections, prepare reports, and share thermal images with a team, a maintenance department, or a site manager.

Battery Life Suited for Inspection Rounds

The FLIR Cx5 runs on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It offers up to 4 hours of battery life and recharges via USB-C in about 2 hours.

This battery life allows for efficient use during routine checks, maintenance inspections, or spot checks on industrial equipment.

Why choose the FLIR Cx5 89401-0203?

The FLIR Cx5 89401-0203 is an ideal solution for professionals seeking a compact, rugged, and ATEX-certified thermal camera. It combines the ease of use of a portable camera with FLIR’s thermal image quality and a design suited for sensitive industrial environments.

It is an excellent choice for teams working at chemical, oil, gas, and industrial sites, or in areas where equipment must meet specific safety requirements.
