14.5 FLIR K55
P/N: 72201-0206
Rev.: 41168
General description
The FLIR K55 is a robust and reliable infrared camera designed to perform under extremely severe con-
ditions. The FLIR K55 has an intuitive interface with a design that makes it easy to control even with a
gloved hand. The crisp and clear image helps you to navigate through smoke and to make quick and
accurate decisions.
Benefits:
• Robust and reliable: The FLIR K455 is designed to meet tough operating conditions. It can with-
stand a drop from 2 m (6.5 ft.) onto a concrete floor, is water resistant to IP67, and is fully operational
up to +85°C (+185°F), or +260°C (+500°F) for 5 min.
• Clear and crisp thermal images: The maintenance-free uncooled microbolometer sensor produces
clear and detail-rich images of 320 × 240 pixels which have been further improved with FSX, a digital
image processing enhancement technique. Thermal images are presented on a large, bright 4″ dis-
play, helping you to navigate and to make quick and accurate decisions.
• Easy-to-use—also in a gloved firefighter’s hand: An intuitive and simple user interface allows you to
focus on the job. The FLIR K series can be controlled by just three large buttons on top of the unit.
Ideal for a gloved firefighter’s hand.
