The FLIR T840 (14°) is a professional handheld thermal imaging camera built around a 464 × 348 pixel uncooled microbolometer detector operating in the 7.5–14 µm long-wave infrared band. Configured with the 29 mm focal-length lens, it delivers a 14° × 10° field of view and a 0.52 mrad/pixel spatial resolution (IFOV), making it suited to thermography work where the target is at a distance and finer angular detail per pixel is required. The camera pairs the infrared sensor with a 5 MP visible-light digital camera and FLIR's MSX image enhancement, presenting results on a 4-inch optically bonded PCAP touchscreen with an additional viewfinder for use in bright outdoor conditions.
Thermal imaging cameras in this class are used to visualize surface temperature distribution non-contact across a wide range of inspection and diagnostic tasks. The T840 supports thermographic measurement across three camera temperature ranges spanning –20°C to +1500°C, with measurement accuracy specified at ±2°C or ±2% (whichever is greater) for ambient conditions of +15 to +35°C. Onboard measurement tools include up to three spotmeters and three area measurements in live mode, automatic hot/cold detection within an area, emissivity correction from 0.01 to 1.0, reference and difference temperature functions, and external optics/windows correction. A 0.5°C accuracy screening mode at 37°C with reference is also specified.
ValueTronics International stocks, inspects, and ships thermal imaging instruments such as the FLIR T840 from a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Each {{CONDITION}} unit moves through documented inbound receiving, technician inspection, and functional verification before it is offered for sale, and every order ships from the same Elgin facility where it was inspected. Working directly with a domestic specialist eliminates the drop-shipping pass-through model used by many online resellers and gives engineers, calibration labs, and procurement teams a single accountable source for the instrument, its accessories, and its post-sale support.
FLIR Systems is a long-established thermal imaging manufacturer; in 2021 FLIR became part of Teledyne Technologies, and current products are issued under the Teledyne FLIR brand. The T840 datasheet referenced here was published by FLIR Systems, Inc. and the product, accessories, and documentation continue under the combined Teledyne FLIR organization.
