ISI Introduces Next-Generation
Thermal Imaging Camera,
Setting New Standards for Speed, Resiliency and Ease of
Use.
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — International Safety
Instruments (ISI), the company that introduced the first
BST thermal imaging cameras for firefighters, has released
a next-generation thermal imager featuring instant-on
responsiveness, longer battery life, greater resiliency
and simplified operation.
The ISI 2500 Thermal Imager is the latest product innovation
from the manufacturer of technologically advanced respiratory
protection and thermal imaging equipment. Operational
in three seconds, the handheld ISI 2500 is ready when
the firefighter needs it most, according to Tim McDonald,
Thermal Imaging Product Manager.
“Whether quickly locating the seat of the fire,
conducting Rapid Intervention Team rescue, or sizing up
the scene fast, this imager needs no standby mode to be
instantly available or to extend the life of a fully charged
battery,” he said. Its rechargeable battery is designed
to operate a minimum of four hours, thus eliminating the
need to change batteries while at the fire scene.
Thermal imagers use infrared detection to convert thermal
radiation into video images. Initially used by firefighters
solely to “see through smoke,” ISI’s
thermal imagers now provide valuable, time-saving information
for rapid scene analysis to find hidden fires, structural
degradation, hazardous environmental conditions and high
spot temperatures.
The ISI 2500 sets new standards for resiliency. Designed
to withstand a 10-foot drop and remain operational –
still functioning without having to restart – it
is IP67 waterproof, with or without a battery in place.
It also meets the most stringent requirements for vibration
tolerance and features fire resistant straps, bumpers,
outer shells and battery housings, all of which have passed
flame testing similar to that used for breathing apparatus.
The ISI 2500 employs state-of-the-art, uncooled thermal
imaging technology from Raytheon Commercial Infrared,
which provides the highest .
