For
the past year, MSA's Evolution® family of thermal imaging cameras
has won firefighters' evaluations by achieving maximum value with
their rugged performance, outstanding durability, consistent reliability,
and best-in-class technology.
Now, MSA's new and improved Evolution 3000 TIC with i-tech incorporates
the best BST-based technology and additional features to offer an
even better TIC value available to firefighters, with NO increase
in cost!
Performance and durability of Evolution 3000 TICs are outstanding.
For example, the Evolution 3000 TIC withstands the 4.5' drop onto
concrete and meets the IP67 water-resistance requirement. It also
meets simulated NFPA tests for direct flame- and heat-resistance
and high-temperature environments. (Note: The price of the Evolution
4000 model runs about $21,000, compared to less than $15,000 for
the Evolution 3000 TIC.)
Technological highlights
The new i-tech system has enhanced the Evolution 3000 TIC with optimized
i-tech optics; new display technology; proprietary direct temperature
measurement; new i-tech software/firmware; enhanced high-temperature
warning; a 50% longer battery life (about 3 hours per battery);
and upgraded circuitry and connectors.
The
i-tech system eliminates the automatic iris control motor and associated
moving parts, with an optimized iris system. Details behind intense
heat sources that are frequently "grayed out" by standard automatic
irises remain distinct and clear, and the Evolution 3000 TIC does
not require any manual adjustment(s). In addition, the improved
LCD technology gives TIC users enhanced resolution; a high-definition,
clear display; and a full depth of field at all times. |
