Combining thermal and visual cameras in a small, affordable package, the AX8 provides continuous temperature monitoring and alarming for uninterrupted condition monitoring of critical electrical and mechanical equipment. The AX8 provides early detection of temperature-related issues in electrical and mechanical equipment, making it the ideal temperature sensor for continuous condition monitoring and hot spot detection for electrical cabinets, process and manufacturing settings, data centers, mass transit facilities, energy generation plants, and storage facilities.

CONTINUOUS CONDITION & SAFETY MONITORING

Compact and easy to install, AX8 provides
continuous monitoring of:

• Electrical cabinets
• Process and manufacturing areas
• Data centers
• Energy generation and distribution
• Transportation and mass transit
• Storage facilities
• Refrigeration warehouses

IDENTIFY PROBLEMS EARLY

The AX8 helps you guard against unplanned outages, service interruptions, and equipment failure by providing uninterrupted temperature monitoring, so you’ll get the benefits of continuous condition monitoring and hot spot detection without the need for periodic manual scans.

AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS AND ALARMS

With its streaming video output, the AX8 not only gives you live video of every installation, but it also provides automated alarming when pre-set temperature thresholds are exceeded as well as temperature trend analysis.

COMPACT AND EASY TO INSTALL

Combining thermal and visual cameras in a small, affordable package, the AX8 measures only 54 x 25 x 95 mm, making it easy to install in space-constrained areas for uninterrupted condition monitoring of critical electrical and mechanical equipment.

AX8 KEY FEATURES

• Extremely affordable
• Ultra-compact
• Intelligent temperature sensor
• Analytics on the edge
• Picture-in-picture
• MSX

AX8 PROVIDES

Industry-standard interfaces:
• Ethernet/IP
• Modbus TCP

Multiple streaming video formats:
• MPEG
• MJPEG
• H.264

MULTIPLE VIDEO OPTIONS

With AX8, you can view its thermal imagery, visible light imagery, or the two combined into FLIR's proprietary, patent pending MSX multi-spectral dynamic imaging.

MSX provides image detail from the visible camera embossed on the thermal image, giving you:
• Sharper edge detail
• The ability to read labels
• Better contextual awareness
