Measurement class — NETD <20 mK @ 30 °C; object range −40…2000 °C; accuracy class ±1 °C / ±1% (5…150 °C) and ±2 °C / ±2% (to 1200 °C) at 25 °C per FLIR product page.
Ergonomics — 120° rotating optical block, 4.3 in 800×480 touchscreen plus 800×480 viewfinder, magnesium housing, IP54.
Field workflow — On-board Inspection Route mode; FLIR Thermal Studio Pro + Route Creator plugin (3-month subscription listed in packaging); Wi-Fi / Bluetooth / USB / HDMI; SD/SDHC storage.
Optics flexibility — FOV kits for 12°, 28°, and 45° lenses (and combinations); optional 7° and 3× close-up lenses per OEM.

Typical applications

High-resolution electrical and mechanical condition monitoring surveys.
Petrochemical, power, and process plant IR inspections needing long-range FOV options.
Route-based predictive maintenance with FLIR Thermal Studio Pro / Route Creator.
Radiometric stills and RTRR / RTRS video capture for expert analysis.

Selection guide

IR / UltraMax — Native 1024×768; UltraMax up to 3.1 MP when enabled and processed in FLIR thermography software.
FOV / lens kit — 12°×9°, 28°×21°, 45°×34° (and dual/triple kits); IFOV from 0.20 mrad (12°) to 0.80 mrad (45°).
Focus distance — Min IR focus ≈1.3 m (12°), 0.4 m (28°), 0.2 m (45°).
Object temperature — −40…2000 °C (−40…3632 °F) per flir.com T1020 page; confirm calibration range for your duty.
Power / duty — Rechargeable Li-ion; >2.5 h typical at 25 °C; two-bay charger or in-camera charge; packaging lists two batteries + hard case.
Environment — Operating −15…50 °C; storage −40…70 °C; IP54; shock 25 g / vibration 2 g (IEC).
I/O — USB Micro-B, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth/METERLiNK, HDMI type C; GPS + compass on images.

Common mistakes

Ordering a single FOV when the survey needs both close-up and standoff — lock 12° / 28° / 45° (or combo) before RFQ.
Treating UltraMax as a live 3.1 MP stream — OEM describes UltraMax as enhanced resolution when importing into FLIR software.
Ignoring export / frame-rate controls for your country — confirm shipping and camera configuration with the RFQ.
Expecting continuous outdoor use outside −15…50 °C or without IP54 wet/dust planning.
Skipping Inspection Route / Thermal Studio Pro needs when route-based surveys are the workflow.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

Lens kit: 12°, 28°, 45°, or listed combo (and any 7° / 3× close-up need).
Object temperature duty and whether high-temp range calibration is required.
Accessories: spare batteries, two-bay charger, SD class, headset, vehicle 12 V cable.
Quantity, ship-to country, and any Inspection Route / Thermal Studio workflow notes.
