--- title: "Fluke RSE300 Mounted Infrared Thermal Imager" description: "Stationary fully radiometric thermal camera streaming high-frequency infrared data for research, science, and mechanical hotspot detection on rotating equipment." canonical_url: "https://nodewave.net/store/thermal-imaging/fluke-rse300" last_updated: "2026-10-04T04:05:42.910Z" --- The Fluke RSE300 provides **fully radiometric video streaming at 60 Hz**. By continuously transmitting frame-by-frame temperature data directly into MATLAB and LabVIEW software environments, it enables automated algorithms to identify micro-thermal anomalies on high-speed rotating equipment before mechanical failure occurs. ## Executive Summary and Core Capabilities The **Fluke RSE300 Fixed Thermal Camera** is a stationary radiometric infrared imager built for continuous automated monitoring, research, and predictive maintenance. Featuring a 320 × 240 320\times 240 320 × 240 pixel detector resolution and a fast 60 Hz frame rate, the RSE300 captures detailed thermal dynamics on moving components, rotating bearings, and high-speed process operations. **High-Frequency Radiometric Data:** Operating at **60 Hz** with a thermal sensitivity of **≤30 mK\le 30\text{ mK}≤30 mK**, the RSE300 streams raw temperature values for every pixel directly to desktop software, ensuring subtle friction hotspots on machinery are caught early. - **Continuous Machinery Protection:** Mounts permanently above conveyor lines, motor shafts, and gearboxes to spot dangerous heat increases while equipment is running. - **No Battery Constraints:** Powered continuously via standard AC power supplies and connected over local Ethernet for long-term automated operations. - **Clear Visual Context:** Uses Fluke IR-Fusion technology to combine visible light images with infrared views, making it easy to identify exact problem areas. The Fluke RSE300 employs an uncooled microbolometer sensor providing 320 × 240 320\times 240 320 × 240 IR resolution and a wide 34 ∘ × 24 ∘ 34^\circ\times 24^\circ 3 4 ∘ × 2 4 ∘ field of view. It covers an expansive temperature range from − 10 °C -10\text{ °C} − 10 °C to + 1200 °C +1200\text{ °C} + 1200 °C ( 14 °F 14\text{ °F} 14 °F to 2192 °F 2192\text{ °F} 2192 °F ) with an accuracy rating of ± 2 °C \pm 2\text{ °C} ± 2 °C or ± 2 % \pm 2\% ± 2% . The MultiSharp Auto Focus system adjusts target sharpness across multiple depth planes within the frame. Full software integration via SmartView R&D allows custom threshold triggers, data export to IS2/IS3 formats, and real-time streaming over Ethernet using GigE Vision protocols. --- ## Technical Specifications and Performance Matrix
