Reed Instruments R2165 Thermal Imaging Camera with NIST

Professional Thermal Diagnostics with Certified Documentation

The REED Instruments R2165-NIST is a high-performance infrared camera designed for contractors, facility managers, and home inspectors who need clear thermal data and documented proof of accuracy.

Featuring a 160 x 120 (19,200 pixel) sensor, it provides the detail necessary to identify energy loss, moisture intrusion, and electrical faults. This model is bundled with a Traceable Calibration Certificate to meet the strict reporting requirements of professional safety and quality audits.

Key Technical Advantages

• Superior Visual Detail: Capture temperatures from 14 to 752°F (-10 to 400°C) with three distinct viewing modes: Thermal, Visual Image, and Thermal Blending for precise object identification.

• Job-Site Ruggedness: Engineered to survive the field with an IP65-rated dust and water-resistant housing and a 6.5-foot (2m) drop-test rating.

• On-Screen Analysis: Identify problem areas instantly using the center-spot marker and high/low-temperature alarms on a vibrant 2.8" color TFT display.

• Advanced Reporting Software: Download thermal images to a PC via the included USB-C cable to analyze patterns and generate professional client reports.

Ideal Applications for the REED R2165

• Home & Building Inspection: Detect missing insulation, air leaks, and moisture buildup behind drywall or in ceilings.

• Electrical Maintenance: Identify overheating circuit breakers, loose wiring connections, and overloaded transformers.

• HVAC/R & Plumbing: Troubleshoot radiator blocks, radiant floor heating gaps, and ductwork obstructions.

• Mechanical & Plant Maintenance: Monitor motor bearings and gearbox temperatures to prevent mechanical failure.

• Predictive Maintenance: Establish thermal baselines for critical machinery to catch problems before they lead to downtime.
