Bullard T3X Thermal Imager Joins X Factor Series

Bullard’s T3X offers firefighters an economic thermal imager equipped with the latest X Factor engine technology and image processing techniques. The T3X joins Bullard’s Eclipse® LDX as a member of the X Factor Series of thermal imagers that incorporates the latest image technology for the ultimate performance in fire conditions.

The T3X runs at an ultra-fast 60 Hertz image update rate and is equipped with a new LCD display that increases brightness and improves contrast, allowing firefighters to see more clearly in thick smoke and direct sunlight. In addition, the T3X is equipped with Bullard’s Super Red Hot colorization and temperature measurement features. The Super Red Hot feature reveals specific heat layers alerting firefighters to areas of intense heat and more effectively identifies the spread of fire. An optional feature on the T3X is Bullard’s exclusive Electronic Thermal Throttle® (ETT), which enables firefighters to reveal hidden fire and distinguish hotter objects with the touch of a button.

The X Factor Series of thermal imagers includes the Eclipse LDX, T3X, T4X, and Eclipse X. Bullard plans to release the T4X in the third quarter of 2015, followed by the Eclipse X. All X Factor Thermal Imagers come standard with an industry leading five-year, full service warranty on parts and labor.

In addition, all X Factor Thermal Imagers are eligible for Bullard’s upgrade program. The program provides customers who have purchased a Bullard Thermal Imager after January 1, 2007, the opportunity to upgrade their current thermal imager to an X Factor Thermal Imager.  Bullard’s upgrade program is available through December 31st, 2015.
