All the latest FLIR electrical test and
measurement products offer features that allow professionals to
efficiently test and troubleshoot electrical, electro-mechanical,
and heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems. These thermal
imaging products offer the added benefit of visualizing heat and
highlighting temperature anomalies on a built-in display. Whether
facing cluttered wires, complex panels, or clogged condenser coils,
IGM guides users without requiring any direct contact with the test
site, increasing both speed and user safety.
The new products include:
- FLIR
DM285: The 18-function
FLIR DM285 ($699.99) is FLIR's most advanced digital multimeter,
measuring temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius. Along with IGM,
the FLIR DM285 features onboard storage for measurements and
images, as well as wireless connectivity to streamline the
inspection process and simplify data collection, sharing, and
reporting.
- FLIR
CM275: FLIR's newest, most advanced 600-amp AC/DC
clamp meter ($699.99) offers IGM and a wide range of measurement
functions. It also includes a narrow jaw, built-in worklights, and

model.
- FLIR DM166: FLIR's
most affordable digital multimeter and thermal imager combination,
the FLIR DM166 ($499.99) features broad multimeter test functions,
and the flexibility for use in both high- and low-voltage
applications.
Each product has a rugged, drop-tested design and
carries a 10-year warranty on both the product and the thermal
detector.
"With the introduction of these latest test and
measurement products, FLIR has strengthened its already extensive
and powerful suite of products for electrical professionals," said
Jim Cannon, President and CEO of FLIR Systems. "The new IGM
products demonstrate our ability to leverage thermal imaging in
ways that improve the productivity and safety for the professionals
who use them."

benchtop work; the FLIR DM66 ($149.99), offering a wide range of
test features for electrical and field service professionals; and
FLIR's most affordable, general-purpose multimeter, the FLIR DM62
