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 a screen that’s more than 40 percent larger than the previous 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.” 

FLIR’s announcement also includes three new professional-grade digital multimeters: the FLIR DM91 ($274.99) with datalogging and wireless connectivity for industrial or 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 ($129.99). 

All new products will be on display this week at the North American Electrical Contractors (NECA) Show in Seattle, Washington in Booth 619. The CM275, DM285, DM166, and DM91 will be available in the fourth quarter 2017, while the DM62, DM64, and DM66 will be available in the first quarter 2018.
