|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Thermal + IGM ModeInstead of hunting around for hidden leaks or signs of moisture, you can scan large areas to visually target the problem. |
Digital moisture modeUse the integrated pinless sensor for non-destructive measurement. A pinless meter is faster, but only provides a relative reading. |
Pin modeFor more accuracy, connect the included pin sensor to for contact measurement with a moisture depth up to 0.75 inches. |
9 Moisture GroupsFor more precise measurement, select a Material wood group that best matches the material under test. With 9 Wood material groups, there are over 100 types of wood available. |
Investigate issues and troubleshoot quickly
IGM is designed to save you time by guiding you to the precise spot that may require further testing and investigation. Using the power of a FLIR Lepton thermal imaging sensor to show you temperature differences across your target, guiding you to the precise location of potential problems that require further testing or investigation. With IGM, you can identify problems before they become major issues, saving you the expense of unnecessary repairs.
Monitor, Compare, Report, Share
With the new FLIR METERLiNK app, which is enabled by Bluetooth, you can connect up to seven compatible FLIR test and measurement meters at once, allowing you to monitor a variety of electrical and environmental conditions simultaneously. It has a very user-friendly dashboard showing both a graphical and numerical representation of measurement data in real time with min, max, and average reading displays. The FLIR METERLiNK app allows you to compare log files, create detailed, custom, PDF reports, adjust dark/light display mode options, connect it to the FLIR support site for fast troubleshooting, and get automatic app updates.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Took me five minutes to figure out how to transfer pictures from the camera to my I phone via Bluetooth. Remembered couple of reviews mentioning issue with them not uploading correctly. After playing with the camera for five minutes I realized that pictures transfer just fine. It just takes a minute for them to show up on your phone app. So I just submit pictures I choose, then wait a minute for all pictures to complete transfer and then open the FLIR app on my phone to share them. The camera shows completion of image transfer when it submits it, but the phone still needs a moment to receive it and upload it.
I guess you have to get into the thousand dollar plus range to get a thermal image that's discernable from flir, because let me tell you I've watched scrambled static HBO porn when I was a kid that had a better picture than this thing. Absolutely can't tell what anything is and the color that's supposed to indicate moisture Is just on random objects but also very static looking.
On the moisture meter side it's ok'ish. I mean it can kinda get you close to a maybe accurate reading but for $700.00 I want to be with in +- 1% on multiple material options.
I'll be straight up honest and tell you right now I wanted to love this thing but its a $700.00 kinda works moisture probe.
My cheap Home Depot moisture probe that cost me $40.00 does a way better and much more accurate job then this thing.
Then the worst part I've returned it and they're telling me it's going to be a minimum of 30 days before they'll issue a refund and an additional 5-7 days to show up in my account. What a joke .
Giving it an extra star because it does feel solid and well built but that's about it.
