FLIR DM284 Thermal Imaging Digital Multimeter

FLIR Systems has added the FLIR DM284 to its test and measurement instrument line-up, designed to inspect, identify and help users avoid major electrical issues. The all-in-one digital multimeter is equipped with a built-in thermal imager powered by FLIR’s Lepton thermal micro-camera core and is the latest test and measurement instrument to feature the company’s Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) technology.

The device combines an 18-function industrial True RMS digital multimeter with IGM technology, which helps to guide electrical professionals with thermal imaging to the precise location of temperature anomalies and potential problems. For example, when facing cluttered wires or scanning complex electrical panels for issues, the thermal micro camera helps users pinpoint potential hazards without requiring any direct contact with the test site. Once an issue is observed using IGM, the product’s current, voltage and other functions can be used to diagnose equipment problems. This combination of capabilities also reduces the number of tools electricians need to carry.
