Flir introduces world first:
infrared cameras that “talk”
26
FLIR has launched MeterLink, an industry-first wireless
connection between selected FLIR cameras and Extech (a
FLIR subsidiary) measurement instruments enabling them to
“talk” to each other.
This revolutionary technology developed by FLIR is the
first time an infrared camera is able to interact with more
parameters in different applications.
The MeterLink simplifies the work of an electrical or
building inspector by making it possible to transfer, via
Bluetooth, the data acquired by the measurement instrument
into the infrared camera and implement it on the infrared
image for accurate, coordinated documentation.
The new MeterLink technology saves time and eliminates
the risk of faulty records or notes. For example, during
infrared inspections of electrical components, users can
transmit key electrical readings such as current or voltage
from a MeterLink-enabled Extech EX845 1000A AC/DC clamp
meter directly to a FLIR infrared camera.
For tracking moisture and water ingress, MeterLink works
with the Extech InspectorPro MO297 multi-function moisture
meter and psychrometer.
inspection reports on-the-go. Inspectors can easily compile
images and findings into a fully-formatted PDF report that can
be given to a client at a job site on a USB memory stick.
n Bluetooth Voice Annotation – connectivity to Bluetooth
handsfree headsets. Inspectors can now connect a Bluetooth
wireless headset to a FLIR infrared camera for easier
recording of voice comments associated with their inspections.
n Copy-to-USB – transfer onboard images or reports
directly to a USB memory stick. Copy-to-USB increases
customer convenience by saving time and simplifying file
sharing without the need to use a PC, USB cable, internet
or email.
n IR Window Auto-Correction – automatic sensitivity
compensation for infrared windows. IR Window Auto-
Correction ensures thermographers get connected to accurate
diagnostics when protective safety interfaces, like view ports
or IR windows are needed.
