WILSONVILLE, Ore.  – FLIR recently introduced the FLIR DM285 thermal imaging digital multimeter, an industrial inspection, troubleshooting and diagnostic tool for a wide variety of electrical and electro-mechanical applications, as well as for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration inspection.

Electrical professionals and field service professionals can use the DM285 for non-contact thermal imaging to quickly scan for overheating system components, and then use it to test functions to troubleshoot and diagnose the fault. The DM285 is ideal for troubleshooting electrical applications, including overheating panels, fuses and loose connections. It can be used for diagnosing issues in electro-mechanical equipment such as rotating and reciprocating pumps and compressors, electric motors and drives and associated monitoring and automation systems.
