FLIR Advances Infrared Camera Connectivity

FLIR Introduces Suite of Industry-First Connectivity Features
METERLiNK™ and other capabilities simplify jobs with increased connectivity

FLIR (www.flir.com) announces a suite of new connectivity-themed features across the FLIR thermal imager product line. The new capabilities integrate proven technologies such as Bluetooth™ to simplify and streamline routine inspection tasks helping thermographers get their job done more quickly and more accurately. New, industry-first features include:

• METERLiNK™ –Bluetooth™-based connectivity with Extech meters
• Instant Reports – In-camera application generates PDF inspection reports on-the-go
• Bluetooth™ Voice Annotation – Connectivity to Bluetooth™ handsfree headsets
• Copy-to-USB – Transfer onboard images or reports directly to a USB memory stick

FLIR’s suite of connectivity upgrades is headlined by METERLiNK™, an exclusive new technology that wirelessly connects FLIR infrared cameras to Extech meters via Bluetooth™ to accelerate and simplify inspections. For example, during infrared inspections of electrical components, users can transmit key electrical readings such as current or voltage from a METERLiNK™-enabled Extech EX8451000 ACA clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared camera. METERLiNK™ instantly imprints the electrical readings onto a related infrared image for accurate, coordinated documentation.

For building-related professionals concerned with tracking moisture and water intrusion, METERLiNK™ works with the Extech InspectorPro MO297 multi-function moisture meter and psychrometer. When moisture is identified on a FLIR camera’s infrared image, exacting moisture readings taken by an Extech InspectorPro can then be transmitted to the camera and recorded on the image, along with other environmental readings from the InspectorPro such as relative humidity and ambient temperature.

METERLink™, found on select FLIR infrared cameras and Extech test and measurement tools, saves time by accurately automating measurement annotations while effectively eliminating the risk of erroneous records or notes.

Tom Scanlon, vice president of Thermography Americas [or other executive to-be-determined], discussed the significant role of customer input in developing METERLiNK™, “FLIR is focused on getting customers better connected to their cameras, their customers, and their other tools of the trade. For example, we have heard from customers loud and clear that they wanted their infrared cameras to ‘talk to’ their meters. METERLiNK™ enables FLIR customers to integrate valuable readings from advanced, multifunction Extech meters into one format, their infrared image. METERLiNK™ and the related connectivity features we’re introducing represent FLIR’s commitment to driving innovation and leadership in the infrared camera industry.”

The Instant Reports mobile application from FLIR generates inspection reports on-board the camera, without a PC. The industry-first functionality uses an on-board, mobile version of FLIR’s reporting software adapted for expedited, on-the-go reporting. Inspectors can use the mobile application to easily compile images and findings into a fully-formatted PDF report with actionable insights that can be easily given to a client at a job site via USB memory stick.

Instant Reports allows inspectors to save time on many jobs by eliminating the added steps of preparing and sending a report at a desktop or laptop after an inspection. Plus, Instant Reports improves connectivity with customers who can now receive report findings “on the spot.”

FLIR’s integration of Bluetooth™ technology also powers the first-ever voice annotation capabilities via wireless headset. Inspectors can now connect a Bluetooth™ wireless headset to a FLIR thermal imager for easier recording of voice comments associated with their inspections. Using familiar Bluetooth™ headsets, users can improve the recording and playback quality of their voice comments, especially in noisy inspection sites.

Thermographers can take advantage of their existing Bluetooth headsets designed specifically to pick up a user’s voice while reducing or rejecting ambient noise. Plus, the in-ear design of many models significantly reduces background noise to let users hear audio better. FLIR is the only infrared camera maker to offer users connectivity to high-quality, Bluetooth™ wireless headsets.

FLIR’s new Copy-to-USB capabilities permit users to transfer onboard images or reports directly to a USB memory stick. Copy-to-USB improves connectivity with clients by allowing thermographers to deliver infrared images or complete PDF reports generated with Instant Reports by simply transferring files from the camera to a USB memory stick. Copy-to-USB increases customer convenience by saving time and simplifying file sharing without the need for a PC, USB cable, internet, or email.

FLIR’s new IR Window Auto-Correction automatically adjusts sensitivity compensation for IR windows. Infrared inspections of electrical components viewable only through an arc-resistant IR window, view port, or sightglass can be compromised when the window itself affects a camera’s IR sensitivity. To combat this risk for inaccurate findings and to save time making manual compensation adjustments, FLIR cameras now feature an industry-first automatic compensation for decreased sensitivity caused by IR windows. IR Window Auto-Correction ensures thermographers get connected to accurate diagnostics especially when protective safety interfaces, like view ports or IR windows, are a must.

New features will be available on select FLIR thermal imagers on March 1^st, 2010. Visit www.flir.com or call 1-800-GO-INFRA to learn more about FLIR’s upgraded product line featuring a suite of improved connectivity features.
