by John Snell and Dave Sirmans

If you are still having any unscheduled electrical outages for any reason, the chances are good you need to look at how to improve your infrared program. Thermography is much less about what kind of camera you use than it is about using the camera you have well.

IRISS, Inc.  Introduces a Global First: Square Infrared Windows

IRISS, Inc., the manufacturer of the world’s only industrial-grade infrared windows capable of passing durability and impact requirements; the first ultrasound ports; emissivity standardization “land marking” tags;  and the world’s only transmissive PDU panels has expanded its product line of Custom Application Products (CAP) to include the world’s first Square Infrared Window.

MeterLink - A Wireless Connection Between Infrared Cameras and Moisture and Electrical Instruments

FLIR launches MeterLink an industry-first wireless connection between selected FLIR cameras and measurement instruments from Extech, a subsidiary of FLIR Systems.
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 buildingrelated professionals concerned with tracking moisture and water ingress, MeterLink works with the Extech InspectorPro MO297 multi-function moisture meter and psychrometer.
