FLIR DM166 Thermal Imaging Digital Multimeter

FLIR DM166 Thermal Imaging Digital Multimeter

The FLIR DM166 Thermal Imaging Digital Multimeter provides the user with sophisticated electrical measurement and basic thermal imaging. It can measure AC/DC voltage from 0 to 600V, AC/DC current from 0 to 10A, resistance from 0 to 60MΩ, capacitance from 0 to 10mF and frequency from 0 to 50kHz. The instrument is also capable of performing continuity and diode tests whilst a VFD filter is ideal for measuring variable frequency drives. True RMS improves accuracy on AC values. In terms of temperature, the multimeter can perform thermocouple measurements from -40˚C to 400˚C and there is also a µA range for testing flame sensors.

The thermal imaging capability of the FLIR DM166 is provided by an 80 x 60 pixel thermal sensor which can measure temperature from -10˚C to 150˚C. It has ±3˚C accuracy and 150mK sensitivity meaning that temperature variations of just 0.15˚C can be depicted on screen whilst the wide 50˚ x 38˚ field of view allows the user to quickly scan circuitry and still produces a sharp-focus image at very short distances. The thermal imaging function allows the user to check for hot spots in electrical systems as well as investigate various HVAC systems.

The FLIR DM166 has a vibrant 2.4” colour screen that can show thermal images in iron, rainbow, or greyscale palettes. The automatic ranging produces an appropriate thermal image for the temperature conditions. When not in thermal imaging mode, readings are clearly shown on the screen and the multimeter takes 5 samples per second. The user selects their chosen function via the clearly labelled dial whilst other push buttons control the mode, range, data hold function and min/max recording.

The FLIR DM166 is specifically designed to keep the user safe. Not only will the thermal imaging alert the user to faulty components without having to touch them, but there is also a non-contact voltage detection function that warns the user of live circuits. The multimeter is rated safe for Cat III 600V and Cat IV 300V and it has a sturdy, ergonomic design which is ideal for performing awkward or challenging measurements. It benefits from a 10-year warranty and has been drop-tested to 3-meters. Test leads, batteries and a soft carry case are provided as standard.
