Fetching data from external FLIR
meters
18
18.1 General
You can fetch data from an external FLIR meter and add this data to the infrared image.
When the camera is connected to a FLIR meter via Bluetooth, the measurement value
from the meter is displayed in the result table of the camera. The FLIR meter value is also
added to the information saved in the image file.
18.2 Supported meters

18.4 Procedure
Note This procedure assumes that you have paired the Bluetooth devices. For more in-
formation, see section 11 Pairing Bluetooth devices, page 23.
Follow this procedure:
1. Turn on the camera.
2. Turn on the FLIR meter.
3. On the meter, enable Bluetooth mode. Refer to the user documentation for the meter
for information on how to do this.
4. On the meter, choose the quantity that you want to use (voltage, current, resistance,
etc.). Refer to the user documentation for the meter for information on how to do this.
Results from the meter will now automatically be displayed in the result table in the
top left corner of the infrared camera screen.
18.5 Typical moisture measurement and documentation procedure
18.5.1 General
The following procedure can form the basis for other procedures using FLIR meters and
infrared cameras.
18.5.2 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Use the infrared camera to identify any potential damp areas behind walls and
ceilings.
2. Use the moisture meter to measure the moisture levels at various suspect locations
that may have been found.
3. When an area of particular interest is located, store the moisture reading in the mois-
ture meter’s memory and identify the measurement area with a handprint or other
thermal identifying marker.
4. Recall the reading from the meter memory. The moisture meter will now continuously
transmit this reading to the infrared camera.
5. Use the camera to take a thermal image of the area with the identifying marker. The
stored data from the moisture meter will also be saved on the image.
