Designed to visually analyze large surfaces for moisture problems, air leaks, electrical malfunctions and more, the Flir MR265 moisture meter/thermal camera combo with MSX* function enables professionals to quickly identify and locate water leaks and other moisture problems at source. Comprising a thermal camera and a measuring instrument, this tool combines a Lepton thermal camera with 160 × 120 pixel resolution, a camera assisted by an LED lamp and laser pointer, and probe or probeless measurement capabilities to speed up the identification of moisture problems, plus simple reporting via Flir Thermal Studio Suite.
Diagnosticians, craftsmen and other building professionals wishing to add to their range of tools will appreciate the MR265's many possibilities for reading and reporting humidity levels, as well as for identifying thermal anomalies that may indicate leaky pipes, electrical malfunctions or heat loss through windows and doors.
Multispectral dynamic imaging
Compared with traditional non-thermal imaging moisture meters, the MR265 considerably reduces inspection time. Thanks to its visible 2-megapixel camera, which enables it to superimpose contour details on the thermal image via the MSX function, the MR265 provides the user with much more detail and context on the screen and in the recorded images, for fast, efficient problem identification.
Humidity measurement with and without probe
The MR265 also makes it easy to identify moisture problems, thanks to its probe and probe-free measurement functions. The probe-free option provides qualitative measurements using a built-in sensor, for situations where a more invasive method is unthinkable or would result in unwanted damage. Conversely, measurements with a probe produce quantifiable results via a resistive-tipped probe, which can pierce cavities and other suspected damp spots in walls, ceilings and floors. When the probe is used in conjunction with the thermal camera, the operator can quickly scan the entire surface of a wall and then use the built-in sensor to locate moisture more precisely, thus measuring the exact level of humidity without unnecessary damage. Functionality can be further extended with six compatible sensors and probes for the MR265, such as the Flir MR08 hammer, the combined hammer and wall cavity probe and the Flir MR05 tipped probe.
More data with Flir Thermal Studio Suite
The simplified reporting functions provided by Flir Thermal Studio Suite also help to reduce the time needed for diagnostics and reporting. Users can directly download thermal images in JPEG format by connecting the supplied USB cable to Flir Thermal Studio or a compatible reporting solution. They can also create reports based on thermal, MSX or visible images, or pre- and post-intervention status reports containing all three types of image, using Flir software. This makes it easier for users to communicate about pre- and post-repair activities, and to reassure themselves that mold problems, electrical anomalies or energy losses have been identified and resolved.
"The MR265 is a great tool, as it can read moisture levels in several different ways. What's more, the built-in thermal camera with laser function enables me to detect thermal anomalies in circuit breakers even more quickly. It doesn't take up much space, so I can easily slip it into my satchel. It's a versatile tool, so I don't have to carry all kinds of other instruments. It's the perfect complement to my inspection tools.says Terry Meyer, Building Inspector, Metro Home Inspections.
* MSX is a patented FLIR imaging technology that produces highly detailed thermal images by combining thermal and visual spectra.
