Infrared Guided Measurement Technical Note from FLIR Systems

INFRARED GUIDED MEASUREMENT (IGM™)

Many industry professionals today rely on test and measurement tools for electrical and mechanical repairs, industrial plant maintenance, HVAC troubleshooting and electronic testing. With the new Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) technology from FLIR Systems, these jobs will become safer and a lot more productive.

Although many test and measurement products have become indispensable for today's maintenance professional, using a tool to find and pinpoint a problem quickly can be hard. Moisture and electricity problems don't always show up clearly to the naked eye, and therefore, finding the exact location of a moisture problem or electricity problem might require quite some guesswork. Another difficulty with electricity problems is that they can be dangerous when approached closely.

In answer to these problems, FLIR Systems has developed Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) technology. FLIR IGM™ allows maintenance professionals to identify the precise location of a problem that is invisible to the naked eye. IGM has been designed to save time and keep people safe from potentially dangerous situations.

WHAT IS IGM?
IGM is the addition of thermal imaging technology to the tried and true test and measurement equipment from FLIR Systems. IGM allows maintenance professionals to work smarter and more efficiently by visually guiding them to temperature problems invisible to the naked eye. This way, IGM allows them to focus on troubleshooting and see which spot may require further testing and investigation.
