17 Fetching data from external FLIR meters
17.1 General
You can fetch data from an external FLIR meter and merge this data into 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. In preview mode and when editing an image in the archive, you can add more than
one value from the same FLIR meter.
(In preview mode and when editing an image in the archive, you can do the following:
- Push the programmable button
to add the value currently displayed by the FLIR meter. - Push and hold the programmable button to remove all FLIR meter values from the image.

17.4 Typical moisture measurement and documentation procedure
17.4.1 General
The following procedure can form the basis for other procedures using FLIR meters and infrared cameras.
17.4.2 Procedure
- Use the infrared camera to identify any potential damp areas behind walls and ceilings.
- Use the moisture meter to measure the moisture levels at various suspect locations that may have been found.
- When an area of particular interest is located, store the moisture reading in the moisture meter’s memory and identify the measurement area with a handprint or other thermal identifying marker.
- Recall the reading from the meter memory. The moisture meter will now continuously transmit this reading to the infrared camera.
- 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.
Follow this procedure:
