FLIR DM266 Compact Thermal Imaging Multimeter with MeterLink

The FLIR DM266 is a compact thermal imaging multimeter for maintenance electricians, industrial maintenance teams, HVAC/R technicians, electronics technicians and electrical service professionals. It combines electrical measurements with infrared guided measurement (IGM), helping you locate a suspect hot spot before placing test leads and then investigate it with the meter. MeterLink connectivity also supports a clearer path from measurements on site to documented findings. Request a Quote Why Choose The FLIR DM266? LOCATE FAULTS BEFORE YOU PROBE Infrared guided measurement (IGM) places thermal context alongside the electrical measurement, helping technicians identify abnormal heat patterns and decide where to test. This is useful when scanning panels, connections, motors and HVAC/R electrical components for the point that needs closer investigation. SEE MORE CONTEXT WITH MSX Thermal MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) combines thermal information with detail from the visual camera, making components and problem areas easier to recognise. Thermal-only and digital-camera-only modes are also available when the job calls for an uncluttered view. STREAM READINGS WITH METERLINK Bluetooth BLE and the Meterlink communication protocol allow readings to be transferred into compatible FLIR software for reporting. This reduces manual transcription and helps maintenance teams keep measurement records connected to the inspection. HANDLE CORE ELECTRICAL TESTS WITH ONE METER The True RMS meter covers AC/DC voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency counting, diode testing and continuity checks. VFD AC voltage measurement supports work on variable-frequency-drive systems without requiring a separate meter for the initial checks. RECORD EVIDENCE DURING THE JOB The instrument stores JPEG images and supports configurable data-recording intervals from 1 to 100 seconds. With storage for up to 40,000 images and memory for 40,000 readings per set, technicians can retain useful evidence for troubleshooting and maintenance reports. CARRY A COMPACT TOOL BUILT FOR SITE WORK At 168 × 87 × 31 mm and 299 g, the DM266 is sized for handheld use and includes a soft carrying case. A 2 m drop test, rechargeable battery and up to 12 hours of operation in IGM mode support practical use through a working shift.
