Υγρόμετρο-ψυχρόμετρο FLIR MR160

The FLIR MR160 Imaging Moisture Meter combines a moisture meter and a built-in thermal camera to help locate and verify moisture issues. Using Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) technology, the device displays thermal images that guide you to the precise spot for moisture measurement. The MR160 includes a pinless sensor for non‑intrusive scans and an external pin probe for contact measurements. Its compact, rugged design, rechargeable battery and industry-leading warranty make it suitable for field use and as a complementary tool to high-resolution thermal cameras.

Advantages

The MR160 provides visual guidance and numeric moisture readings on a single screen, allowing faster identification and verification of wet areas. Its combined thermal imager (80x60 Lepton) and moisture sensors reduce guesswork: you can scan with the pinless mode or confirm with the included external pin probe. Additional features supporting fieldwork include a laser pointer and cross-hairs for accurate targeting, internal rechargeable battery with USB charging, durable drop-tested housing, and the ability to store thousands of images for later reporting with FLIR Tools software.

Suitable for

• Detecting hidden moisture in walls, ceilings and floors
• Investigating insulation and building envelope issues
• Moisture diagnostics for renovation, maintenance and restoration
• Indoor humidity and moisture verification in residential and commercial buildings

How to use

Power the MR160 using its internal battery and switch on the unit. Use the thermal image to scan the target area: the IGM thermal view highlights temperature differences and guides you to likely moisture locations using the laser pointer and display cross-hairs. For a quick non‑intrusive check, perform a pinless scan over the surface; view real‑time relative moisture readings on the screen. To confirm moisture level, attach and use the supplied FLIR MR02 external pin probe in contact mode to obtain WME measurements and select the appropriate material group. Save images and readings to internal memory for review and export with FLIR Tools.

Recommendations

When scanning for moisture, start with a broad thermal scan to identify suspicious areas, then use pinless mode for targeted non‑intrusive checks and the pin probe to verify and record contact measurements. Keep the device within the specified operating temperature and humidity ranges and recharge the battery before prolonged field inspections.
