FLIR Systems, Inc. recently announced the release of its TG165 Imaging IR Thermometer, a powerful, affordable, compact tool that lets you see invisible heat patterns, measure temperatures accurately, and conveniently store images and measurement data for reporting.

Built around FLIR’s exclusive Lepton micro thermal imaging camera core, the TG165’s thermal imaging technology provides users the ability to see where problems exist prior to measuring the severity of the problem with its built-in spot temperature capability.

Fast and easy to use, the TG165 lets users get right to work with an intuitive point and shoot capability. Its dual rotating lasers visually mark the size and location of what is being measured, while the on-screen crosshair pinpoints the region on the thermal image. The TG165 is designed to withstand a two-meter drop, making it rugged enough for industrial professionals while offering the simplicity valued by do-it-yourself homeowners.

“The TG165 bridges the gap between current generation IR thermometers that offer no imagingcapability, and FLIR’s market-leading thermal cameras,” said FLIR President and CEO, Andy Teich. “By leveraging our new Lepton core’s revolutionary price, size, and low power consumption, the TG165 transforms one of the most commonly used measurement tools into a discovery device that gives facility maintenance workers, contractors, electricians, HVAC techs, and homeowners greater capability to solve heating and electrical issues quickly and safely.”

The TG165 is priced at $499 and is available at popular industrial test equipment retailers in markets around the world. For more information, please visit www.flir.com/tg165.

OMICRON, a leading worldwide supplier of power system testing solutions, announces the 2nd Annual Traveling-Wave Protection and Testing Workshop, a live virtual event, which will be held on September 9th, 2021.

The latest advancements in power system protection include time-domain relays with traveling-wave fault location that perform ultra-high-speed operation and provide increased fault location accuracy. OMICRON offers the first solution to field test and verify of the correct operation of traveling-wave relays.

Attendees will learn more about traveling-wave protection, hear firsthand utility case studies for applying and testing traveling-wave relays, witness a live practical demonstration for testing time-domain protection, and new this year, an “Ask the Experts” panel.

“We expect another strong turnout this year” says Jackie Peer, Head of Strategic Business Development and event moderator, OMICRON. “We had over 200 attend this virtual event in our inaugural year. Utilities are seeking events such as this that provide a holistic approach to sharing knowledge about the topic at hand – in this case, applying and testing traveling-wave relays.”
