FLIR MR277 Building Inspection System Wins a 2020 Pro Tool Innovation Award

EIN Flir protool 400

Nov 5, 2020

The FLIR MR277 Building Inspection System today received the Water and Moisture Award within the Test and Measurement category from the Pro Tool Innovation Awards (PTIA). Products are judged by a panel of contractors, construction business owners, tradesmen, and media professions during an annual review of the most innovative construction and outdoor power equipment industry products the world over.

According to the judging panel, the FLIR MR277 combines the advantages of Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) with the company’s proprietary Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX). Its environmental sensors helps to quickly locate, identify, and document problems. The IGM technology and laser pointer help to isolate the problem area, where one can then use the integrated pinless moisture sensor for non-invasive readings. Or, one can use the external pin probe to confirm hard-to-reach areas. Marrying the technologies of a quality hygrometer with thermal imaging and blending in the MSX overlay makes locating and diagnosing moisture issues much faster.

After pouring over literally hundreds of power tools, hand tools, fasteners, and accessories, winners were judged and chosen based on their leading innovation in the industry. Visit protoolinnovationawards.com for more about the Pro Tool Innovation Awards.
