FLIR DM286 Industrial Thermal Imaging Multimeter with IGM
- All-in-one diagnostic tool – Combines a true RMS multimeter with a built-in thermal imager for faster, safer fault detection.
- IGM and MSX technology - Visually pinpoint electrical issues and enhance thermal clarity to eliminate guesswork.
The FLIR DM286 is the ultimate thermal imaging multimeter designed for electrical professionals who need accuracy, safety, and speed in one rugged, versatile tool. Featuring Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) and MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging), the FLIR DM286 allows you to detect electrical issues faster and without direct contact - making it a trusted companion in demanding industrial and facility environments.
With storage for up to 30,000 images and 100 log files, the FLIR DM286 empowers you to document, review, and share findings with ease. It also records both thermal and visual video clips, and with seamless connectivity via the FLIR METERLiNK app, you can stream live data to your mobile device for real-time analysis and reporting on the go.

✅ Work Safer with Thermal Precision: Use IGM to locate electrical hot spots, overloaded circuits, and thermal anomalies without ever touching the panel. FLIR DM286 uses MSX technology to overlay visual edge detail onto thermal images, offering crystal-clear visuals that eliminate guesswork and reduce inspection time.
✅ Built for All-Day Performance: The FLIR DM286 includes a powerful LED work light for dimly lit panels and comes with two rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery packs for extended use. Engineered for tough job sites, this multimeter withstands drops of up to 2 meters - perfect for demanding commercial and industrial environments.
✅ Streamlined Workflow with METERLiNK: Connect the FLIR DM286 to your mobile device using the METERLiNK app for live-streaming measurements and thermal imagery. Capture radiometric images and videos, generate quick reports, and sync up to seven FLIR-compatible tools - keeping your team aligned and efficient in the field.
✅ Pinpoint Accuracy with FLIR Lepton Sensor: Powered by the FLIR Lepton thermal sensor, the FLIR DM286 helps you detect hidden temperature anomalies behind panels and equipment. Stop wasting time with trial and error - visually confirm faults and impress clients with clear, actionable insights.
Unmatched Clarity with MSX Imaging

The FLIR DM286 uses MSX technology to fuse visible light detail with thermal imagery - giving you more context in every shot. Identify issues faster and deliver visual proof to clients and team members, all in real time.
