FLIR MR176 Imaging Moisture Meter with IGM

The FLIR MR176 is the ultimate all-in-one moisture detection tool designed for professionals who demand accuracy, speed, and convenience on the job. Whether you‘re a building inspector, HVAC technician, restoration specialist, or contractor, the FLIR MR176 belongs in your toolbox as your go-to solution for identifying hidden moisture issues and verifying conditions with confidence.

Equipped with Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) powered by a FLIR Lepton thermal imaging sensor, the FLIR MR176 enables you to visually locate cold temperature patterns that may indicate moisture behind walls, ceilings, or floors—without making a single hole. This intelligent moisture meter helps you pinpoint the exact area to probe, saving you time and reducing guesswork.

What sets the FLIR MR176 apart is its built-in thermal camera, which displays 4,800 thermal pixels (80 × 60 resolution) to help you identify moisture-related temperature anomalies at a glance. This gives you a non-invasive way to begin your inspection, guiding you to the precise location that needs further investigation with the integrated pin probe or pinless sensor.

The integrated laser pointer and display crosshairs allow you to target problem areas quickly and accurately. Once the thermal image identifies a suspicious spot, the pinless sensor provides rapid readings without surface damage. Need verification? Simply switch to the included external pin probe to confirm your findings.

 

Built for Field Use

Durability, flexibility, and user control make the FLIR MR176 a standout performer in any environment. Designed to withstand tough job site conditions, it includes a field-replaceable temperature and relative humidity sensor, so you won’t need to ship your unit for calibration or maintenance—just replace the sensor yourself and continue working without delays.

Its Progressive Environmental Stability Indicator ensures accurate relative humidity readings as you move from room to room. The feature alerts you once readings have stabilised, reducing measurement errors caused by fluctuating ambient conditions.

 

Customise Your Workflow

Tailor the FLIR MR176 to fit your inspection needs with an intuitive on-screen menu. Customise thermal images by choosing which measurements to overlay—including moisture, temperature, relative humidity, dew point, vapour pressure, and mixing ratio. Lock image settings to prevent hot or cold spots from distorting your visuals during a scan.

Choose from four colour palettes for thermal imaging to better visualise anomalies. Whether you‘re analysing on-site or later in the office, the FLIR MR176 makes your job easier and more efficient.

 

Easy Image Capture and Reporting

Document your findings with ease. The FLIR MR176 allows you to capture and store thermal images and measurement data directly to the device. Connect via USB to quickly download files, generate professional reports, and share results using the free FLIR Tools software. This makes the FLIR MR176 not just a measuring device, but a complete documentation and reporting solution.

 

FLIR MR176 Key Features:

  • 80 × 60 thermal resolution Lepton imager helps identify potential moisture areas visually
  • Integrated pinless moisture readings and external pin probe included for versatile testing
  • Laser pointer and crosshair assist with targeting and spatial referencing in thermal images
  • Customise measurement overlays and lock image settings for clarity
  • Field-replaceable sensor and environmental stability indicator improve long-term reliability
