Flir Introduces New Extech and Flir Test & Measurement Tools for Faster Inspections and Safer Diagnostics

Flir, a Teledyne Technologies brand, a global leader in intelligent sensing solutions, today announced the launch of a new lineup of Extech moisture meters, the Extech BR95 Video Borescope with modular environmental sensors, and the Flir VP54 Non-Contact Voltage Detector—expanding its portfolio of accessible, professional-grade test and measurement solutions.

Flir, a Teledyne Technologies brand, a global leader in intelligent sensing solutions, today announced the launch of a new lineup of Extech moisture meters, the Extech BR95 Video Borescope with modular environmental sensors, and the Flir VP54 Non-Contact Voltage Detector—expanding its portfolio of accessible, professional-grade test and measurement solutions.

Designed for building inspectors, restoration professionals, HVAC technicians, and electrical contractors, the new tools deliver improved visibility, faster diagnostics, and greater confidence across a wide range of inspection and troubleshooting applications.

Clear, Reliable Detection for Building and Restoration Applications

The new Extech MO50A, MO55A, and MO57A moisture meters provide flexible solutions for detecting moisture in wood, drywall, concrete, and other building materials. These updated models feature high-contrast color displays with backlight and intuitive visual and audible indicators to simplify interpretation in any environment.

• MO50A: A compact pin-type meter for fast, accurate measurements
 MO55A: A versatile combination pin and pinless meter for invasive and non-invasive testing
• MO57A: A pinless meter with a ball probe for smooth scanning across delicate or uneven surfaces

Together, the MO5xA-Series helps professionals quickly identify hidden moisture, assess water damage, and make informed remediation decisions.

Versatile Inspection with Expandable Sensing Capabilities

The Extech BR95 Video Borescope introduces a new level of flexibility for visual inspections in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. Featuring a compact, palm-sized design, a 5.5 mm waterproof camera probe, and a 3.5-inch IPS display, the BR95 captures high-quality images and video for documentation and analysis.

What sets the BR95 apart is its ability to expand beyond visual inspection with optional environmental sensors, transforming it into a multifunction diagnostic tool:

• BR95-CO: Measures carbon monoxide from 0–500 ppm
• BR95-CO2: Measures carbon dioxide from 400–2000 ppm
• BR95-RH: Measures temperature and relative humidity

This modular approach enables users to perform HVAC inspections, indoor air quality assessments, and building diagnostics with a single platform—reducing the need for multiple tools and improving workflow efficiency.

Reliable Electrical Verification with Enhanced Safety Feedback

The Flir VP54 Non-Contact Voltage Detector is designed to help professionals safely verify energized circuits before starting work. Featuring triple alarm feedback—visual, audible, and vibration alerts—the VP54 ensures voltage presence is clearly communicated even in noisy or low-light environments.

Additional features include:

• Bright LED flashlight and tip light for improved visibility
• Ability to differentiate live wires from neutral or ground
• CAT IV safety rating and compliance with UL1436 standards
• Rugged, drop-tested design for demanding field use

The VP54 provides electricians, inspectors, and technicians with a dependable tool for quick, confident electrical verification.

“Today’s professionals need tools that are not only accurate, but also versatile and easy to use across a wide range of environments,” said Heliel Morales, Director of Business Development – Test and Measurement. “With the introduction of the BR95 platform, enhanced moisture meters, and the VP54 voltage detector, we’re delivering practical solutions that help customers work more efficiently, diagnose issues faster, and make safer, more informed decisions in the field.”



Built for Real-World Applications

Across industries, professionals face increasing pressure to work faster, safer, and more efficiently—often in challenging environments. This new lineup of tools is designed to address common pain points such as limited visibility, unreliable measurements, and the need for multiple devices.
By combining ease of use, durable design, and versatile functionality, these solutions support a wide range of applications, including:

• Building and home inspections
• Water damage restoration
• HVAC system diagnostics
• Automotive inspection
• Electrical troubleshooting and safety checks
