FLIR Systems, a global leader in thermal imaging and test & measurement solutions and part of Teledyne Technologies , has introduced a new line of compact, rugged, and user-friendly EV charging station test adapters and kits . Designed to support the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure worldwide, these tools help ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with international standards such as IEC 61851-1 and CAT II 300V .
With the exponential rise in public and private EV charging station installations globally, there is an increasing demand for reliable, standardized testing equipment that can verify:
- Protective Earth (PE) integrity
- Electrical wiring safety
- Maximum current output verification
- Residual Current Device (RCD) functionality
The new FLIR EV45-T2 EV charger test adapter , along with the EV-KIT-2 test kit , provides a comprehensive solution for installation, maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting of EV supply equipment (EVSE) across commercial and domestic settings.
Key Features of the FLIR EV45-T2 EV Charger Test Adapter
The EV45-T2 features a built-in IEC 62196-2 Type 2 plug for compatibility with Type 2 charging stations and AC wall connectors , and includes a SAE J1772 Type 1 converter for broader adaptability. It supports essential functions such as:
- Verifying protective earth and wiring integrity
- Testing charge current interrupt devices (CCID)
- Confirming maximum current output
- Simulating and indicating pilot states
- Providing clear visual feedback via a color LCD display
- Enabling Bluetooth® wireless connectivity through FLIR METERLiNK® technology for real-time data sharing and reporting on mobile devices
This makes it ideal for use in EV charging station commissioning, service, and maintenance operations where accuracy and efficiency are critical.
Complete EV Charging Test Kit Solutions
The EV-KIT-2 builds upon the capabilities of the EV45-T2 by including the FLIR DM286 digital multimeter , which integrates IGM® (Infrared Guided Measurement) technology. This tool enables users to perform:
- Voltage and frequency measurements
- Advanced troubleshooting of electrical systems
- Wireless documentation and reporting via the METERLiNK app
The Bluetooth-enabled multimeter allows technicians to instantly share findings with colleagues or clients, streamlining workflows and improving service delivery.
Both the adapter and the kits come housed in the TA91 compact carry case with a shoulder strap, ensuring portability and protection during transport and field use.
