FLIR Releases Rugged, Compact, Easy to Use Test Adapters and Kits for Commercial and Domestic EV Charging Stations
FLIR, a Teledyne Technologies company, today unveiled a series of robust, handheld Electrical Vehicle (EV) Charger testing tools and test kits and test kits to help verify the safety and reliability of EV charging stations.
The user-friendly new products also serve to expedite the installation and maintenance of public and private EV chargers and diagnose and troubleshoot EV supply equipment (EVSE). Charging station operators, service/maintenance providers, and automotive equipment manufacturers share common pain points, including the need to: maintain EV charging station safety by checking protective earth (PE) and electrical wiring integrity; verify the maximum current output of EV chargers; and ensure compliance with CAT II 300V and IEC 61851-1 EV safety standards. FLIR therefore set about developing its new EV45-NACS EV charger test tool with NACS plug and Type 1 converter and EV45-T2 EV charger test adapter with Type 2 plug and Type 1 converter. Both are also available in kit form (EV-KIT-1 and EV-KIT-2). Each kit sees the addition of a FLIR DM286 digital multimeter with IGM® infrared guided measurement technology.
EV45-NACS
The FLIR EV45-NACS features a built-in NACS plug for NACS charging stations or AC wall connectors. It is also compatible with SAE J1772 Type 1 stations and comes with a compact converter. Compliant with
CAT II 300V and IEC 61851-1 EV safety standards, the EV45-NACS is ideal for Level 1 35 ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY SOLUTIONS - Summer 2025
or Level 2 EV AC charging stations at both residential and commercial locations. Key capabilities include: • Maintaining EV charging station safety by checking PE and electrical wiring integrity.
• Testing the charge current interrupt device (CCID) to ensure electrical safety.
• Indicating/verifying the maximum current output of EV chargers. • Controlling pilot state indication and simulation. • Comprehensive EV charger status indication with color LCD display. • FLIR METERLiNK® Blutooth technology enables instant wireless information sharing using METERLiNK® app on mobile devices
EV45-T2
The FLIR EV45-T2 is equipped with a built-in IEC 62196-2 Type 2 plug for Type 2 charging stations or AC wall connectors. It is also compatible with SAE J1772 Type 1 charging stations, with a compact converter included. Offering compliance with CAT II 300V and IEC 61851-1 EV safety standards, the EV45-T2 offers the same capabilities as the EV45- NACS, as well as the testing of the residual current device (RCD) to ensure electrical safety.
