FLUKE-279FC, Fluke 279 FC Handheld Digital Multimeter, With RS Calibration, Мультиметр

Fluke 279 FC (Fluke Connect) Thermal Multimeter

The 279 FC is a full-featured hand held digital multimeter with integrated thermal imaging and is designed to increase your productivity and confidence. The thermal multimeter helps you find, repair, validate and report many electrical issues quickly so that you are confident problems are solved. This 2 in 1 tool saves time as there is no need for separate instruments.

Infrared camera

Built into the multimeter and works by detecting heat. It identifies hot spots from a distance, denoting over-voltage or mechanical issues, making it safe for the user. This feature is more for detecting problems which can be checked with the multimeter rather than for thermal analysis.

Locate the problem immediately

Thermal imaging multimeters are a first-line troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment that can check hot spots on high-voltage equipment and transformers, detect heating of fuses, wires, insulators, connectors, splices and switches. Scanning with the 279 FC’s thermal imager reveals many electrical issues rapidly and from a safe distance. By combining two tools into one, the thermal multimeter lightens the load and increases productivity. Can measure current with optional iFlex loop and smartphone connectivity with Fluke Connect.

Expanded functionality

Compatible with iFlex® (a flexible current clamp) to expand your measurement capabilities and get into tight, hard to reach spaces for current measurement (up to 2500 A ac). The large full-colour LCD screen makes for easier and clearer viewing of images and readings. The 10 hour+ rechargeable battery keeps you going all day long under normal conditions.

Communicate your results

With built-in Fluke Connect®, transmit wirelessly to a smartphone and save time on reporting to validate work is complete. Troubleshoot better by instantly trending and monitoring measurements live on your smartphone screen. Create and email reports right from the field.
