Sign In
Developed for commercial and industrial applications, the Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter is the only meter that gives you a high-performance DMM, a state-of-the-art insulation tester, and wireless connectivity for sharing and tracking results all in one unit.
The 1587 FC supports the Fluke Connect™ Wireless System. Fluke Connect™ is a system that wirelessly connects your Meter with an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app shows the Meter measurement on your smartphone or tablet screen. You can save these measurements with Fluke Connect™ to share with your team.
The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter adds four powerful new diagnostic functions through the Fluke Connect® Measurements app:
PI/DAR timed ratio tests with TrendIt™ graphs identifies moisture and contaminated insulation problems faster.
Memory storage through Fluke Connect eliminates writing down results, reduces errors and saves data for historical tracking over time.
Temperature Compensation through app for establishing accurate baselines and relevant historical comparisons.
Historical tracking and trending of assets identifies degradation over time, allows real-time decisions to be made in the field with Fluke Connect® Assets.
