Fluke 279 FC/iFlex TRMS Thermal Multimeter

The Fluke 279 FC is a full-featured digital multimeter with integrated thermal imaging that is designed to increase your productivity and confidence. The thermal multimeter helps you find, repair, validate, and report many electrical issues quickly, improving your ability to solve problems. The 279FC/iFlex (a flexible current clamp) expands your measurement capabilities and gets into tight, hard to reach spaces for current measurement (up to 2500 A AC). Thermal imaging multimeters are a first-line troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment that can check hot spots of high-voltage equipment and transformers from a safe distance, detect heating of fuses, wires, insulators, connectors, splices and switches. Scanning with the 279 FC’s thermal imager reveals many electrical issues quickly and from a safe distance. By combining two tools into one, the thermal multimeter lightens the load and increases productivity. BENEFITS It gives you a heatmap to quickly and safely see where the hotspot is before you begin repairs. Two-in-one tool is designed to increase productivity - no need to go back to the truck or office to retrieve a shared camera or wait for the thermographer - do more in less time! Fluke Connect reduces time consuming reporting - by easily assigning images to work orders to validate work is complete. iFlex expands your measurement capabilities - get into tight, hard to reach spaces for high current measurement (up to 2500A). FEATURES Full-featured multimeter with built-in thermal imager. 15 measurement functions including: AC voltage with low-pass filter, DC voltage, Resistance, Continuity, Capacitance, Diode test, Min/Max/Avg, AC current (with iFlex), Frequency. Save measurements and images while communicating wirelessly with a smart phone. Image resolution 80 x 60. 3.5”/8.89 cm color LCD screen. Rechargeable lithium ion battery.
