Fluke Fluke 279 FC Handheld True RMS Multimeter with Thermal Imager 1kV DC, 2.5kA AC, Lithium-Ion Battery FLUKE-279FC I/B

Fluke FLUKE-279FC I/B is a premium handheld true RMS multimeter combining advanced thermal imaging and comprehensive electrical measurement capabilities, designed to accelerate fault finding in industrial and field environments. It delivers precise diagnostics by capturing infrared images for rapid hotspot identification alongside traditional voltage and current measurements, enhancing maintenance and troubleshooting workflows.

This multimeter features a built-in thermal imager that detects temperature anomalies across a temperature range from -10°C to 200°C with 0.1°C resolution. The 102 x 77 pixel infrared images are captured at an 8 Hz rate, allowing real-time visual inspection during electrical testing. With True RMS measurement, the meter ensures accurate readings on complex, non-sinusoidal AC waveforms common in industrial equipment.

The device measures up to 1kV for DC voltage and 2.5kA AC current using the included iFlex flexible current probe, enabling access to confined spaces such as cable trays. Additional functions include AC/DC voltage and current, capacitance, resistance, diode testing, and continuity checks. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides an operational runtime of approximately 10 hours, supporting extended field usage.

Safety is ensured with CAT III and CAT IV ratings at 1kV, suitable for high-voltage circuits and industrial applications. Wireless data transfer at 2.4 GHz frequency enables measurement data and thermal images to be transmitted up to 20 meters for convenient data logging and analysis. Internal memory capacity allows storing up to 100 thermal images for trend comparison and historical records.

This model's size (216mm x 94mm x 57mm) and weight (800g) make it portable yet robust for demanding industrial, electrical, and mechanical maintenance tasks. It is highly suited for commissioning, fault finding on motor drives, inspecting transformers and switchgear hot spots, and logging maintenance trends across various environments.
