Locate the Problem ImmediatelyThermal 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. |
Expanded FunctionalityCompatible 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-color LCD screen makes for easier and clearer viewing of images and readings. The 10 hour+ rechargeable battery keeps you going all day under normal conditions. |
Communicate Your ResultsTransmit results wirelessly to a smartphone and save time on reporting to validate work ( is complete with built-in Fluke Connect.) Troubleshoot more efficiently by instantly trending and monitoring measurements live on your smartphone screen. Create and email reports right from the field. |
Change the Way You See Multimeters
Through development of the 279 FC, Fluke has brought an invoative twist to the standard multimeter. By adding an integrated thermal camera, Fluke has made the true all-in-one tool. What would usually require multiple tools and devices, can now be accomplished with this one simple tool and for far less money. The 279 FC has a total of 15 measurement functions including AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity, capacitance, diode testing, min/max, AC Current (with iFlex), frequency & more. Fluke has also designed the 279 FC to function with the Fluke Connect® mobile and desktop applications, cutting down maintenance times even more.
Why do I need a thermal imager in my multimeter?
Thermal imaging multimeters are a first-line troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment that can check hot spots on 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.
- 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)
Locate Problems in Seconds
By having the added functionality of a thermal imager, users can easily scan for problem areas or hot spots on voltage equipment and transformers. This eliminates the need to use the multimeter on every portion of the machine in order to narrow down the problem area. The 279 FC easily detects hot fuses, wires, insulators, connectors, splices and switches. Allowing you to eliminate or largely diminish equipment down time.
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-color LCD screen makes for easier and clearer viewing of images and readings. The 10 hour+ rechargeable battery is designed to keep you going all day long under normal conditions.
Communicate Results Quickly
With the added functionality of Fluke Connect®, users can wirelessly transmit results directly to a smartphone. Greatly reducing the time spent reporting or validating field results. Easily manage and observe trends fomr various measurement points all from your smartphone. Gather and build reports that can be emailed directly to colleagues from right in the field
