Fluke 279 FC Wireless True-RMS Thermal Digital Multimeter

The 279 FC multimeter is a full-featured multimeter with built-in thermal imager that reveals hot spots that may indicate electrical issues quickly and safely.

Thermal imaging multimeters are a first-line troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment that can check hot spots on high-voltage equipment and transformers, and 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, this thermal multimeter lightens the load and increases productivity.

Expanded functionality

This digital multimeter is 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). This electrical multimeter has a 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 long under normal conditions.

Communicate your results

With built-in Fluke Connect®, transmit results 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great meter! The IR feature saves time! The features on this meter are great. The best part is the IR feature. It saves a lot of time during the work day by preventing trips back to the shop to get the stand-alone IR camera. Fluke has got a great product! Just need to convince my boss to buy several more!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Tool In My Bag I religiously take this item with me to work because it is such a life saver. It will also save room in your back because you are combining many different tools. It is a bit pricey, but worth the money!! You will not regret this purchase!! I work in data centers and this thing saves me time daily because i can quickly see my hot spots and check voltages to problem areas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best investment we've made in a while. Thermal imaging with the I Flex clamp.......what more do I need to say? Oh yes, its compatible with Fluke Connect. First time we used it we found 2 loose lugs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's a great investment I bought this with high expectations. And it hasn't let me down. It is quick and very versatile. I use it to find hot spots in the electrical panels and overheating bearings in electric motors. With the amp hoop it's a great tool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Meter! This meter has everything we need to troubleshoot our cranes in one device. My Electricians use theirs daily. It has helped us cut down time and the IR camera makes it easy to identify hot-spots and pending failures.
