Locate the problem immediately

Scanning with this thermal multimeter allows users to locate electrical issues rapidly and from a safe distance. Additionally, it is an ideal troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment, due to it’s the ability to verify hot spots on high-voltage equipment and transformers and detect heating of fuses, wires, insulators, connectors, splices, and switches.

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 and more 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.
