How Fluke Connect Enhances Our Top 5 Test Tools

How does Fluke Connect help technicians in the field, remote supervisors, and the maintenance department overall?

Let’s look at specific examples that demonstrate how Fluke Connect enhances our most popular tools.

1. Fluke 370 Series True-RMS Clamp Meters

Measuring currents with incredible accuracy, the 370 Series Fluke Clamp Meters are an essential part of any maintenance team’s toolkit. But if you aren’t using these tools with Fluke Connect, you’re missing out on some major benefits.

Without Fluke Connect:

Without wireless connectivity, techs must take readings directly from the clamp meter display. This increases time inside the arc flash zone, which requires additional PPE and elevates risk.

Also, there’s no easy way to keep notes or photos together with each asset’s data, adding manual work.

With Fluke Connect:

After connecting the clamp meter, techs can step outside the arc flash zone, pull up Fluke Connect on their smart device, and view measurements at a safer distance.

Plus, techs can upload, save, and share on-site notes and photos directly within the app, which keeps all asset data together. They can even send instant notifications or emails to team members.

2. Fluke 902 FC True-RMS HVAC Clamp Meter

Designed for HVAC technicians, this clamp meter captures every measurement you need: microamps, resistance, AC current, AC/DC voltage, capacitance, and contact temperature. But if your techs still take readings next to energized panels, you need Fluke Connect.

Without Fluke Connect:

HVAC techs must take readings directly from the clamp meter. Standing by energized panels and wearing heavy PPE, they interpret readings, hand-write measurements, and document repairs.

This process increases overall time spent on each reading, along with time spent in the arc flash zone.

With Fluke Connect:

After connecting the 902 FC, your HVAC tech can safely re-energize the panel, step away to a safer distance, and remotely monitor readings from their smart device.

Instead of writing and calculating measurements by hand, they can make notes and save readings in the app. Plus, it's easy to share readings and documentation with teams in real time.

3. Fluke Ti480 PRO Infrared Camera

Our wireless Ti480 PRO offers increased thermal sensitivity, multiple rectangle markers, and interchangeable smart lenses that are compatible with our other infrared cameras. But if you aren't using Fluke Connect, it can be difficult to stay organized.

Without Fluke Connect:

You capture clear readings and collect the data you need, but you can only store images locally on your camera's SD card. You still need to sort, categorize, upload, and pair each image with other field documentation for that equipment.

With Fluke Connect:

As you capture each infrared image, Fluke Connect automatically uploads and pairs it with measurement data from other connected test tools.

Now, you have comprehensive reports in an instant. Plus, you can email data directly to your team with one click.

4. Fluke 1674 FC Multifunction Installation Tester

This cutting-edge multifunction installation tester saves time in several ways. For example, with autotest, you can push a single button to run multiple tests in a sequence automatically. But when combined with Fluke Connect, you can further streamline testing and minimize manual data entry.

Without Fluke Connect:

Technicians receive localized reports with comprehensive data displayed on the tester. After testing, you can locate an on-site computer and connect your 1674 FC to upload data and organize reports.

But if the computer isn’t authorized to access your localized database or secure cloud storage, you may not be able to do this on-site.

With Fluke Connect:

Your 1674 FC can wirelessly upload information to our app. You can capture and save test data, upload photos and notes to specific test points or assets, and share information with one click.

Plus, Fluke Connect automatically syncs with other connected test tools to create a comprehensive picture of facility health.

5. Fluke 283 FC/PV Solar Digital Multimeter and Wireless Current Clamp

For higher-voltage applications such as utility-scale solar installations, our 283 FC is CAT III 1500 V and CAT IV 1000 V safety rated. Its wireless clamp is simpler and safer to use than an in-line connection. But you can maximize safety even further, and streamline data entry, with Fluke Connect.

Without Fluke Connect:

Once technicians safely connect the clamp, they view and interpret readings directly on the multimeter screen. That means they stay in a higher-voltage environment while writing down key measurements, making calculations, and taking other notes.

Even with proper PPE, time spent in active higher-voltage environments increases risk.

With Fluke Connect:

With the multimeter activated and the clamp securely connected, technicians can step away to a safer distance during tests.

You can view, record, and save real-time measurements securely to the cloud, attach relevant notes and photos, and share data and documentation with one click. It all adds up to safer, more organized testing and reporting.
