Datasheet
2 Fluke Corporation Fluke 279 FC Thermal Multimeter
Product highlights
• Full-featured multimeter with built-in thermal
imager
• 15 measurement functions including: AC voltage
with low-pass filter, DC voltage, Resistance, Con-
tinuity, Capacitance, Diode test, Min/Max/Avg, AC
current (with iFlex), Frequency
• Thermal imaging reveals many electrical issues
quickly and safely, eliminating the need for
time-consuming testing and validation
• Two-in-one tool is designed to increase produc-
tivity–no need to go back to the truck or office to
retrieve a shared camera or wait for the ther-
mographer–do more in less time!
• iFlex expands your measurement capabilities–
get into tight, hard to reach spaces for current
measurement (up to 2500 A AC)
• Designed for durability, built to withstand
a 3 m (9.8Ft) drop, double insulated with raised
rubber holster for increased protection
