You’ve got skill. You’ve got experience. Now you

have some groundbreaking new tools that give

you powers to document temperature issues, to be

several places at once, and to assess vibration

issues with just a touch.

Vibration is one of the earliest indicators of

machine health, and the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter

gives you a fast, foolproof and repeatable way to

do vibration screening. Simply touch the sensor to

motors, pumps, and other mechanical equipment

to measure overall vibration as well as test bearing

vibration.

Heat is the next major signal of trouble ahead.

Where there’s excess friction or resistance, there’s

heat. The VT02 Visual IR Thermometer is a ground-

breaking troubleshooting camera with an infrared

heat map. You get the complete picture of your

target with blended visual and thermal heat map

images, empowering you to ﬁnd the exact location

of the issue.

When solving problems requires you to mea-

sure, monitor and record multiple readings from

multiple locations all at the same time, the Fluke

CNX wireless system connects you to problems

faster and more conveniently. Modules measure

ac voltage, ac current, temperature and more. And

you can see those live readings from

the wireless

CNX multimeter up to 20 meters away.

Alone, each of these tools offers fast, easy and

affordable new ways to solve problems.

Together,

they vastly expand your troubleshooting

powers.

Quickly ﬁnd out what’s a problem and what’s not.

You’ll stay out of panic mode, be able to proactively

plan maintenance, and reduce overall downtime.

Here are just a few scenarios that demonstrate how you can use your new powers. You’ll feel like a superhero. #1 Breaker panel problems When you’re trying to track down problems in dirty, wet, or electrically hazardous environments, Fluke tools help you work more safely and save you the time of repeatedly suiting up in full personal protective equipment (PPE). In this case, you and two other technicians suit up in full PPE and remove a 90-pound panel cover that encloses a three-phase breaker panel.

#2 Tracking down motor trouble During your regular scheduled maintenance check of critical motors in your plant, you perform a vibration screening using the Fluke 805 Vibration Tester. You find a motor that gives an indication of an internal issue. You connect three wireless CNX modules and begin monitoring all three phases of motor current over the course of the week. While the modules are collecting data, you make a quick check for hot spots from time to time with the VT02.

#5 Intermittent motor overload #4 Finding intermittent faults on a food processing line When operating conditions limit access, such as complex production lines with moving parts and rotating equipment, innovative Fluke tools can help you make an assessment without contact. Maybe there’s an intermittent fault on the line, but you can’t isolate the problem. With the VT02, you can stand at a safe distance and quickly scan a relatively large area.
