Fluke 279FC/iFlex Wireless True-RMS Thermal Multimeter Kit
The Fluke 279FC/iFlex kit pairs a full-featured true-RMS digital multimeter with an integrated thermal camera and 18 inch iFlex flexible current probe, covering 15 measurement functions with CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V protection.Overview
The Fluke 279FC/iFlex kit combines a full-featured true-RMS digital multimeter with an integrated thermal camera, delivering two diagnostic tools in a single rugged instrument. The thermal imager allows electricians and maintenance technicians to scan high-voltage equipment, transformers, fuses, connectors, and switches from a safe distance, revealing hotspots that indicate developing faults before they cause failures. Paired with the 18 inch iFlex flexible current probe, the kit also supports high-current measurements up to 2500 A in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.

FAQ
Can the 279FC detect electrical hotspots safely from a distance?
Yes. The integrated thermal camera lets you scan energised panels and transformers without physical contact, identifying hotspots at a safe working distance to support predictive maintenance programmes.
Does the iFlex probe handle very high current measurements?
Yes. The 18 inch iFlex flexible current probe supports measurements up to 2500 A, making it suitable for industrial high-current circuits in tight or confined installations.
Is the 279FC compatible with the Fluke Connect app?
Yes. The 279FC supports Fluke Connect wireless connectivity for logging measurements and generating reports via the Fluke Connect mobile application.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 18-inch iFlex flexible current probe enable non-intrusive current measurement?
The iFlex wraps around conductors without breaking connections, eliminating downtime for circuit interruption and allowing current measurement on tight, inaccessible cable runs.
Can the iFlex probe measure current on high-current circuits safely without creating arc risk?
Yes. The non-intrusive clamp design avoids breaking circuits, dramatically reducing arc and short-circuit hazard compared to traditional series-connection ammeters.
What measurement range does the iFlex provide, and is it suitable for both high-current and low-current diagnostics?
The iFlex covers typical HVAC compressor, motor, and drive currents. For exact current rating and minimum detection threshold, contact Procure.ae.
How does the kit's combination of thermal imaging, multimeter, and current probe cover motor health assessment?
Technicians can measure motor voltage and current (detecting imbalances or inrush), while thermal imaging reveals bearing temperature and winding hotspots—a complete motor diagnostic package.
Is the 18-inch iFlex length sufficient for clamping large bus bars or motor terminals in confined electrical rooms?
The 18-inch reach accommodates most motor and distribution connections. For very large conductors or remote locations, contact Procure.ae about extended probes.
How does CAT III 1000V / CAT IV 600V protection apply when using the current probe?
The current probe and multimeter maintain the specified safety ratings. Always verify circuit voltage before measurement and use appropriate input terminals.
