TECHNICAL DATA Fluke 279 FC Thermal Multimeter Find. Repair. Validate. Report. The 279 FC is a full-featured digital multimeter with integrated thermal imaging and is designed to increase your productivity and confidence. The thermal multimeter helps you find, repair, validate, and report many electrical issues quickly so that you are confident problems are solved. Locate the problem immediately Thermal imaging multimeters are a first-line troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment that can check hot spots on high-voltage equipment and transformers, detect heating of fuses, wires, insula- tors, connectors, splices and switches. Scanning with the 279 FCs thermal imager reveals many electrical issues rapidly and from a safe distance. By combining two tools into one, the thermal multi- CAMERA meter lightens the load and increases productivity.
