The Fluke 279 FC/iFlex includes 279 FC TRMS Thermal Multimeter, an 18” (45.72 cm) iFlex Flexible Current Probe, TL175 test leads, rechargeable lithium ion battery and charger, soft carrying case and TPAK hanging strap. The 279 FC is designed with all the benefits of a basic thermal imager and tosses in a TRMS multimeter. The 279 FC/iFlex the ability to detect heating of insulators, fuses, splices, wires, connectors and switches plus the added iFlex current measurement adpater, adding measurement of AC current to 2500 Amps. The 279FC also allows you to hunt for hot spots on high-voltage insulators and transformers from a safe working distance.
