Flukes new meter family

(1/14) > >>

For a while Fluke has been teasing a new wireless meter family, and today they are having a sneak peek webinar on element14. Unfortunately I can't make the webinar but I was able to find this data sheet on one of their dealers websites.

Right now they are going to have four wireless modules and a main unit. The wireless modules are a voltage monitoring module, a current clamp, a module with a flexible current probe, and a wireless thermocouple module. The main unit can navigate between ten different modules, and read data from four at a time. A computer can monitor ten modules simultaneously. Each module is data logging as well so the main module or computer doesn't have to be in continuous contact with it.

Anyway I think its fairly interesting, although probably less useful for a hobbyist or someone working in a lab, for doing industrial maintenance I can see it being quite handy. More modules are in development supposedly but I'm not sure what else they really need, except for maybe a smaller current clamp.

Looks interesting, nothing else out there is like this.

I wonder if it will eat batteries like the 233 does?  :(

saturation:
Thanks!  Now that's a hot new development.  No maker I know has something like it, another Fluke first, I think.  I found a PR image, its unfortunately fairly large, but the detail is good electronics porn anyway.  Enjoy.

Yuck on the matrix display.  Didn't they learn from the 289?   :(

nack:
Maximum 600mA? Hmmm thans a pitty really. For the matrix display, yeah lets hope they have increased the contrast a bit in comparison to the 289.
