New wireless insulation tester and multimeter
Don Horne
BHD Instruments offers the Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter. This wireless high performance digital insulation tester includes a full-featured true-rms digital multimeter (DMM) combined into one versatile handheld tool. It provides enhanced versatility for both troubleshooting and preventive maintenance applications. As part of Fluke Connect, a system of software and more than 30 wireless test tools, the 1587 FC adds four powerful new diagnostic capabilities when used in conjunction with the Fluke Connect smartphone app. PI/DAR (polarity index/dielectric absorption ratio) with TrendIt graphs identifies moisture and contamination problems faster, memory storage through the mobile Fluke Connect app reduces errors by eliminating the need to write down results, temperature compensation helps establish accurate baselines and relevant historical comparisons, and historical tracking and trending of assets identifies degradation over time, allowing real-time decisions in the field.
