Fluke 1507 Insulation Resistance Tester

The Fluke 1507 Insulation Resistance Tester stands out because of its enormous measurement range from 0.01MΩ to 10GΩ. Five different test voltages of 50V, 100V, 250V, 500V and 1000V allow a great deal of choice for the user whilst usability is further bolstered by a range of advanced features. Most notably, AC/DC voltage measurement up to 600V and earth bond resistance measurement add important extra options to the principal use of insulation testing.

Polarisation index and dielectric absorption ratio are automatically calculated by the Fluke 1507, thus saving time, and the 'compare' function means that repetitive tests are streamlined via a pass/fail function. Furthermore, a remote probe brings greater access to awkward test locations as well as making measurement repetition easier and simpler.

Test results are displayed on the Fluke 1507’s backlit digital screen whilst pass/fail and dangerous voltage indications are shown in the form of LED lights. The user benefits from simple dial operation and a large ‘test’ button which is easy to press when wearing gloves.

The Fluke 1507 is an extremely safe instrument thanks to its automatic voltage detection which prevents tests when a voltage of 30V or over is detected. The inputs are safety rated as Cat IV up to 600V so the user can have confidence when operating the instrument.

The product comes supplied with test leads, probe tips and crocodile clips. Overall, the Fluke 1507 constitutes a sophisticated, safe insulation tester with impressive measurement capabilities.

Fluke true-rms Multimeter 175

The Fluke 175 True RMS Multimeter is an advanced, accurate multimeter that provides the user with precise measurements for a number of electrical variables including AC/DC voltage (1000V), AC/DC current (10A), resistance (50MΩ), capacitance (9999µF), and frequency (99.99kHz). The 175 can also be used for continuity and diode testing whilst a wide array of ranges and resolutions for each parameter - including mA and mV - allow for precise readings during inspections.

A quick response time helps save time and pick up the small fluctuations in values during measurements.

Readings are shown on the Fluke 175’s 6000-count display and the user benefits from both data hold and auto hold which keeps stable readings on screen until another stable value is available. Furthermore, min/max/avg recording contributes to a comprehensive picture of system performance via the Fluke 175.

The Fluke 175 gives a visual warning of dangerous voltage levels on screen and also reminds the user to check the test lead inputs when the dial is changed so it is a safe instrument to use. The inputs are rated as Cat III up to 1000V and Cat IV up to 600V.

Simple dial and push button operation means that the Fluke 175 is easy to use and the lightweight design and probe storage slots means that it is easy to transport. Test leads and a 9V battery come supplied with the product as standard.

Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter

The Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter is a handheld meter that provides reliable vibration screening fir mechanical troubleshooting capable of reputable, severity scaled readings of the overall vibration and bearing condition. The 805 measures the overall vibration as well as specific variables including bearing conditions and temperatures providing the user with a more complete picture of what is happening. The 805 provides consistent data quality at both low (10Hz to 1,000Hz) and high (4,000Hz to 20,000Hz) frequency.

The Fluke 805 provides users with a fault severity scale with four severity levels allowing for prioritisation of maintenance work and bearing conditions. The easy to use user interface minimises the user input to RPM and equipment type

Crest Factor +

Fluke uses a proprietary algorithm known as Crest Factor + which values range between 1 to 16. As a bearing condition worsens the Crest Factor + value increases. The four step severity scale identifies the bearing health as Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory or Unacceptable.

The Fluke 805 uses a coloured lighting system of green and red alongside on screen comments to indicate to the user how much pressure is needed to be applied for measurements to be taken. The incorporated Spot IR Sensor increases the diagnostic capabilities

The 805 Vibration Meter has an IP54 rating offering protection from water and dust ingress and is drop tested up to 1m. The incorporated flashlight further adds to the 805's use in dark environments. Powered by two AA batteries, the user is able to obtain 250 measurements before the batteries need replacing.

Export and Trend in Microsoft® Excel

The Fluke 805 stores up to 3,500 measurements on the on board memory. Each measurement can be further analysed on a PC using Microsoft® Excel with the data transferred via USB.

Using the pre built Microsoft® Excel templates and plot graphs users can track machines health over time in order to trend bearing parameters such as overall vibration, CF+ and temperature. Viewing the trend patterns allows for abnormalities to be spotted and user can have a clear picture of changing bearing condition and deterioration of a machine
