The 279 FC multimeter is a full-featured multimeter with built-in thermal imager that reveals hot spots that may indicate electrical issues quickly and safely.

Thermal imaging multimeters are a first-line troubleshooting tool for electrical equipment that can check hot spots on high-voltage equipment and transformers, and detect heating of fuses, wires, insulators, connectors, splices and switches. Scanning with the 279 FC's thermal imager reveals many electrical issues rapidly and from a safe distance. By combining two tools into one, this thermal multimeter lightens the load and increases productivity.

Expanded functionality

This digital multimeter is compatible with iFlex® (a flexible current clamp) to expand your measurement capabilities and get into tight, hard to reach spaces for current measurement (up to 2500 A AC). This electrical multimeter has a large full-color LCD screen makes for easier and clearer viewing of images and readings.

The 10 hour+ rechargeable battery keeps you going all day long under normal conditions.

Communicate your results

With built-in Fluke Connect®, transmit results wirelessly to a smartphone and save time on reporting to validate work is complete. Troubleshoot better by instantly trending and monitoring measurements live on your smartphone screen. Create and email reports right from the field.
