Fluke Mini Thermometer

[Guest123]

I got me (apologises for incorrect grammar) one of these today.

After witnessing recent events I will be adding this feature to all future PIR's/EICR's etc.


It really doesn't add much time to a report and can literally be a lifesaver if something is uncovered by it.


Fluke 62 Mini Infrared Thermometer


Anyone else already carry out this practice as the norm???

got 1 about 6 months ago, not fluke, think it's ethos. good for finding hot spots, bit like michael barrymore , but without the swimming pool.

Yep, I bought that one last week for the same reason.

Only takes a minute to zapp the inside of a CU when its open.

And checking temp of cable out of reach in factories.

If they have those 2 as a bundle for that price I would be ripping their arms clean off for it.

On a small domestic report I would probably add a comment stating that it had been used and all results were within limits etc.

On larger multi board comm/ind reports I may even go so far as to record results at each DB to cover oneself from possible overloading with future additions etc.

If I saw that deal, i'd of had it seeing as I payed £72 for the Fluke 62 on its own.

You need to be careful as to what type of surface you point it to. Applying a black tape or paint will give a more accurate result, the difference can be quite considerable.

Lenny can you focus the two laser dots on the model you have so you know where your at?

The kit arrived yesterday and is spot on.

The Fluke 62 is very compact and easy to use and very good at picking up the different tempertures as you scan it over a fitting or busbar etc.

Look forward to giving it a go.

The T5 seems to be a good bit of kit as well

Excellent idea to have this bit of kit as part of your test equipment. Much cheaper than a Thermal Imager, but then your talking substantially more, ....even for a basic set-up job.

These IR thermometers are another tool in your arsenal to successful fault finding. Often when there are no visual clues as to what's going on within components and equipment, invaluable in those conditions...

 

[mayfair]

Bet you can get one cheap over there m8

My local CEF, they had 4 in as a trial along with some other fluke gear on my reccomendation.

They all went pretty sharpish too.

Most of my own test kit, has been acquired over the years from grateful project main and sub- contractors!! ...lol!!!

The trouble here, is that you really can't tell the fakes from the real kit in many cases. Not until you have done some functional tests within the shop. Take the kit outside the shop, and it's yours forever, good or bad...lol!! And once they see a Gweilo (foreign devil) in the shop they are reluctant to sell at the same price they would sell to a Chinese...

Generally, i've found prices to be around 30 to 40% that of UK internet prices...
