Evolving to a Safer Future
Wireless tools and their corresponding software are continuing to evolve. With some wireless tools, tech- nicians can view measurements in real time on their phones, laptops or tablets and share those results with team members in multiple locations. Measurement data also can be stored securely in the cloud and accessed by authorized users next time they’re on-site, allowing for better decision-making on the fly. That’s the true source of electrical safety.

Fluke 1736 FC Power Logger
and 1738 FC Advanced Power Logger
The Fluke 1736 and 1738 Three-Phase Power Loggers built with Fluke Connect® mobile app and desktop software compatibility
give you the data you need to make critical power quality and energy decisions in real-time. The ideal test tools for conducting energy studies and basic power quality logging, the 1736 and 1738 automatically capture and log over 500 power quality parameters so you have more visibility into the data you need to optimize system reliability and savings.
An optimized user interface, flexible current probes, and an intel- ligent measurement verification function that allows you to reduce measurement errors by digitally verifying and correcting common connection errors makes setup easier than ever and reduces mea- surement uncertainty. Access and share data remotely with your team via the Fluke Connect® app so you can maintain safer working distances and make critical decisions in real-time, reducing the need for protective equipment, site visits and check-ins.
You can also quickly and easily chart and graph measurements to help identify issues and create detailed reports with the included Fluke Energy Analyze Plus software package.
• Measure all three phases and neutral with included 4 flexible current probes.
• Comprehensive logging: More than 20 separate logging sessions can be stored on the instruments. In fact, all measured values are automatically logged so you never loose measurement trends. They can even be reviewed during logging sessions and before downloading for real-time analysis.
Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter The high-performance 2-in-1 insulation DMM
The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeters combine a digital insula- tion tester with a full-featured, true-rms digital multimeter in a single compact, handheld unit, which provides maximum versatility for both troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter adds four powerful new diag- nostic functions through the Fluke Connect® Measurements app:
• PI/DAR timed ratio tests with TrendItTM graphs identifies moisture and contaminated insulation problems faster
• Memory storage through Fluke Connect eliminates writing down re- sults, reduces errors and saves data for historical tracking over time
• Temperature Compensation through app for establishing accurate baselines and relevant historical comparisons
• Historical tracking and trending of assets identifies degradation over time, allows real-time decisions to be made in the field with Fluke Connect® Assets
Other highlights include:
• PI/DAR timed ratio tests
• Live circuit detection prevents insulation test if voltage > 30 V is
• Capture dips, swells, and inrush currents: includes event wave- form snapshot and high resolution RMS profile, along with date, timestamp and severity to help pinpoint potential root causes of power quality issues.
• Bright, color touch screen: Perform convenient in-the-field analy- sis and data checks with full graphical display.
• Optimized user interface: Capture the right data every time with quick, guided, graphical setup and reduce uncertainty about your connections with the intelligent verification function.
• Complete “in-the-field” setup through the front panel or Fluke Connect App: no need to return to the workshop for download and setup or to take a computer to the electrical panel.
• Fully integrated logging: Connect other Fluke Connect devices to the Fluke 1738 to simultaneously log up to two other measure- ment parameters, virtually any parameter available on a Fluke Connect wireless digital multimeter or module.*
• Energy Analyze Plus application software: Download and analyze every detail of energy consumption and power quality state of health with our automated reporting
