Fluke has released its 2062 Advanced Pro Wire Tracer Kit to troubleshoot energised and de-energised wires accurately and safely in residential, commercial and industrial environments up to CATIV 600V.

Offering the highest protection available on any wire tracer, the CAT is designed to protect you from the most dangerous levels of transient overvoltage (spikes up to 8000V) that can occur in industrial and utility environments. This is especially important for scenarios you may encounter in environments like industrial plants, factories, hospitals where critical equipment cannot be taken offline.

The patented Smart Sensor, available only on the Fluke 2062, makes wire tracing faster and easier. It locates and displays energised wires within walls, floors and ceilings on a high-resolution 3.5” TFT LCD colour display.

Embedded help screens on the display make it easy to use, whether you’re a novice or an expert, While the tip sensor provides an audible tone when locating wires, the Smart Sensor helps visualise and pinpoint the orientation of energised wires, eliminating guesswork.

Whether troubleshooting electrical wiring and equipment in residential homes, commercial buildings or high-voltage utility plants, the Fluke 2062 can find breaks or opens and shorts. Its different modes and functions give you the flexibility to troubleshoot a wide range of electrical wiring and circuitry problems you may encounter on the job.

The 2062-R Receiver detects the signal in wires and cables using two methods: passive tracing without the transmitter for non-contact voltage detection and active tracing with the transmitter for all other modes. The receiver’s tip sensor can trace wires in corners, tight spaces and junction boxes.

Smart Sensor mode is available for energised wire detection and visualisation on the large colour LCD with Tip Sensor mode added for more precise detection of a wire. Also included is Breaker mode, providing easy breaker and fuse identification based on the highest recorded signal detected from the transmitter, and Non-Contact Voltage Detection mode, allowing the user to trace energised wires without the use of the transmitter.

The 2000-T Transmitter features high, low and loop modes. These modes change the strength of the induced signal and can help provide more accurate results, depending on the circuit you’re tracing.

High mode can be used for normal energised and de-energised circuits whereas Low mode gives precision tracing with a low signal to reduce coupling to nearby wires and metal objects. Loop mode is also optional for closed loop de-energised circuits.

In addition, the 2000-T automatically senses whether the system is energised or de-energised and selects a 6kHz or 33kHz output frequency and its extra sensitivity levels mean more flexibility and accuracy when tracing.
