and charge it separately from the unit
which means you have to be organised
enough to make sure the rechargeable
lithium battery pack is charged before
you’re on site.
I’m sure most sparkies would agree,
charging your multimeter battery before
you go onsite is the last thing you want
to be thinking about. Most guys I know
carry a spare 9v battery in their van for
their traditional meters. The problem
is compounded further by the fact the
battery pack doesn’t fit in the same
case as the multimeter. So there’s a fair
chance it could be lost or left behind – a
spare battery would be good!
Overall, it’s great to have a multimeter
and thermal imaging combination like this
– it’s a handy little unit and I’m sure it will
get a lot of use in many applications.
The Fluke Thermal Multimeter 279 FC
has a nice robust design and feels very
sturdy to hold and is not awkward at all.
The iFlex clamp is also manufactured
to a high standard. Both are typical of
Fluke quality.
