Fluke Australia will showcase it’s recent release of what it describes as the world’s first portable four-channel oscilloscopes engineered for harsh environments on Stand B1018 during AIMEX – Asia-Pacific’s Mining Exhibition 2011, to be held at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, from September 6-9. The Fluke ScopeMeter 190 Series 11 handheld scopes feature four input channels which are fully isolated from each other to undertake differential floating measurements, a critical consideration for trouble shooting fixed installation three-phase power electronic devices like variable speed motor drives.They are also designed to test inverter power electronic technology used in green energy generation and transportation applications. The new scopes are safety rated for Cat III 1000V/Cat IV 600V environments. They also carry the International Protection (IP) -51 dust and drip proof rating, making them suited to industrial and field environments. In particular, the four channels enable users to solve problems, such as signal amplitude or shape variations, by simultaneously inspecting input signals, output signals, feedback loops or safety interlocks.

Fluke’s AIMEX stand will also feature:

• Free SmartView software upgrades for life with the purchase of its Ti32 thermal imager which, the company says, delivers unprecedented performance for trouble-shooting and preventive maintenance of electrical installations, electro-mechanical equipment, process equipment and HVAC/R equipment
• A new advanced family of clamp meters, engineered for testing and maintaining electrical systems, industrial equipment and controls, and commercial and industrial heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) equipment in demanding conditions
• The new CLKTO C-range Infrared Window which enables technicians to inspect high energy equipment safely, without opening enclosures or wearing heavy personal protective equipment (PPE) for protection from electric arc-flash.
