Hey all, this is the first in a three part series about Fluke’s new line of thermal imagers. First up is the TI200. Now for this series, the Ti200 is the entry level model but don’t let that label fool you, this is a camera that is highly competitive and vastly featured - especially in its price range.
Key Features:
• Powerful high-performance features make troubleshooting fast and easy.
Fluke’s newest offering in the emerging market for Visual IR Thermometers is the Fluke VT04. I recently posted about the Fluke VT02 and mentioned that it has some limitations. Many of these issues have been addressed in VT04 and have set it at the head of the pack for this new kind of tester.
Today we’re going to talk about a tool that, as far as I know, has no current competition or comparable product on the market – the Fluke VT02. While it has its limitations, it is certainly one of the best and most cost-effective choices for certain applications.
Fluke TiS Thermal Imager is no longer manufactured.
Today let’s talk about inexpensive thermal cameras, specifically the Fluke TiS. As you heard from me previously, and know from being in the field, Fluke is a manufacturer at the top of their game. The Tis is Fluke’s entry level offering in the thermal market and it is, as usual, a solid piece of equipment.
This is a post in praise of Fluke. I honestly carry no bias in this and many companies make great products that are comparable in lots of ways. This post is just to let you know exactly what you are getting when you purchase Fluke, specifically their line of thermal imagers.
Even the most versatile tools won’t do everything. I’m sorry to tell you but the thermal camera that also takes electrical readings, tests fiber optic cables, analyzes combustible gases, and cooks you scrambled eggs hasn’t been invented yet. Joking aside, the lesson is that you need choose a tool that, while flexible, is tailored to tackle your specific job. So how do you choose a Fluke camera?
