Electrical Testers That Talk To Your iPhone Or Android Smartphone

Even though modern electrical and environmental test equipment utilises the latest technology to deliver quick, reliable and accurate results, this hasn’t stopped one of the industry’s biggest names from developing yet another up to the minute solution.

Last year, Fluke launched Connect, a test and measurement system designed specifically for smartphones, which features wireless capability and a dedicated app to capture and share data. After carrying out a test, your measurement data is sent straight to your mobile device and then uploaded to a secure cloud account with 24/7 access.

Seeing as we rely on smartphones for almost everything else in daily life, the prospect of using electrical testers that talk to your iPhone or Android might not feel overly strange to many. But how does Fluke Connect work and what can it do? Here with a look at this system is electrical test equipment specialists Instrotech.

How does it Work?

Fluke Connect uses Bluetooth, which is already built-in to a range of new test meters, to communicate with the free smartphone app. After registering, you will also be given 5GB of secure cloud storage at no extra cost.

Pairing your test equipment and smartphone is actually quite straightforward, as each meter has a dedicated button to activate the wireless transmitter, which the app will communicate with automatically.

As soon as you take a measurement on your meter, this data is captured by the app in real-time and then sent to the cloud. Up to 20 meters can be connected to the app simultaneously, with each one receiving its own unique ID number, which can also be renamed.

What can it do?

With Fluke Connect, electrical testing becomes a more accurate and efficient process. Lines of communication between colleagues are also improved and prolonged problem solving can become a thing of the past.
