THE INVISIBLE THREAT
YOU CAN NOW SEE
Tired of spending too much time detecting partial discharge? Engineered to locate partial discharge (PD), corona discharge, and gas and vacuum leaks, the Fluke ii910 Precision Acoustic Imager is the device you need.
T
he Fluke ii910 acoustic imaging camera's groundbreaking technology makes it a cost-efficient, safe, effective, and comfortable tool for teams who inspect and maintain power distribution and industrial high voltage equipment. The Fluke ii910 is designed so that anyone can use it with little to no training. Simply turn on the device with one button, select your frequency range (or let the tool do that for you) and immediately start scanning for PD or leaks. Once you find a concerning image of a sound, you can use the Fluke ii910 to capture a video or photo to be used after you have added text annotations. If you want more details about a specific leak or PD, simply switch into PDQ or LeakQ mode.
Quickly scan the area and get all the pictures and videos you need with the simple one button capture and large 7” touchscreen LCD. Without cumbersome secondary cables or devices, you have total mobility and flexibility to swap between detecting and fixing the leak/PD. No additional tools or equipment are required to operate the Fluke ii910. Gone are the days of wearing headphones and listening for very faint sounds, or squinting at a small screen to locate issues. Everything you need to locate issues from a distance is contained within the Fluke ii910, with no cords or other accessories hanging down and getting tangled. Simply pick it up, turn it on and start locating hidden issues.
DO IT FASTER AND SAFER Partial discharge is a serious issue that teams monitor every day. Whether you are scanning insulators, transformers, switch gears, or high voltage powerlines, you need to be sure that you can spot a problem early. Partial discharge that goes unchecked can cause blackouts, fires, explosions, or even death when arc flashes occur.
SAFETY YOU CAN TRUST WITH PERFORMANCE YOU VALUE The Fluke ii910 Precision Acoustic Imager is the perfect tool for high voltage electricians, electrical test engineers, and grid maintenance teams that are constantly inspecting and maintaining power distribution and industrial high voltage equipment. The Fluke ii910 makes maintaining high voltage equipment and preventing
potentially catastrophic events easier and safer than ever. With the unit’s unique SoundSight™ technology, the Fluke ii910 translates the sounds that it hears into a visual representation so that you can quickly locate problem areas on the device’s screen. It has a high frequency range of 2-100Khz to allow for the early detection of potential issues, thereby facilitating early preventative maintenance planning.
SAFETY YOU EXPECT WITH THE RUGGED PRODUCT YOU TRUST Safety is key when working on high voltage equipment, and at Fluke, safety is paramount. Due to the combination of specific microphone positions and a sophisticated algorithm, the Fluke ii910 Precision Acoustic Imager can detect PD and corona discharge from up to 120m away. This means that you can remain even further away than the required safety distance while still being effective at locating problem areas. In addition, Fluke’s acoustic imaging technology is able to pick up reflections of sounds, so a direct line of sight is not required to locate a problem. Now you can locate PD without ever opening a cabinet.
