The Fluke ii500 acoustic camera is an innovative tool for the precise detection and localization of gas leaks. With its user-friendly and robust design, it enables maintenance teams to efficiently detect leaks and prioritize their repair. The Fluke ii500 is the latest generation of sonic cameras and offers a more cost-effective solution compared to other models in the range, while still incorporating impressive features and technology.
Features of the Fluke ii500:
- Frequency range: 2 to 52 kHz
- Detection range: Up to 50 meters
- Sight camera resolution: 0.3 megapixels
- Battery life: 6 hours
- Memory: 20 GB
- LeakQ technology: This technology estimates the size of leaks as well as the resulting costs. Prioritization according to the severity index (1-10) enables critical leaks to be repaired first.
- SoundMap overlay: An acoustic map is superimposed over the visual image on the 7-inch LCD touchscreen to make it easier to locate leaks.
- Intuitive user interface: Allows leak frequencies to be isolated and background noise to be filtered, providing accurate results even in noisy environments.
The Fluke ii500 variant presented here was designed as an entry-level model that specializes primarily in the detection of gas leaks. Compared to the larger ii905 and ii915 models, the following differences should be emphasized:
- Frequency range: The ii500 has a frequency range of 2 to 52 kHz. The ii905 operates in a range of 2 to 65 kHz, while the ii915 covers an extended range of 2 to 100 kHz.
- Detection range: While the ii500 covers up to 50 meters, the ii905 and ii915 offer a longer range of 70 and 120 meters respectively, making them suitable for larger industrial applications. 120 meters, which makes them more suitable for larger industrial environments.
- Additional modes: The ii905 and ii915 models have extended functions compared to the ii500. Of particular note here are the PDQ mode for detecting partial discharges and the MecQ mode for detecting mechanical anomalies on the ii915. These functions make the camera more versatile, especially for maintenance teams who need to monitor not only leaks, but also electrical and mechanical problems.
- Camera resolution: The view cameras of the ii905 and ii915 models offer a significantly higher resolution of 5 megapixels compared to the ii500, which is equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera.
- Storage capacity: The ii905 and ii915 each offer 32 GB of storage space, while the ii500 is equipped with 20 GB, which is more than sufficient for most inspection requirements.
