Working on electrical wiring and high voltages can be a hazardous undertaking. Although there are preventive measures that one can implement (such as PPE’s and insulated tools) this can only do the bare minimum when you’re under electrical dangers. Luckily, with the innovations of technology, maintenance workers can be more at ease when doing high-risk rounds. By using the new and improved FieldSense technology it can guarantee more safety for the men at work. Its improved functions can attest to this.

However, maintenance professionals are aware of the risks and have undergone preventive training. It’s always preferable to work with tools that can ensure safety and can do the job right. And Fluke tools have just about every unit of these safe and efficient devices that is every maintenance man’s dream tool.

What is FieldSense Technology?

In simple terms, FiledSense Technology is the new and improved way of measuring simultaneous voltage and currents. Basically, the traditional way of measuring such risky parts of a machine or panels is by poking and touching certain parts of the machine that can endanger a man at work. 

However, with the use of FieldSense Technology, it has the capacity to eliminate more risks. Initially, the old way of measuring this is by being in contact with electrical conductors with the use of test leads. This method requires metal-to-metal contact that may carry potential arc flash or electrical shock.

But then again, with the use of this advanced tool, it’s one worry of maintenance and troubleshooting men that they can finally be at peace with.

Safe measurements using FieldSense Technology.

We’re running down facts on how using FieldSense Technology can benefit you on the field. Ultimately, workers (such as commercial and industrial electricians) can use Fieldsense technology for voltage and current measurements, verifying continuity values, and testing individual circuits. However, there is more to this device than just those previously stated.

Aside from its amazing functions, these are some of the things on how this devi9ce can benefit any maintenance or troubleshooting professional on the field.

An option of no metal-to-metal contact

One of the greatest and most favored functions of FieldSense Technology is its ability to measure without metal contact. Unlike most devices that need test probes or alligator clips that need to be connected to the conductor to get accurate readings, FieldSense technology does not require those technicalities.

Basically, in doing so, you are also putting your safety at risk since these kinds of procedures may trigger sparks, arc flashes, or electric shock.

However, by using the new and advanced Fluke FieldSense Technology, you can put yourself at ease since it doesn’t require any contact. This technology allows you to measure ac voltage, current, and frequency through the cable’s insulation by sliding the fork of the tester over the conductor. Therefore, there will be no direct electrical contact with live voltage lessening the risks of dire circumstances.

FieldSense Technology offers more than fault detection.

There will be no shortage of devices that can measure voltage and Fluke tools are one of them. Being recognized as one of the best test tools in the market, Fluke innovates devices to further meet the needs of workers in this continuously advancing world. With this said, Fluke FieldSense offers this kind of innovation by going beyond voltage detection.

Ultimately, this device can also offer to accurately measure the given voltage. Basically, by having this device in your back pocket, you now have voltage detection and a measurement tool, all in one device! Sounds great? There’s more coming! 

FieldSense technology can reduce the need to open panels.

Fluke FieldSense is also known for its fast and easy measurement methods. One of the ways that this device is tagged as a quick measurement tool is because it doesn’t really require you to open any panels. Have the ease to take measurements at any point along the conductor. Technically, you only need to slide its fork-like top to one of the single conducting wires and read the results. Easy and one, two, three!

Take measurements without fussing.

No need to worry about test leads or probes with this one. And when we say you no longer need them, we mean it! FiledSense can still accurately measure voltage without them. What’s cool? Because you no longer need additional accessories for this one, you can have the ability to multitask. Have your FieldSense technology on one hand while doing other priorities on the other.

Its fork-like top can give you the ease of isolating individual hot and neutral wires which in turn helps reduce the chance of accidental contact with another voltage point and the likelihood of errors. Save more time and accomplish more things with this little device!

It promotes proper operation.

Initially, when you’re about to operate on something using any Fluke device a rule of thumb before each operation is making sure that the FLuke device is working smoothly before undergoing any tests. In as much, the FieldSense technology makes sure of this. If you’re a newbie on the field have the habit of testing your device before and after living tests to ensure security and more accurate measurements.
