End User Pain Points – Solved!


Do you need to see interactions in a system,

circuit or machine?

With Fluke CNX, you can monitor

multiple parameters at the same

time, on one screen.

Thus, you can isolate problems

faster.

Do you watch your meter reading to catch when

the intermittent problem in the system or

machine happens?

Do you need to document your measurements?

With Fluke CNX, you don’t have to

wait for measurements.

Logging and time-stamping readings

eliminates the chore of recording by

hand.





Do you need to be in several places at

once just to troubleshoot one piece

of equipment?

With Fluke CNX, you can place

the modules and view the

readings away from the test

point, on your own.

You can set modules to log and

download readings to a

computer later, at your

convenience from a safer or

more comfortable location.



Do you work in hazardous

environments or put on PPE for

every measurement?

With Fluke CNX, you can

take measurements further

away from dangerous

locations – whether from in

front of a closed panel or

away from moving or loud

machinery.

A very powerful product


Fluke CNX products are safety

category rated for use on 3-Phase and

fixed installations.

– Meter is CAT III 1000 / CAT IV

600

– Modules (with exception of the

temperature module) are CAT III

1000 / CAT IV 600

The maximum distance between the

meter and modules is 66 Feet!

Batteries are standard AA batteries and

will last for weeks.

You Speak. Fluke Listens.


This will lessen the “run around” in my day

to day work. I spend a lot of time going up

and down ladders. Now, I can place the

modules on the roof and take the readings at

my convenience from the ground.

- HVAC Technician

I used to set up 4x 289s so I could log three

phases and voltage at the same time to

identify intermittent problems; with this I’ll

be able to view and store all the readings in

one system, on one screen. This will save

me a lot of hassle!

- Power Station Electrician

I often need to manipulate controls on one

side of a piece of equipment and take

measurements at a different point. Because

of the size of the equipment, I have to get

someone to help me. With this, I could do it

all myself.

- Facilities Maintenance Electrician

This will increase my employees’

productivity and safety. They can spend less

time directly in the line of danger by placing

the modules and leaving to view the

readings in a safer environment.
