Webinar: Facilities Maintenance with Fluke


Proactive maintenance and energy savings strategies are essential for cost savings in facilities. <br/><br/>We’ve teamed up with Fluke to provide you with a thorough discussion on proactive maintenance strategies – approaches, tools, and the proper “health” measurements on critical assets. As managing energy costs are also critical, we will also explore how implementing an onsite compressed air and gas leak detection program, facilities can save tens of thousands of dollars annually and production equipment downtime. The latest test equipment advances have made it possible for users to perform leak inspections with little to no training in a fraction of the time versus conventional tools.<br/><br/>During this short webinar on Facilities Maintenance, we covered:<ul><li>Monitoring critical assets with fewer resources </li><li>Bridging the skills gap</li><li>Why are we replacing the same bearings and seals over and over?</li><li>What are the best tools to use?</li><li> How do we justify the cost of the tools and resources?</li><li>How do we start a Proactive Maintenance program?</li></ul>

Why you need the Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter


Insulation multimeters are an integrated tool for maintaining and troubleshooting motor systems, electrical distribution, and production equipment. Carrying the Fluke 1587 FC will enable you to test insulation more often, making your maintenance tests more thorough and your troubleshooting more effective.<br/><br/>This multimeter combines a TRMS digital multimeter and a digital insulation tester in a single, compact unit. For this reason, it is capable of measuring a higher resistance than the average multimeter; allowing you to know when a cable is leaking under high voltage - see 0:25.<br/><br/>Its compatibility with Fluke Connect® makes it even more of an asset in your toolbox!
