PRODUCTS INSPECTION, TEST & MEASUREMENT INDUSTRIAL HANDHELD OSCILLOSCOPE
Today’s industrial machinery is more reliable and efficient but can be more difficult to troubleshoot because of the complexities of its advanced systems. The Fluke ScopeMeter 120B Series Industrial Handheld Oscilloscope is designed to address these challenges with innovative features that improve the speed, efficiency and accuracy of troubleshooting complex electro- mechanical systems. The compact ScopeMeter 120B Series features Connect-and-View technology that recognises signal patterns and automatically sets up the scope’s triggering, amplitude and time base, eliminating the typical trial-and-error setup process. Once the waveform is captured the IntellaSet intelligent measurement detection automatically selects key measurements based on the acquired waveform type and displays the most relevant measurement values (eg Vrms and Hz for a line voltage signal
or Vpeak-peak and Hz for a square wave), helping technicians easily identify and characterise potential signal faults. The 120B Series features an Event Capture function that captures and identifies elusive intermittent events and lists all those events that exceed a predetermined threshold. This allows technicians to identify key events quickly rather than combing through large data sets, reading by reading. As part of Fluke Connect a system of
wireless test tools that communicate via the Fluke Connect app or Fluke Connect Assets software, the 120B Series can automatically record waveform data to the Fluke Connect app on smartphones or tablets ensuring accuracy and eliminating manual recording of data. Those measurements are wirelessly
uploaded to the cloud and can be combined with measurement data from multiple Fluke Connect test tools to create and share reports from the job site via email and collaborate in real time with other colleagues, increasing productivity in the field. Storing then comparing and contrasting
waveforms of specific asset test points over time enables maintenance engineers to better identify and troubleshoot conditions that can lead to failures. The wireless 120B Series allows technicians to place the meter in locations that are difficult to access or are potentially hazardous then take measurements from a safe distance.

MULTIFUNCTION TESTER ENSURES COMPLIANCE To do this the tester incorporates special
Advanced technology electrical testing equipment is helping a specialist manufacturer of electrical wiring harnesses and control panels for diesel engine applications demonstrate compliance with rigorous industry standards. The manufacturing operations of CMR UK has extended its electronic control panel test capability with the purchase of a Seaward HAL 104 multi-function electrical safety tester. The HAL 104 combines the performance of a
multi-function production line safety tester with load and power factor measurement for component and assembly energy consumption and ratings assessments. Incorporating AC/DC Hipot (flash/dielectric strength), the tester can perform load and power functional tests, insulation, ground/earth bond testing to 40A, load testing to 16A with leakage measurement to 20mA. For CMR UK the tester is primarily being used to
provide HV dielectric testing and insulation resistance measurement on panel assemblies to endure electrical safety standards compliance with both BIS and IEC requirements and Marine Classification Society regulations.

SwitchSmart technology that combines conventional testing with a dedicated switching matrix to cater for 3-phase circuits. At CMR this enables the HAL 104 to connect to pairs of conductors successively in a 3 phase system (L1, L2, L3 and Earth). The software then follows an automatic procedure of testing for both dielectric withstand and insulation resistance using the switchsmart to channel the test voltage between different conductors to ensure good insulation between all phases and earth. The complete HAL package is driven by specialist Safety e-Base Pro software that enables fully customisable test sequences to be set up and operated via a PC from any safe and convenient location. The intuitive user-interface provides user prompts in both text and graphical format, saving time and reducing the risk of human error. Traceability is made possible by storing all results on a network drive.

ONLINE MONITORING OF ELECTRICAL ASSETS
Infrared imaging does a great job of detecting thermal anomalies caused by conditions such as loose connections, overhead circuits and unbalanced loads. However, it only provide a snapshot of the faults on the day of inspection, leaving the subject components unmonitored for the balance of the year. To meet this need the IRISS range of
electrical maintenance safety devices (EMSD) includes Delta T Alert, a self- contained, wireless temperature monitoring system that attaches to an electrical enclosure cover. It bridges the gap between infrared inspections by regularly recording and reporting critical temperatures within electro/mechanical enclosures. Simple to install, it comprises two temperature sensors: one monitors the interior temperature within the enclosure and the other, the ambient room temperature. Both are configured to collect data on a daily basis at specific time intervals. The data is wirelessly transmitted for analysis and trending and warns the operator if the internal temperature rises above pre-set thresholds. Remedial action can then be taken before the problem becomes serious and warrants unscheduled system shutdown, incurring costly downtime. This IRISS technology can be specified as
an integral capability of its polymer window products. The combination ensures the problem is verified with no operational disruption. The on-board Delta T Alert system sends a remote alarm giving the location of the problem and temperature details. The maintenance engineer can conduct a thermal scan of the live system through the IRISS infrared window in complete safety. Once the repair is completed and the system re-energised, a second infrared inspection will confirm the fault has been eliminated. The electrical enclosure can then be benchmarked and the system reset with the new baseline temperature delta.
