Right out of the box, the Fluke ii900 is ready to use. It’s rugged and ergonomic design make it easy to handle and the large 7” LCD display make leaks easy to see. Within minutes, a user with little-to-no experience can start detecting leaks. When the Fluke engineers were considering the users of the ii900, they wanted to make sure all the necessary components were built-in and easy to access. In addition, the Fluke engineers knew shutting down the plant or putting technicians in harm’s way was out of the question—that’s why they made sure the Fluke ii900 Industrial Acoustic Imager could be used in noisy environments and from a safe distance.

A 100 hp air compressor can consume around $50k in electricity annually and as much as 30% of that electricity goes toward pressurizing airlines that leak. Many facilities have never assessed the efficiency of their compressed air operation and thus, when the system appears to be slowing down or not keeping up with demand, the facilities simply add more capacity. An expensive purchase considering compressed air systems should have relatively little change in capacity over time unless demand has increased, or the system is being sabotaged by leaks.
