Fluke has announced the expansion of its Premium Care support plans to include a wide range of market-leading instruments for industrial and electrical applications. Fluke Premium Care covers routine instrument calibration and performance testing to ensure compliance with the latest regulations, as well as the repair and replacement of damaged accessories. It also offers comprehensive technical support to help customers more quickly overcome challenges with their critical equipment.
Selected instruments from Fluke's range of acoustic chambers, power quality analyzers and recorders, multifunction photovoltaic performance testers and analyzers, ScopeMeters, motor drive analyzers, and process calibrators can now be covered under Fluke Premium Care.
Chris Ulfig, Fluke's Technical Sales Manager, emphasized that Premium Care should not be viewed as additional coverage or an extended warranty.
“Fluke Premium Care is a way to ensure that any disruption to production and performance is minimized, thus maintaining business continuity for our customers,” he stated.
“Less downtime means increased productivity, greater efficiency, higher profits, and more satisfied end users. Furthermore, fully calibrated equipment is not only more reliable but also safer, and safety is non-negotiable. Fluke Premium Care eliminates the worry of accidental damage or related issues with compliance, calibration, or performance verification to ensure you get the most out of your instruments.”
Fluke Premium Care offers customers a cost-effective way to keep their instruments in top condition, providing coverage that extends beyond the original product warranty. This helps users avoid unexpected downtime caused by faulty test equipment, accessories, or instruments requiring calibration or repair. Annual cost comparisons demonstrate that Fluke Premium Care can save thousands of euros in equipment maintenance and repair. This plan also supports customers who need to
calibrate
or verify the performance of their industrial instruments annually.
Fluke Premium Care's calibration and performance maintenance service ensures that test instruments consistently deliver accurate results and meet the latest standards. With fast calibration, repair, and shipping, Fluke customers can also save time and return to work at peak efficiency, safety, and productivity.
Accuracy and reliability lower operating costs and increase return on investment.
The Fluke ii900 Industrial Acoustic Camera and ii910 Precision Acoustic Camera are now supplied with a one- or three-year Fluke Premium Care plan. Fluke acoustic cameras offer maintenance teams the fastest way to accurately locate air, gas, and vacuum leaks in compressed gas systems. These seemingly minor issues can significantly impact a company's operating costs: a single 3mm leak in a compressed air line can cost more than $2,500 per year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Department.
In addition, a 100 hp air compressor consumes about $50,000 in electricity annually and can waste up to 30% of that energy pressurizing leaking air lines. It is highly advantageous to use equipment with proven annual performance to ensure accuracy, reliability, and safety when inspecting large areas or hazardous environments at distances of up to 50 meters.
In measuring instruments used to generate safety and performance reports, such as power quality analyzers or multifunction testers, regular calibration is essential to ensure compliance and guarantee accurate and conclusive measurements. With Fluke Premium Care, the return on investment for Fluke's market-leading industrial and electrical instruments is substantially increased.
Direct access to experts
“Fluke industrial and electrical instruments are known for their rugged design and safety, but instruments and accessories can be accidentally damaged, especially when equipment is used by inexperienced or minimally trained users,” Ulfig noted.
“Calibration and performance testing are also paramount to ensuring equipment accuracy and reliability. Fluke Premium Care ensures customers have direct access to industrial and electrical instrument experts who can help them reduce downtime, increase throughput, control expenses, and save money in the process.”
Fluke Premium Care is a comprehensive solution that provides greater peace of mind to electrical contractors and maintenance technicians working in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, as well as to those responsible for purchasing electrical and industrial testing equipment.
