4 Fluke Corporation Fluke 120B Series Industrial ScopeMeter® Hand-Held Oscilloscopes
Use the comprehensive
recorder modes to help find
intermittent faults with ease
The toughest faults to find are
those that happen only once
in a while—intermittent events.
They can be caused by bad
connections, dust, dirt, corro-
sion or simply broken wiring
or connectors. Other factors,
like line outages and sags or
the starting and stopping of
a motor, can also cause inter-
mittent events resulting in
equipment shutdowns. When
these events happen, you may
not be around to see it. But,
your Fluke ScopeMeter® Test
Tool will. You can either plot the
minimum and maximum peak
measurement values or record
the waveform trace. And, with
expandable micro SD memory,
recording sessions can be done
for up to 14 days. This recorder
is even more powerful with
the addition of Recorder Event
Detect, which makes detect-
ing and logging intermittent
faults easier than ever. Just set a
threshold on a meter reading or
scope trace and deviations are
tagged as unique events. You no
longer need to search through
masses of data to pinpoint faults,
and can quickly step from one
tagged event to the next, while
still having access to the full
data set.
Industrial Bus Health Test
verifies electrical signal
quality on industrial buses
Bus Health Test analyzes the
electrical signals on the indus-
trial bus or network and gives
a clear “Good”, “Weak” or “Bad”
indication mark for each of the
relevant parameters, presented
next to the actual measurement
value. Measured values are
compared to standard values
based on the selected bus types
(CAN-bus, Profi-bus, Foundation
Field, RS-232 and many more),
or, unique reference values
can be set if different toler-
ances are required. The Fluke
125B can validate the quality
of the electrical signals as soon
as they are passed along the
network, without looking at the
data content. Additionally, the
125B checks the signal levels
and speed, transition times and
distortion, and compares these
to the appropriate standards
to help you find errors such as
improper cable connections, bad
contacts, incorrect grounding or
improper terminators.

Quickly step through recorded events
to identify and troubleshoot intermittent

Automated industrial machinery
is harder than ever to trouble
shoot. It’s not enough to just
know where you have to test,
you also have to know what to
look for—and that can be hard
without baseline measurement
data or access to subject matter
experts. The Fluke Connect®
Assets wireless system of
software and wireless test tools
enables technicians to reduce
maintenance costs and increase
uptime with accurate equip-
ment records and maintenance
data that is easy to interpret,
and share. Compare and
contrast test point measure-
ment data and trends so you
can better understand signal
characteristics and changes
over time. And, by storing
maintenance data on the Fluke
Cloud™ you can enable team
members to access it from
wherever and whenever they
need to so you can get advice
or approvals in the field and
get your systems up and run-
ning faster than ever before.
