Quality power for critical operations
We recognize that keeping power systems operating at peak
performance is critical to the success of your business. When
you have a problem you need to identify the cause quickly, cor-
rectly and completely to determine the best technical and
economic solution. Ideally, you would even identify and prevent
problems before they happen. Fluke Power Quality can help you
troubleshoot problems you know you have, determine the cur-
rent state of your systems, and even predict when failures are
about to happen.
RPM and Fluke combine to
form Fluke Power Quality
Fluke Corporation is the worlds leading manufacturer of elec-
tronic test tools and software for maintenance of critical systems
including power, electronics, networks and biomedical. Fluke
purchased Reliable Power Meters in 2002 because users
acknowledge RPM products as being technically excellent and
rugged. The combined expertise and technology of Fluke and
RPM make up Fluke Power Quality.
Fluke Power Quality provides portable and installed power
quality instruments for both in-depth analysis and fast trou-
bleshooting. As part of the Fluke family you can continue to
count on the high quality products, solutions and service you
received from RPM and expect from Fluke.
Fluke tools are used by professionals around the world, to
help keep business and industry up and running. We are com-
mitted to manufacturing rugged, reliable test tools designed for
safety and ease of use. We pride ourselves on listening to and
supporting our fellow technicians and engineers who rely on
our products.
Purchasing analysis instruments
and troubleshooting tools
Fluke Power Quality analysis instruments like Power Recorder,
Multipoint and Insite may be configured for specific applica-
tions. The critical nature of these applications demands
expertise in the field, to make sure the instrument fits the
application. Our power quality analysis products are supported
by a network of direct sales representatives, while our
troubleshooting tools, like the Fluke 189 are available at a
moments notice from your local authorized distributor.

RPM Full Disclosure DSP

Technology and Analysis Software

Every measurement, every event, on every cycle, all the

time without thresholds.
Full Disclosure Technology is part of all Fluke
and RPM three-phase power quality tools.
Full Disclosure Technology uses patented
sampling hardware and algorithms to record
everything your loads see.
The sampling system processes every cycle
on all channels, recording min/max/avg
values and looking for sags, swells, or
transients.
The system can store thousands of events
you can see everything from sub-cycle
events to long-term outages with clear
detail.
Records power parameters, rms voltage, Full Disclosure technology captures thousands of voltage events and
related current information, without having to set thresholds.
rms current, harmonics, flicker and monitors
for power quality events on all channels Because there are no thresholds to set, Full

No need to set thresholds. You wont be dis- changes in measurements, even the ones
appointed by missed events or a memory that are almost out of tolerance
