New Fluke Fused Test Probes Provide Added Measurement Protection and Comply With Canadian ESA Standards

EVERETT, WA, Jul 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Fluke Corporation, the global leader in handheld electronic test and
measurement technology, has introduced test probes with built-in fuses
for additional measurement protection.

Fluke FTP Fused Test Probes comply with recommendations of the Electrical
Safety Authority (ESA) of Ontario, Canada, which has led a drive to adopt
fused test leads as an added safety measure for those doing electrical
testing with multimeters.

Fluke Fused Test probes incorporate additional safety features. If the
probe fuse does blow, these probes will still allow the meter to indicate
live voltage. They are rated to CAT III 1000 V and have sheathed tips for
additional safety. These new modular probes can mount onto any modular
lead format. Features include:

-- Built-in fuses for additional measurement protection.
-- Probes allow indication of live voltage even with blown fuse.
-- 2 mm threaded probe tips include removable 4 mm lantern-style spring
contacts and removable GS38 insulated IC caps for probing closely spaced
leads.
-- Operating temperature -- 20 degreesC to 50 degreesC (-5 degreesF to 120
degreesF).
-- CAT III 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V, 10 A rating.

The Fluke FTP Fused Test Probe set is available from Fluke
distributors at a suggested retail price of $74.95 and the Fluke FTP
Fused Test Probe with Test Leads has a suggested retail price of $84.95.
