Description

Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager

The Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager is an advanced industrial acoustic imaging camera designed for compressed air leak detection, gas leak identification, and partial discharge inspection. Developed by Fluke, the ii900 combines ultrasonic sensing technology with real-time visual imaging to help maintenance teams identify hidden leaks quickly and efficiently.

Engineered for predictive maintenance and industrial reliability programs, the Fluke ii900 enables technicians to reduce energy waste, improve equipment uptime, and enhance workplace safety across manufacturing plants, utilities, data centers, and industrial facilities.

What is the Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager?

The Fluke ii900 is a handheld acoustic imaging device that uses an array of microphones to detect ultrasonic sound waves generated by leaks and electrical discharge events.

The system converts acoustic signals into visual SoundMap images displayed directly on the touchscreen, enabling users to locate issues rapidly even in noisy industrial environments.

The device is commonly used for:

• Compressed air leak detection
• Vacuum leak inspection
• Gas leak identification
• Partial discharge detection
• Electrical inspection
• Predictive maintenance programs

How the Fluke ii900 Works

The acoustic imager uses an array of ultrasonic microphones to capture high-frequency sound generated by leaks or electrical discharge.

The system processes these signals and creates a SoundMap overlay that visually pinpoints the sound source on the display.

This enables operators to:

• Detect leaks rapidly
• Scan large areas efficiently
• Reduce inspection time
• Minimize production interruptions

Advantages of the Fluke ii900

Faster Inspections

Large industrial systems can be scanned in minutes rather than hours.

Reduced Energy Waste

Compressed air leaks are detected before they become costly.

Improved Safety

Technicians can inspect energized electrical systems from safer distances.

Enhanced Reliability

Early detection helps prevent unplanned equipment downtime.
