Product Overview
Fluke iSee™ TC01A/TC01B is a family of thermal cameras for smartphones from Fluke, developed to provide accurate temperature measurements in a compact design. The TC01A uses a USB Type-C interface, suitable for Android and HarmonyOS devices, while the TC01B is equipped with a Lightning port for iPhone and iPad compatibility, and is Apple MFI certified. Both models are aimed at the need for fast, flexible inspections while still ensuring Fluke's technical standards.
The device has a thermal image sensor with a resolution of 256 x 192 pixels. This number is enough to display clear images, helping users easily observe temperature differences in many different situations. The temperature measurement range from -10 to 550 ℃ allows applications in the fields of electricity, mechanics, HVAC as well as in construction monitoring. With a wide measuring range, users can deploy from checking electrical cabinets, monitoring motors to monitoring heat leaks in building structures.
Fluke equips the iSee™ TC01A/TC01B series with a thermal sensitivity of 50 mK (0.05 ℃). In other words, the device can detect very small temperature changes, helping to detect abnormalities early before they develop into major problems. The measurement error is within ±2% or ±2 ℃, ensuring reliability for inspections in actual production and maintenance.
Frame rate and display capabilities
With a frame rate of 25 Hz, the camera maintains a smooth image, responding well when observing moving objects or needing to monitor rapid temperature changes. Users can choose from more than 10 standard or customized display color schemes to suit analysis requirements. This is an important factor in diagnostic work, as different display methods will help engineers read data faster depending on the context.
Data analysis capabilities
The strength of TC01A/TC01B lies not only in its thermal imaging capabilities but also in its detailed analysis functions. The device allows real-time monitoring of peak and trough temperatures, customizing emissivity for each material type, and analyzing data at a point, line, or area. In addition, the accompanying software supports in-depth analysis, helping engineers process and prepare reports with higher accuracy. Features such as instantaneous temperature warnings and time-lapse capture also expand the application possibilities, especially in tests that require monitoring cyclical temperature changes.
Practical application
Electrical and electronics industry
In electrical systems, abnormal temperatures are often an early warning sign of a problem. With the Fluke iSee™ TC01A/TC01B, engineers can quickly identify hot contacts at circuit breakers, switchboards, cable joints, or on circuit boards. Timely recognition of hot spots allows for action before they lead to fires, production interruptions, or equipment damage. Additionally, the ability to display peak and trough temperatures in real time helps engineers avoid missing important details during inspections.
Mechanical and HVAC industry
In mechanical engineering, some components such as motors, bearings, pumps or transmission systems often generate heat during operation. Abnormal temperature increases can be an indicator of poor lubrication, misalignment or mechanical failure. The iSee™ thermal camera allows for live monitoring and early detection of these points, enabling predictive maintenance instead of waiting for failure to be addressed.
For HVAC, the TC01A/TC01B supports inspection of pipes, condensers, evaporators and joints. This allows engineers to detect blockages, refrigerant leaks or poor heat exchange performance, thereby improving the operational efficiency of the system.
Construction and infrastructure industry
In the construction industry, heat loss has a direct impact on energy efficiency. Thermal cameras detect heat leaks through walls, ceilings or windows, allowing for the assessment of insulation levels and the identification of areas that need to be treated. In addition, the device is also used to check for water seepage, as humid areas often have a temperature difference compared to dry surfaces. This is an important tool to ensure the quality of construction as well as optimize long-term operating costs.
Tight spaces and difficult-to-reach environments
In many cases, the area to be inspected is located deep inside the machinery or infrastructure system, where direct access is not possible. With the TC01A, users can combine extension cords to bring the camera into narrow spaces, thereby obtaining clear thermal images without dismantling or stopping the entire system. This saves maintenance time and reduces the risk of unnecessary intervention.
Data sharing and management features
The camera has built-in real-time data sharing capabilities. Users can send images and videos directly to colleagues or customers. The optimized Fluke iSee™ app interface allows for convenient annotation, file management, and data transfer, making it ideal for engineering teams that need to work in sync and quickly.
Fluke maintains the standard of durability by adopting a design that weighs only 22g but is made from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. The product surface is laser-etched, providing a high-quality finish. Both TC01A and TC01B meet the IP54 standard for dust and water resistance and have passed the 1 meter drop test, ensuring stable operation in industrial environments.
Conclude:
The Fluke iSee™ TC01A/TC01B is a family of thermal cameras for smartphones that fully meet the technical requirements of many industries, from electrical, mechanical, HVAC to construction. With a resolution of 256 x 192 pixels, a measurement range of -10 to 550 ℃, a thermal sensitivity of 50 mK, along with advanced analysis functions and the ability to quickly share data, the product provides a comprehensive inspection solution in a compact design.
Currently, Fluke iSee™ TC01A/TC01B is being officially distributed by EMIN in Vietnam, ensuring clear origin, full warranty policy and professional technical support service. This is a reliable choice for engineers and units that need an accurate, stable and convenient temperature measurement tool in daily work.
