New Fluke ClirVu® CV Series IR Windows offer ultimate protection for inspectors of high-energy equipment

With an installation time of five minutes or less, there’s no need to sacrifice safety or compliance to take infrared camera readings

More than 99 percent of all arc flash incidents occur when a panel door is open, exposing workers to potentially lethal amounts of energy. The new Fluke® ClirVu CV Series IR Windows eliminate the need to ope

n the panel door to take infrared camera readings, and with an installation time of five minutes or less, there’s no excuse not to protect workers’ safety.

The ClirVu CV Series offers the ultimate protection for the electricians, engineers, and inspectors who work around high-energy equipment. They are Torture Tested™ to the highest arc blast test ratings and, when properly installed, maintain a panel arc test rating of up to 63 kA.

“Fluke’s expertise in safety reflects more than 65 years of preventive testing and problem alerting and the invention of the ClirVu CV Series is the result of attempting high standards of safety. The ClirVu CV series not only installs quickly, but also eliminates the need to be in an unsafe environment for even a short amount of time,” says Steve Hood, Fluke General Manager, Middle East, Africa and Turkey.

Once the ClirVu CV Series is installed, there's no need to power down or remove panels — inspections can be conducted quickly, easily, and, most importantly, safely, often with little, if any, personal protective equipment.

Installation takes one technician five minutes or less. Simply lockout-tag out, punch one hole with a standard conduit punch without removing the panel door, attach, and secure the cover. The AutoGround™ feature instantly grounds the IR window to the metal enclosure, eliminating the need to separately ground each metal component of the window.

The hinged cover is easily opened with a quarter-turn latch or key to perform infrared inspections. It also protects the window from accidental exterior impact.
