In the world of industrial maintenance and troubleshooting, “heavy-duty” used to mean heavy gear. If you wanted to find a critical heat signature or track down a costly compressed air leak, you needed to haul around standalone, single-purpose equipment.
Not anymore.
Fluke is completely redefining portable diagnostics by transforming the device already in your pocket into a high-performance inspection powerhouse. By pairing the processing power of your modern smartphone with Fluke’s legendary sensor technology, two ultra-compact plug-and-play attachments are leveling up what mobile maintenance can achieve.
Here is how the brand-new Fluke iSee Mobile Acoustic Imager (ii01) and its perfect counterpart, the Fluke iSee Mobile Thermal Camera (TC01A/B/C), are changing the game.
See Sound with the Fluke ii01 Acoustic Imager
The newest addition to the mobile lineup is a true heavy hitter for energy efficiency and predictive maintenance. Compressed air, gas, and vacuum leaks are silent profit killers on a factory floor, usually completely drowned out by loud background industrial noise. The Fluke ii01 Acoustic Imager changes the game by turning complex sound waves into real-time visual data directly on your phone screen.
Instead of searching blindly with traditional listening devices, you simply point your phone at your equipment. Utilising an array of 16 high-precision MEMS microphones and Fluke’s proprietary SoundMap technology, the ii01 instantly overlays a visual, color-coded “hotspot” of the sound source directly onto your live camera feed. From catching tiny, high-pressure nitrogen leaks to diagnosing mechanical wear, this 50-gram powerhouse allows you to walk a facility and visualise faults instantly without ever interrupting operations.
Why it’s an absolute game-changer:
- Advanced Sonic Mapping: Uses a 16-microphone array to visually isolate the exact location of gas escapes and mechanical noises that single-sensor tools completely miss.
- Wide Frequency Range: Operates across a wide 2 kHz to 48 kHz band, letting you catch high-frequency air leaks as well as lower-frequency industrial equipment anomalies.
- One-Touch Leak Detection: Features a dedicated “Quick Leak Detection” mode that automatically locks onto the optimal 37.4 kHz–42.6 kHz range for rapid compressed air diagnostics.
- Safe Standoff Range: Scan difficult, elevated, or dangerous environments efficiently from a safe distance of 0.5 meters up to 50 meters away.
- Instant Documentation: Displays real-time center-point decibel (dB) values and saves images or 5-minute videos with custom watermarks straight to your phone gallery.

See Heat with the Fluke TC01A / TC01B / TC01C Thermal Camera
The Fluke iSee Mobile Thermal Camera brings professional-grade infrared diagnostics directly to your smartphone. Whenever electrical circuits are overloaded, bearings are failing or HVAC ductwork is leaking heat, they give off a thermal signature long before they physically fail.
Weighing just 22 grams, this premium aluminum-housed device plugs straight into your phone’s charging port to reveal those invisible heat profiles with stunning clarity. Backed by an incredibly wide temperature range and professional-tier image resolution, it gives engineers, contractors and facilities managers the power to perform deep thermal diagnostics on the spot. It is the ultimate everyday troubleshooting tool that fits entirely in your pocket.
Why it belongs in every tool bag:
- Professional Image Detail: Packed with a high-resolution 256 x 192 pixel sensor to ensure exceptionally clear thermal images and smooth video recording.
- Extensive Temperature Range: Accurately measures extreme heat and cold from -10°C up to 550°C (with stable ±2% or ±2°C accuracy) for diverse industrial applications.
- Deep Thermal Analysis: Access full spot, line, and area temperature diagnostics alongside 10+ standard and custom color palettes via the intuitive Fluke iSee app.
- Real-Time Safety Alarms: Stay ahead of equipment failure with real-time high/low-temperature limit alerts and automatic over-temperature image/video capturing.
- Rugged, Featherlight Build: Engineered with premium laser-etched aluminum, a 1-meter drop test certification, and up to IP56 ingress protection against dust and water.
