Unfortunately, there's no way of predicting to what extent a breach of the NFPA 70E safety guidelines (first introduced in 1976, and revised again in 2004) can really have on your power distribution systems. The possibilities include serious injuries, unprecedented devastation and, in the absolute worst-case scenario, fatalities.

However, fully tested infrared inspection windows (or 'sightglasses' as they are sometimes known) are available to help prevent such incidents, and maintain a safe working environment for everyone.

Our range of Fluke infrared windows allow thermal energy to pass through them, permitting infrared inspections to be carried out effectively and safely, and without the need for qualified personnel to defeat safety systems or open up panel covers.

By using these 'sightglasses', the time and cost associated with infrared inspections can be substantially reduced, whilst also improving worker safety in the process.

We supply two types of Fluke infrared windows...

• The Crystal range uses an infrared permeable crystal, which makes it suitable for installation outdoors and on high voltage power systems
• The Mesh range, which uses an aluminium mesh, is intended for use indoors and on low voltage applications

Both types are available in 3 sizes, and comply with recognised safety standards to greatly reduce the inherent dangers related to inspections of this nature.
