Fluke ClirVu CV Series IR window

More than 99% of all arc flash incidents occur when a panel door is open, exposing workers to potentially lethal amounts of energy. The Fluke ClirVu CV Series IR windows eliminate the need to open the panel door to take infrared camera readings, and are claimed to have an installation time of five minutes or less.

The series offers 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, are said to maintain a panel arc test rating of up to 63 kA.

Once installed, there is no need to power down or remove panels. Inspections can be conducted quickly, easily and 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.
