Fluke 177 Series - LTE Module Manual

Introduction

The 177X LTE module provides global LTE (4G) communications and allows connections to Fluke 177X products located remotely. The module requires a SIM card and contract with a service provider that has coverage where the instrument and module are located.
With this module you can wirelessly communicate from a computer to the instrument. Communication can be through a VNC (Virtual Network Connection) or through the Fluke Energy Analyze Plus application package. With this remote connection you do not have to frequently visit the site location to observe how a site survey is progressing. All the measured and logged data is available through the remote connection.
