Rugged temperature calibrator ideal for the field
Designed for process instrument technicians, the Fluke 724 Temperature Calibrator can test and calibrate almost any temperature instrument.
For a limited period, each model comes with a free Fluke true-RMS digital multimeter (DMM).
The Fluke 570 Series of IR thermometers consists of three handheld models which represent some of the most advanced of their type on the market for accurate condition monitoring and analysis.
They all measure temperatures between -30 and +900C to a 0.1C resolution with a very fast response time and a D/S ratio of 60:1.
A bargraph on the backlit LCD screen displays the last 10 readings.
Accurate sighting is ensured by a three-point, extra bright coaxial laser system with adjustable emissivity that highlights the centre and edges of the measurement spot.
Options include a close focus model with a minimum spot size of 6mm.
The thermometers feature a standard thread base for tripod mounting if required.
The Fluke 576 will log up to 100 locations, recording temperature readings and a digital photographic image of the location as the temperature reading is taken.
The logged results can be uploaded to a PC using Windows-based software.
Thus, the temperatures can be stored, presented graphically and analysed, and the photographic images can be displayed on screen.
The Fluke 574 offers the same data logging capability and PC data analysis software as the 576 but has no photographic capability.
The entry-level Fluke 572 has no storage or photographic capability.
Other features include max/min readings on all models, difference and average readings on the 574 and 576 models, and audible alarms for high readings (574 and 576) and low readings (all models) in comparison to 30 preset levels.
For a limited period only, the 572 is bundled with a free Fluke 110 DMM, the 574 with a free Fluke 111 DMM and the 576 with a free Fluke 112 DMM.
The two higher end models are supplied with Windows-based software and compatible data cable, and a type-K thermocouple probe.
They are all supplied in a durable hard case and are available from Fluke authorised distributors. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
