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.
The device combines a 40MHz, dual-input digital oscilloscope with two 5000 counts true-rms multimeters, and dual-input paperless recording for intermittent fault finding.
With a 600V CAT III safety rating for the meter and accessories and up to seven hours battery operation, it is the ideal handheld oscilloscope for the demanding plant service, maintenance and installation engineer locating problems in machinery, instrumentation, control and power systems.
The industrial network Bus Health Test rigorously checks electrical signal quality on recognised industrial field buses such as Profibus and Modbus.

Users can also analyse harmonics up to the 33rd over a wide frequency range.
This is particularly useful for nonlinear loads.
The device is also capable of power measurements for single and three-phase systems over a wide frequency range, for example at the output of motor drives and frequency converters.
The system is capable of VPWM measurements to indicate the true output voltage of motor drives, as well as high-resolution resistance measurement for fault finding in motor windings.
Users can perform plain text entry to identify stored test data.
Fluke's Connect-and-View triggering recognises signal patterns and automatically sets up correct triggering.
It provides a stable and repeatable display of virtually any signal - including motor drive and control signals.
This overcomes problems related to manual trigger setting, which can result in unstable and sometimes incorrect results.
TrendPlot enables the Fluke 125 to act as a paperless recorder, capturing minimum and maximum peak values and averages over time for up to 16 days.
The two inputs can plot any combination of volts, amps, temperature, frequency and phase, with time and date stamps, to help to locate even the most intermittent of faults.
A Fluke i400s 400A Current Clamp is included with the Fluke 125 Industrial ScopeMeter as well as test leads and clips.
The Fluke 125 and optional FlukeView ScopeMeter software and other accessories can be purchased from Fluke authorised distributors. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
