The Fluke 576 non-contact thermometer is an ideal professional diagnostic tool for maintenance professionals requiring the most accurate temperature readings at all distances. The Fluke 576 infrared (IR) measures surface temperatures, helping to quickly locate lubrication problems, overloads, short-circuits or misaligned and overheated equipment, reducing work and follow-up time, and improving performance. From close-up electrical connections, to distant room balancing checks, it can take IR temperature measurements with ease. Predictive maintenance professionals requiring analysis and documentation can use the 100-point data logging and digital photographs with the included software for graphing and analysis for follow-up reporting and documentation.
- Backlit display for poorly lit areas
- Last ten temperature readings displayed on bar graph for easy reference
- Enhanced optics (distance to spot ratio up to 60:1) allow measurements of smaller objects from farther away
- Coaxial three-dot laser sighting system highlights the true diameter of measurement spots at all distances (90% energy)
- Extra bright appearing 635nm laser (tested to the same safety and power standards as less bright laser sights) to clearly highlight the targeted area
- Close-focus option available for specialized applications
- MIN/MAX measurements calculations instantly computed
- Audible and visible HI temperature alarm for instant recognition
- Comfortable, overmolded pistol grip makes target sighting easy
- Adjustable emissivity setting (.01 increments) for more accurate measurement
- Durable hard plastic storage case included
- DIF/AVG measurement calculations instantly computed
- 100 temperature data logging capability for easy route review
- 30 pre-set common material emissivity values for most accurate temperature readings
- Audible and visible HI and LO temperature alarm for instant recognition
- Thermocouple K probe input for contact temperature measurements with same unit
- Customizable log names, alarms, and emissivity values for more efficient, less error-prone predictive maintenance routes
- Up to 100 photographic images of measured object downloadable to PC, with date/time stamp
- Photographs of measurement locations instantly captured along with temperature and date-time information for improved documentation and maintenance follow-up
- Windows-based (Windows 2000/XP) software for data storage and analysis
- Software to log, graph, and analyze temperature data via USB connection (includes photo viewing feature)
Included with the Fluke 576:
- User's guide on CD
- Hardshell carrying case.
