New Fluke 421D Laser Distance Meter talks you through measurements with extended 100-meter range


Stores 20 measurements for quick distance recall

Fluke Corporation has introduced its most advanced and capable distance measurement device, the Fluke 421D Laser Distance Meter.

Its advanced features include audible feedback for taking room angle and incremental measurements, a +/- 45 o tilt sensor for taking indirect measurements in hard-to-reach areas and enhanced Pythagoras

calculation for indirectly determining distance. The Fluke 421D automatically stores the last 20 measurements for quick recall of previous measurements.

The Fluke 421D Laser Distance Meter measures distances up to 100 m (330 feet) with one push of a button. Laser distance measurement technology makes the Fluke 421D Laser Distance Meter far

more accurate and dependable than devices using ultrasonic technology. It is IP54 rated for resistance to water spray and dust.

Like other Fluke distance meters, the Fluke 421D helps electricians, facilities managers and HVAC contractors save time and labor. Instead of walking back and forth across a space with tape or wheel, the user can simply place the meter at the starting point, point the laser at the target, press one button and instantly read the distance, all without the help of a second person to hold the other end of the tape measure.

The Fluke 421D has a bright laser for easy targeting and large liquid crystal display. Buttons are positioned for one-hand operation. The simple user interface allows you to easily add or subtract measurements and quickly calculate area and volume. An automatic shut-off feature improves battery life, providing up to 5000 readings from a pair of AAA batteries.

Fluke Laser Distance Meters boost productivity and save money by helping speed the measurement process and eliminate costly estimation errors. They are built to withstand a four-foot drop, featuring the ruggedness and reliability professionals expect from Fluke.

Digital multimeters that shrug off dust and water—and float!


Fluke throws down its toughest tools: New Fluke 27 II and 28 II digital multimeters shrug off dust and water—and float!

Fluke Corporation, known for its durable handheld electronic test and measurement tools, has introduced its toughest tools yet: The Fluke 27 II and 28 II digital multimeters, designed to survive water, dust and rough handling that would kill other tools.

The new Fluke 27 II and 28 II (DMMs define a new standard for operating in harsh conditions, while delivering the features and accuracy to troubleshoot most electrical problems.

Both meters are IP 67 rated for water and dust resistance and offer an extended operating temperature range of -15 °C to +55 °C (5 °F to 131 °F). They will function in -40 °C temperatures for up to 20 minutes. They will operate in 95 percent humidity, and are designed and tested to withstand a 3 m (10 ft) drop.

The new Fluke 20 Series II Multimeters are built for industrial electricians, plant engineers and technicians who work in the toughest environments—and anyone who wants the most durable DMM available. They are ideal for such job environments as:
  • Manufacturing plants, foundries
  • Food processing and bottling plants
  • Water and wastewater facilities
  • Marine service and repair
  • Mining, drilling and materials extraction
  • Outside testing in any weather

Imagine the possibilities! For the first time, work in two places at once...






Fluke 233 Remote Display Multimeter brings wireless technology to contact electrical measurement




The NEW Fluke 233 True-rms Remote Display Digital Multimeter gives you ultimate flexibility in unusual measurement scenarios. Place the removable display where you can see it and then put the meter where it is convenient for you—no more juggling of leads and the meter while stretching into a tight spot. You can now take measurements in hard-to-reach places, where machines or panels are physically separated from a limit or isolator switch, or in user prohibited areas such as clean rooms or hazardous areas.

Features:

  • True-rms ac voltage and current for accurate measurements on non-linear signals
  • Measure up to 1000 V ac and dc
  • Measure up to 10 A (20 A for 30 seconds)
  • 10,000 μF capacitance range
  • Frequency to 50 kHz
  • Built in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to carry a separate instrument
  • Resistance, continuity and diode test
  • Low power wireless technology allows the display to be carried up to 10 meters (33 ft) away from the point of measurement for added flexibility. No interference with measurements
  • The removable magnetic display can be conveniently mounted where it is easily seen
  • Make measurements without holding the meter to improve visual focus on probes and augment safe electrical measurements
  • Use as a conventional multimeter when the display is connected
  • Radio transmitter automatically turns off when the display is connected to the meter
  • Auto power off maximizes battery life
  • Min/Max and Average recording to capture variations automatically
  • Test continuity and diodes
  • Easy to read display with large digits and bright backlight
  • Battery life approximately 400 hours
