Fluke handheld ATEX-certified process calibrator
Fluke has introduced a new loop calibrator, the first of a new line of test tools developed specifically for use in hazardous environments such as petrochemical plants, oil platforms and refineries
The new Fluke 771 is designed for use in environments where it is impractical to shut down processes, or put systems into "safe" mode, in order to break the loop and place a meter in series with the circuit to take measurements.
It features a unique detachable clamp that can be used docked, or detached via its extension cable, to facilitate measurement in tight spaces, as well as a measurement spotlight that illuminates wires in dark enclosures, and automatic battery saving features.
The Fluke 771 has a dual backlit display that shows both mA measurement and percentage of 4-20mA span, and a Hold function to capture and display changing measurements for convenient viewing.
Users can also measure 10-50mA signals in older control systems using the 99.9mA range.
The Fluke 771 is supplied with a soft carrying case and can be purchased from Fluke authorised distributors.
