Fluke 576 Precision Infrared Thermometer

Fluke 576 Precision Infrared Thermometer

The Fluke 570 non-contact thermometers are ideal professional diagnostic tools for maintenance professionals requiring the most accurate temperature readings at all distances. The Fluke 570 series 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, the Fluke 576 can take IR temperature measurements with ease. Predictive maintenance professionals requiring analysis and documentation use the 576 model, with 100-point data logging and digital photographs with the included software for graphing and analysis for follow-up reporting and documentation.

Advanced Sighting   Accurate measurements depend in part on accurately sighting a target. Fluke 570 series thermometers are the only thermometers with a sighting system designed to precisely track the infrared path as seen by the sensors. This enables the advanced coaxial three-dot laser sighting to accurately show both the center and the edges of the spot being measured, regardless of the thermometer’s distance from the target.   This laser sighting also appears twice as bright to the human eye as normal lasers (while maintaining the same safety rating as less bright lasers), making precise sighting easier in a variety of lighting conditions and distances.

Features:

• 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

Unique to Fluke 576:

• 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)

Advanced Display    Icons for camera active, flash active, and flash charging, and indication of photos remaining   Confirmation of a successful photo taken 30 preset common material emissivities Adjustable emissivity values (0.01 increments) 100 location logging capability Customized log location names and alarms

Specifications:

Close Focus Option: The Close Focus (CF) option lets you accurately measure very small areas at the focus point – where the IR beam narrows. Paired with an advanced coaxial laser sighting system, extremely small objects 6 mm (0.24 in) at 300 mm (11.4 in) can be easily measured. Ideal for electrical maintenance and refrigeration troubleshooting.
