HOT high temperature IR thermometer Fluke, represented locally by The Comtest Group , has on offer the highly accurate Fluke 572-2, high temperature Infrared (IR) thermometer for extreme heat conditions over long distances.Typical applications are: • Manufacturing: Repair and maintenance of motors, pumps with data logging • Electrical HVAC installation: Repair and maintenance of panels, fuses, circuit breakers, compressors, ducts, and remote access vents • Power utility: Measurement of nodes between power transmission and distribution • Metals: Maintenance and quality control where there is monitoring of temperature during the process • Petrochemicals: Maintenance of the exterior of the kiln (temperature), monitoring the surface temperature of the reformer tubes The Fluke 572-2 measures between -30°C to 900°C with ±1% accuracy. Measurements from further away are accurate with a 60:1 distance-to-spot ratio with dual laser sighting for fast, accurate targeting. It displays current temperature plus MAX, MIN, DIF, and AVG temperature with adjustable

emissivity and predefined emis- sivity tables. Available from The Comtest Group, the unit features a multiple language (user select) interface and is compatible with standard K-type mini-connector thermocouple probe (KTC), and is shipped with a USB 2.0 computer interface cable; FlukeView Forms Documenting Software.
