RS introduces red and green laser level tools from Fluke
September 2019Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
RS Components has announced availability of a new series of PLS brand laser levels from Fluke. PLS (Pacific Laser Systems) became a Fluke company in 2015 and is well known for providing high-quality tools in a number of major European markets.
The new series of PLS red and green-line laser levels will replace some of the Fluke-branded products. They deliver high levels of durability and precision and offer a high-end selection of features for users such as contractors and maintenance engineers involved in building construction and maintenance, as well as many other industrial markets.
For example, the units come with a fast-settling and self-levelling pendulum to deliver accurate point and reference lines – virtually instantaneously. The tools also feature a pendulum lock to secure the laser during transportation as well as enabling manual tilt mode. Additionally, all the laser levels are accurate to less than 3 mm across a distance of 10m, as well as offering dust and water resistance according to IP54.
The range of laser level models newly available from RS include the PLS 3R, 3G, PLS 5R, 5G PLS 6R, 6G, PLS 180R, and 180G. The existing PLS 4 series has been upgraded to become the PLS 6 series and now comes with four dots and two lines, and is also available in both red and green versions. In addition, the PLS 3 and PLS 180 series will replace the Fluke branded laser products. Also available are a selection of accessories, including a universal wall and ceiling bracket, which has been specifically designed for the PLS magnetic L-bracket.
