New temperature calibrator

February 2001 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Spescom Measuregraph's Fluke 724 temperature calibrator, designed for process instrument technicians, is powerful but easy to use. Its measure and source functions can test and calibrate almost any temperature instrument.

Its full feature set makes it possible to:

* Measure and source/simulate RTDs, thermocouples, volts and ohms to test and calibrate temperature sensors and transmitters.

* Simultaneously view input and output data on an easy-to-read (measure/source) dual display.

* Power transmitters during test using loop power supply with simultaneous loop current measurement in milliamps.

"Given its superior function set, we believe that the Fluke 724 will become the clear new choice in temperature calibrators," says Spescom Product Specialist Kevin Preston. "With its simplicity, performance and competitive price, the Fluke 724 is the ideal solution for our customers who maintain and calibrate temperature instrumentation." The compact, streamlined shape makes the Fluke 724 easy to carry and its rugged, reliable design stands up to field use.

The Fluke 724 comes with:

* One pair of TL70 leads with alligator clips.

* One pair of stackable, integrated leads/clips.

* Hardcopy product overview manual.

* CD-ROM containing user's manual, plus applications notes and promotional literature for temperature-related products.

Fluke's line of related temperature tool products includes the high-end Fluke 740 Series Documenting Process Calibrators, the 725 multifunction calibrator, the 714 thermocouple Calibrator and the 712 RTD calibrator.

Spescom MeasureGraph, a subsidiary of JSE-listed Spescom and a leading supplier of test and measurement equipment is the sole local distributor of Fluke products.
