Distance meters for accurate short measurement

December 2012 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

The Comtest Group has introduced the Fluke 414D, 419D and 424D laser distance meters, which deliver accurate point and click measurements up to 100 metres. They are ideal for a broad range of building, construction, industrial, maintenance and professional services applications.

The range features an integrated compass which provides a heading for distance measurement; an inclination sensor to assist with height tracking, levelling and indirect horizontal distance measurement when line of sight is blocked; and an automatic endpiece correction for measuring from an edge or corner, where a built-in sensor detects the position of the bracket and automatically changes the reference point.

The rugged dust- and splash-proof meters allow for easy measurement of hard to access areas like high ceilings, without climbing a ladder. Between them the three models can handle a wide variety of applications.

The Fluke 414D measures up to 50 metres with one button (accuracy of ±2 mm). It has an easy automatic add and subtract facility for area and volume. The Fluke 419D measures up to 80 metres (accuracy of ±1 mm). It has a 3-line display plus storage for 20 complete displays, and is tripod mountable. The Fluke 424D measures up to 100 metres. Its feature-rich meter includes a tilt sensor for hard to reach measurements, a corner angle feature and a compass.
