Product overviewThe Fluke 1551A 'Stik' reference thermometer is an intrinsically safe, battery-powered portable thermometer designed for industrial temperature calibration and field checks. It offers repeatable measurements with an accuracy of ±0.05 °C across the -50 °C to 160 °C range and is calibrated as an integrated probe-plus-readout system.
Key features- Intrinsically safe operation (ATEX and IECEx compliant)
- Reference accuracy ±0.05 °C (±0.09 °F) over full range
- Temperature range: -50 °C to 160 °C (-58 °F to 320 °F)
- User-configurable trend/stability indicator and selectable resolution
- Fixed 100 Ω RTD sensor with stainless steel probe
- Optional internal data logging (up to 10,000 time-stamped readings)
Other useful features- Large rotating backlit LCD for easy viewing
- Auto-off and low-battery percent indicator to prevent erroneous readings
- Approximately 300 hours battery life (3 × AAA, backlight off)
- Includes accredited NVLAP report and NIST-traceable calibration
