Description

Fluke’s Intrinsically Safe Infrared Thermometer

The 568 Ex IR Thermometer was designed to be intrinsically safe and can be used in Class I Div 1 and Div 2 or Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous environments. Designed for use in petroleum, chemical, oil and gas, or pharmaceutical applications.

The straight forward user interface and soft key menus make it easy to take complex measurements even in dangerous environments. The interface is quick to navigate, making it easy to adjust emissivity, save data, or turn on and off alarms.Fluke’s Intrinsically Safe Infrared Thermometer
