Product overview: Fluke Calibration 1502A/1504 Thermometer Readout
Precision thermometer readouts for laboratory and field use
1502A Tweener PRT Readout
The Fluke Calibration 1502A Tweener offers precision temperature measurement with:
- Accuracy up to ±0.006 °C
- Resolution of 0.001 °C across the entire range
- Compatibility with 100-ohm, 25-ohm, and 10-ohm RTD probes
- Smallest unit in its class, ideal for field or bench use
- Optional 9320A Battery Pack for full portability
Advanced Features
- Programmable to match a probe’s constants for maximum linearity and accuracy
- Displays temperature in °C, °F, K, or resistance in ohms
- Reads standard industrial IEC-751 / “385 ALPHA” RTDs with no programming required
- Accepts ITS-90 subranges 4 and 6–11, with formulas built into firmware
- Calibration is done digitally via front-panel—no need to open the device
- Comes with RS-232 interface; optional IEEE-488 interface available
1504 Tweener Thermistor Readout
Need higher precision in a narrower temperature range? The Model 1504 Tweener offers:
- Accuracy up to ±0.002 °C
- Resolution of 0.0001 °C
- Designed specifically for thermistors—more robust, shock-resistant sensors with faster response times
- Ideal for applications requiring high sensitivity and reliability in limited temperature spans
Calibration and Probe Integration
- Each Tweener and its compatible probe (sold separately) include individual calibration reports
- System data is available upon request at two or more temperatures for high-precision needs (Calibration Model 1929-X)
- Users can calculate system accuracy using individual device specifications—no need to purchase system-level data unless required
Software Compatibility
Enhance your workflow with Fluke software tools:
- 9934 LogWare: Real-time data acquisition, graphing, and analysis
- MET/TEMP II: Use Tweeners as reference thermometers for automated calibrations
Optional Battery Pack
Take your Tweener on the road with the 9320A Battery Pack:
- Provides up to 36 hours of portable operation between charges
- Perfect for fieldwork or locations without direct power access
Key Features
- 1502A: accuracy up to ±0.006 °C.
- 1504: accuracy up to ±0.002 °C plus ability to measure thermistor temperature sensors.
- 1502A: covers –200°C to 962°C
- 1504: covers 0 to 100°C
- Can take readings up to twice per second, making the calibration process faster.
