Fluke 1504 Thermometer User Manual


 
2 Introduction
The 1504 Thermometer Readout is a low-cost high-accuracy digital thermome
-
ter readout designed to be used with thermistors or RTDs with a nominal resis
-
tance of 1,000Ω or greater. Its unique combination of features makes it suitable
for a wide variety of applications from laboratory measurement to industrial
processes. Features of the 1504 include:
