Fluke 1529 Chub-E4 Thermometer User Manual


 
2 Introduction
The Hart 1529 is a low-cost, high-accuracy, digital thermometer readout de
-
signed to be used with 25 and 100Ω PRTs, thermistors, and thermocouples. Its
unique combination of features makes it suitable for a wide variety of applica
-
tions from laboratory measurement to industrial processes. Features of the 1529
include:
Measures 25Ω and 100Ω PRTs, thermistors, and thermocouples
Four inputs: two PRT/thermistor and two thermocouple (standard config
-
uration)
Four-wire connection eliminates lead resistance effects in PRTs
Three-wire measurement mode for three-wire RTDs
Exclusive patented mini-DWF connectors (U.S. Patent No. 5,964,625)
Automatic current reversal eliminates thermoelectric EMF errors
Accuracy: PRTs to 0.006°C, thermistors to 0.002°C, and thermocouples
to 0.3°C
Typical resolution: PRTs 0.001°C, thermistors 0.0001°C, thermocouples
0.01°C
Measures four sensors simultaneously with a fast one-second measure-
ment cycle
Measures one sensor at 10 readings per second (limited accuracy)
Adjustable moving average for extra precision
