Any infraredthermometer canmeasure temperature,but only the Fluke 576thermometer measurestemperature whiledigitally photographingthe measured area and itssurroundings.The proof is in the picture!Temperature measurementlocations are instantlycaptured in a digital photowith a time and date stampin the image. The laser sightingpinpoints the exact measurementlocation, without the need for a viewfinder.Make sure the inspection was doneproperly. Download images and data to thePC software and double-check all work.Ensure consistency of repeated measurements by usingprior photos as a reference—position the laser sighting asshown in the photo to assure the measurement area is thesame.Create customized company reports with the software,data and photos. Just insert information from Fluke 576 datafiles into reports for fast, professional results.Advanced SightingAccurate measurements depend in part onaccurately sighting a target. Fluke 570 seriesthermometers are the only thermometers witha sighting system designed to precisely trackthe infrared path as seen by the sensors. Thisenables the advanced coaxial three-dot lasersighting to accurately show both the centerand the edges of the spot being measured,regardless of the thermometer’s distance fromthe target.This laser sighting also appears twice asbright to the human eye as normal lasers(while maintaining the same safety rating asless bright lasers), making precise sightingeasier in a variety of lighting conditions anddistances.Measurements anddocumentation assimple as 1-2-3Focus the camera for nearor distant photos using thefocus ring. With the Fluke576 thermometer in “logmode,” pull and releasethe trigger. After taking asuccessful measurement anda photograph, the Fluke 576thermometer prepares torecord the temperature andimage of the next location.In low light situations, theFluke 576 thermometer canautomatically illuminatethe subject with a built-in flash.1insetapplication photo tocomeLog temperature and takephoto with the Fluke 576.2Download data from theFluke 576 to a computer.3View, graph and generatereports with the software.
