Safety Information

•Check for proper operation of the Product before taking it into a hazardous area. Should the Product not operate as expected do not take the Product into a hazardous area and return it to the manufacturer for inspection.

•The Product is intended for installation only in locations providing adequate protection against the entry of solid foreign objects or water capable of impairing safety.

WCaution

To prevent possible damage to the Product or to equipment under test:

•If the display message changes to “OL,” the range limit is exceeded and the Product must immediately be removed from the heat source to prevent damage.

•Do not immerse the Probe beyond its maximum immersion depth. This may damage its internal electronics. See “Immersion Depth and Usage” later in this manual.

•DO NOT drop or strike the Probe in any way. Mechanical shock damages the Probe internally and affects it calibration.

If the Product overheats or is exposed to sudden physical shock, examine it for damage that can cause a safety risk. If possible, compare the displayed temperature to a known reference before Product use. If not sure, send the Product to Fluke Corporation. Refer to “How to Contact Fluke”.

Substitution of components will impair suitability for hazardous locations.

This manual contains data and safety regulations that must be followed for safe, reliable use of the Product in hazardous areas under the detailed conditions. If you do not follow these instructions, personal injury or Product damage can occur. Violation of applicable legislation can also occur. Read the full manual before you use the Product. To make sure of safe Product operation, fully follow all instructions and warnings in the manual. If you are not sure (due to translation and/or printing errors), refer to the English manual.

An “Ex-hazardous area,” as used in this manual, refers to an area made hazardous by the possible presence of flammable or explosive vapors. These areas are also referred to as “hazardous locations.”

1551A EX, 1552A EX specifications

The Fluke 1552A EX and 1551A EX are specialized temperature calibration tools designed for professionals working in hazardous environments. These portable devices cater to the needs of industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing, where accuracy and safety are paramount.

One of the standout features of the Fluke 1552A EX is its ability to measure a wide temperature range with exceptional accuracy. The instrument can operate from -200°C to 700°C (-328°F to 1292°F), making it versatile for various applications. It comes equipped with advanced thermocouple capabilities, supporting multiple thermocouple types, including J, K, T, E, N, R, and S. This versatility ensures that users can perform calibrations on different temperature sensors seamlessly.

The 1551A EX, on the other hand, capitalizes on the innovations seen in the 1552A but is particularly designed for lower temperature applications, operating from -200°C to 1200°C (-328°F to 2192°F). It also allows users to interchange between various temperature probes, granting flexibility for different measurement needs. Both models feature a high-resolution display that provides clear and immediate readings, further enhancing user experience.

Another significant technology utilized in both the 1552A EX and the 1551A EX is Fluke’s Calibration Technology. This feature allows for consistent and precise adjustments to be made, ensuring that results remain accurate over time. The instruments are also designed following the latest standards for safety, featuring explosive atmosphere compliance, which allows them to operate safely in environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present.

In terms of usability, both models incorporate a user-friendly interface that simplifies operations, even for those less familiar with calibration procedures. The devices also include rechargeable battery options, extending their portability for use in the field. Additionally, they are housed in durable enclosures, designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments.

Overall, the Fluke 1552A EX and 1551A EX are top-notch calibration instruments that not only meet the rigorous demands of hazardous work environments but also deliver exceptional performance, accuracy, and safety features that professionals can rely on for their temperature calibration needs.
