"...Do you need a rugged Fluke 983 Laser Particle Counter that can go
anywhere and download data to your computer?..."
Fluke Handheld Laser Particle
Counter 983
0.3 - 10.0 microns,
6 Channels, 0.1 CFM
Built ruggedly portable for handheld HVAC IAQ work,
yet designed with cleanroom capabilities...
That yellow casing you see on the Fluke 983 is a protective layer of hard
molded plastic. The controls are buttons covered with a protective
membrane. Inside this unit are the brains of a cleanroom particle
counter and outside is the body of an HVAC test tool. This is Fluke's
top of the line tool for HVAC and IAQ professionals.
Interface and usability is similar to high end Lighthouse particle counters.
You get a large backlit display showing all six particle size channels as
they are counted. The different counting modes are useful to IAQ, HVAC
and cleanroom applications. A fully charged battery will give you a
good 8 hour day of usage. And when you're done, simply download the
data using
Windows compatible software to your computer.
Fluke specializes in electronic testing and troubleshooting tools and
software. The company has been around since 1948 and is currently
headquartered in
Everett, Washington, USA.
