Fluke 2168A Digital Thermometer

The Fluke 2168A is a portable, single-point digital thermometer engineered for high-precision temperature measurement across eight thermocouple types. It delivers 1°C or 1°F resolution with a clear LED display and dual-scale readout (°C/°F selectable via front-panel controls). The instrument meets MIL-Std-810 shock and vibration requirements, qualifying it for laboratory, industrial, and research environments demanding accurate thermal monitoring. An eight-position rotary switch enables rapid thermocouple type selection. The 2168A operates from 115V ac ±10%, 50 to 440 Hz line power (8W bench, 4W panel mode) or via external 12V dc source with optional Y2004 Battery pack, delivering approximately six hours runtime per charge. Alternative 100V ac and 230V ac versions are available. Operating ambient range spans 0°C to 50°C; storage rated to -40°C to 60°C non-condensing. At 1.35 kg, the instrument integrates thermocouple probe compatibility (probe sold separately or bundled per listing) and delivers performance identical to the Fluke 2160A across all supported thermocouple types.
