Fluke clamp meters and a four-channel handheld oscilloscope reduce exposure to electrical shock. Meet international standards for safe use. Can test live circuits at a distance from electrically hazardous installations. Fluke 381, 376, 375 and 374 current clamps and iFlex current probes are rated for use in measurement category IV environments (CAT IV 600V, CAT III 1000 V). Detachable display of the Fluke 381 clamp meter enables technicians to see measurements up to 33 ft. from the equipment being tested. Can see readings when the test circuit is enclosed in an equipment cabinet. ScopeMeter 190 Series II handheld portable oscilloscopes are the first four-channel scopes designed for harsh industrial environments; safety rated for CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V environments.

ERO-500 midrange reflow soldering system has five vertical heating zones and one cooling zone. Developed for small- to medium-volume reflow soldering of SMT and hybrid boards, and curing glue or thick-film pastes. Has a maximum system temperature of 320°C; reflow profiles can be optimized for Pb-free and SnPb profiles. Each heating zone is independently programmable and controlled via on-board LCD system controller. Reflow profiles can take into account conveyor speed, heating temperature, convection heat flow, and cooling fans. Data port included for downloading profile data and error logs.
