Fluke 1620A-S Thermo-Hygrometer

The Fluke 1620A is a low-cost, high-accuracy, digital thermo-hygrometer. Its unique combination of features makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications from laboratory to industrial ambient measurement.

Two types of sensors are available from Fluke Calibration, and the DewK may be originally purchased with either one. The high-accuracy sensor (“H” model) reads temperature to ± 0.125 °C over a calibrated range of 16 °C to 24 °C. Relative humidity readings are to ± 1.5 %RH from 20 %RH to 70 %RH.

The standard-accuracy sensor (“S model) reads temperature to ± 0.25 °C over its calibrated range of 15 °C to 35 °C. Relative humidity readings are to ± 2 % RH from 20 % RH to 70 % RH.

Math and statistical functions

In addition to temperature and humidity, the DewK calculates dew point, heat index, and rates of change for both temperature and humidity. Min, max, and a variety of other statistics are also calculated and can be shown on-screen. Daily summary statistics, including min, max, and maximum rates of change are stored for the most recent sixty days.

Alarms and battery backup

Alarm settings can be set up quickly in the Fluke 1620 (DewK)based on temperature, the rate of change in temperature, RH, the rate of change in RH, and instrument fault conditions. Alarms can be both visual (flashing display) and audible (beeping). Likewise, alarm settings can be set up and events triggered in LogWare III. The Fluke 1620 (DewK)is also equipped with a 0 to 12 volt alarm output that can trigger a process control system.

The DewK thermo hygrometer and humidity monitor has enough on-board memory to store up to 400,000 date- and times stamped data points. That’s two years’ worth of data for both measurements from two sensors if readings are taken every ten minutes!
