Data Logger/Monitor
Use these tools to measure and collect data over time. They record such things as plug loads and multi-phase electrical values (amperage, kW, kWh, power factor), temperature, relative humidity, voltage, light levels, motor on/off cycles, and run hours.

Infrared Thermometer
This tool detects equipment "hot spots" such as poor electrical connections or inadequately insulated areas, and uncovers developing failures in equipment.

Multi-Meter
Use this tool to identify low-voltage problems and high-resistance locations on a particular device. It also gives you instantaneous measurements of voltage (AC and DC), current, and temperature.

Ultrasonic Leak Detector
If you use compressed air or steam, this tool can really save you money. It locates leaks and indicates their intensity.

Portable Doppler Ultrasonic Flow Meter Fluid Flow
Use this tool on a wide range of metering applications on pipe sizes ranging from 1-120 inch pipe E.D. A variety of liquid applications can be accommodated. The unit's transducers are a non-conducting, clamp-on type which provides for ease of installation.

Hot Wire Anemometer Air Velocity/Humidity Meter
Use this tool to measure air velocity, temperature, humidity, dew point temperature and wet bulb temperature.
