Product overview: Fluke Calibration 1620A Precision Thermo-Hygrometer

Accuracy

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.

All DewK sensors come with NVLAP accredited certificates of calibration for both temperature and humidity, complete with data and NIST traceability.

Ethernet and wireless capability

With its built-in Ethernet RJ45 jack, multiple DewKs can be monitored from the same screen using Log Ware III client-server software. Ethernet also gives you the possibility for remote connectivity over the internet, so you can monitor critical conditions while you’re away.

Cables running along the floor can be a safety hazard, and cables hanging from the ceiling and walls are an eyesore. With the DewK, simply connect your computer through an RF modem up to 100 ft away, without the clutter of all the extra cables.

If you need a printout, send data to a printer through the RS-232 interface in real time.

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.

Calibrated sensors

With inputs for two sensors, each measuring both temperature and relative humidity, one DewK can monitor two locations at the same time. Both sensors can be run via extension cables to remote locations up to 100 feet away, or one sensor can be directly mounted to the top of the DewK.

Each sensor is calibrated for both temperature and humidity by Fluke Calibration. The calibration constants assigned to the sensors reside in a memory chip located inside the sensor housing, so sensors may be used interchangeably between different DewKs, and the recalibration of sensors doesn’t require an accompanying DewK.

Sensors may also be assigned a unique identifier (up to 16 characters) to facilitate record keeping by matching the sensor identifier with the collected data. Each DewK ships with one sensor, with additional sensors available directly from your local Fluke Calibration sales representative, or directly from Fluke Calibration. Spare sensors may also be purchased from Fluke Calibration as a kit, which includes a case for the sensor, a wall mounting bracket, and a 25-foot extension cable.

Memory

The DewK 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!

Alarms and battery backup

Alarm settings can be set up quickly in the 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 Log Ware III. The DewK is also equipped with a 0 to 12 volt alarm output that can trigger a process control system.

A backup battery shuts down the DewK’s display but maintains measurements for up to 16 hours in the event of a power failure.

Large, easy-to-read display

Want to view data from across the room? Want to view data from two temperature and two humidity inputs simultaneously? Want to view data graphically, statistically, or both? At the same time?! The DewK does everything you could want—or at least everything we could think of. Up to sixteen different display setups can be stored and recalled at the touch of a single button. And all 16 can be easily modified, so you get exactly what you want.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Software We have these units in our laboratory. The software that is within these units is not intuitive. It is very difficult and frustrating trying to set-up measurement parameters and the information that Fluke provides with these units is severely lacking in any proper information to adequately set these units up. You end up trying to navigate through its menu and deciphering what all the acrononsense it is displaying without any guidance from the accompanying documentation. Truly a MAJOR WASTE OF TIME! If they could provide clear and concise instructions on properly setting these units up it would be a major step forward

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not compatible with Java 8 Its inability to work with Java 8 is very disappointing, inefficient, and inconvenient for my calibration lab. It is a shame that the development team for this product has yet to make the 1620A compatible with Java 8, which at the time of this email is on its 66th update. I hate that my company purchased a product that is seemingly no longer supported, especially considering that this product is still a current model. What angers me is that there is no indication anywhere in the documentation or on the product webpage stating that the remote monitoring feature is useless. I use the term “useless” without any qualification because Java has removed version 7 from its website as of July of 2015, so it is no longer possible to revert back to version 7 to use the 1620A webpage functionality. My lab (one of 26 in our network) is (was) the test bed for this system’s capabilities, especially concerning the ability to remotely monitor the environment. I have four technicians with their own work benches in two separate rooms that were supposed to be able to pull the data they need at their workstations. Now they will have to waste time to go view the display directly. Not only that, as the manager, I will have to remove the display from its mount, bring it into my office, connect it to my computer (after purchasing and configuring a serial to USB adapter, of course), and use hyperterminal to download the data on a weekly basis. There are other much larger labs in my metrology network that were hoping to use this system (read: purchasing one or two 1620As and up to 6 probes per lab), but once they learn of the lack of engineering support to develop an upgrade to be compatible with Java 8, they will be looking for other suppliers that keep their hardware up to date. In the meantime, I will also be shopping for alternative manufacturers who actually support the functionality that is clearly listed in their products’ descriptions. There are other, less expensive alternatives available on the market that support remote monitoring with comparable accuracy to the 1620A.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fluke 1620a High Accuracy Our lab uses (3) meters and (6) High accuracy temperature/humidity sensors.. We use the command set to pull temperature and humidity values from the loggers and incorporate into our own applications. This works the best. We have never had any problems. Other test equipment in our lab requires the use of the DEWKs web page interface to readout the values. However, the firmware in the DEWK uses an obsolete version of JAVA. Hopefully it will be updated soon. Thus I am only rating it as good with 4 stars.. If the firmware was updated to work with current versions of JAVA... i would give it a total of 5 stars.
