The 2638A/05 is a 22 channel true differential analog input data logger with the Fluke Universal Input Connector that lets you connect and disconnect any type of input to any channel, quickly and easily. Selectable inputs include dc voltage, ac voltage, resistance, thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, frequency and dc and ac current. You can also use the 2638A/05 with optional software and other Fluke data loggers to create a flexible, customized data acquisition system.
Other data loggers require you to wire your inputs directly to an expensive "plug-in" active component signal conditioning module. If you need your instrument for another test at another location, you must remove your wiring or use another expensive plug-in signal conditioning module. With Hydra Series III, all your signal conditioning is inside the mainframe, not in your input connector.
The Hydra Series III is the only general purpose portable data acquisition system with an IEC Category II safety rating to help protect you and your operators when making real-world measurements on machinery in industrial areas. Other data loggers that are not clearly rated for these types of category measurements should be reviewed before being used for industrial measurement. Fluke takes your safety and your measurements seriously.
It is sometimes mistakenly assumed that a high voltage input specification on a data logger makes it safe to use on or near industrial equipment or to monitor mains power. This is not always the case. The Fluke Hydra Series III was designed specifically to meet stringent CAT II safety standards.
