Fluke Laser Distance Meters for Precise Measurements

Fast, accurate laser measurement in electrical, HVAC & industrial applications.

Fluke Corporation (Everett, WA) announced the new Fluke 416D and 411D Laser Distance Meters, designed to precisely and quickly measure distances up to 200 feet using advanced laser technology.

These pocket-sized, professional-grade tools help electricians, facilities managers, and HVAC contractors save time and labor and are faster and less cumbersome than traditional tapes or wheels. The user can simply place the meter at the starting point, point the laser at the target, press one button, and instantly read the distance, all without the help of a second person to hold the other end of the tape measure.

Laser technology makes the Fluke 416D and 411D Laser Distance Meters far more accurate and dependable than devices using ultrasonic technology. The Fluke 411D ($109) measures up to 100 feet (30 meters) with accuracy of +/- 0.12 in. (+/- 3 mm); the Fluke 416D ($229) measures up to 200 ft (60 meters) with accuracy of +/- 0.06 in. (+/- 1.5 mm).

Both Fluke Laser Distance Meters, built to withstand a four-foot drop, have a bright laser for easy targeting and large liquid crystal displays. Buttons are positioned for one-hand operation. The user interface allows you to add or subtract measurements and calculate area and volume. An automatic shut-off feature improves battery life, providing up to 3000 readings (411D) or 5000 readings (416D) from a pair of AAA batteries. The Fluke 416D also offers a three-line, backlit display for improved visibility, memory for saving ten measurements, splash and dust protection (IP54), and an audible activation shut-down notification.

Both meters come with an instruction book, carrying pouch to secure on a tool belt, two AAA batteries, and a two-year warranty.
