Fluke 2286A Precision datalogging system

The Fluke 2286A Precision Datalogging System is a high-accuracy data acquisition platform for industrial and laboratory measurement applications. It captures temperature, voltage, current, resistance, and specialized sensor data across configurable channels with precise logging to internal storage and external media. The system delivers DC voltage accuracy of ±0.05% of reading + 0.02% of range, making it suitable for process monitoring, quality control, and research environments requiring traceable, long-term data collection.

Technical Specifications

Analog Input Channels: 16 single-ended or 8 differential channels measuring DC voltage and current, AC voltage, resistance, frequency, thermocouples, RTDs, and strain gauges. Temperature and pressure measurement also supported. Digital I/O: 8 channels for discrete input/output control. Channel Expansion: Up to 100 channels per mainframe; expandable to 1,500 channels total. Measurement Rates: 4 to 1,000 readings per second (rps), with peak sampling to 1.8 MS/s depending on configuration. Voltage Ranges: DC voltage input from -10 to 300 V DC, with selectable ranges from 90 mV to 50 V, 90 mV to 150 V, and 90 mV to 300 V. Math & Scaling: 20 math channels supporting 15 mathematical operations; Mx+B scaling per channel; 2 independent user-defined alarms per channel. Storage: 64 MB non-volatile memory with USB and RS-232C connectivity for data transfer and archival.
