Fluke Hart Scientific 1560 Black Stack Thermometer
Condition: Refurbished / Calibrated
Warranty: 90 Day Exchange
Features
The 1560 Black Stack has a unique modular design that consists of a base controller and add-on modules. The base controller is the ﾓbrainﾔ of the system. It directs all operations and provides control signals and power for the modules. The modules are the appendages that give the system the ability to measure temperature and communicate with other instruments. Different modules can have different functions. One module may measure platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) while another may measure thermocouples. Still another module may provide an interface to a printer. Modules may have more than one independent function or device. For example, a single module may include a GPIB communications device and a Centronics printer interface device. A single device, such as a thermocouple scanner, may also contain multiple channels. By adding certain modules together, an instrument can be assembled with extraordinary capabilities.
Accurate, expandable and configurable readout
- Reads SPRTs, RTDs, thermistors, and thermocouples
- Any configuration you like up to eight modules
- High-accuracy reference thermometer (to ±0.0013°C)
- Automates precision data acquisition
Fluke Calibrationﾒs Black Stack thermometer readout has been on the market for many years and has established itself as one of the most versatile, cost-effective, accurate readouts in the world.
Nothing about this instrument says ordinary. Traditionally, thermometers were square boxes configured to do one particular jobﾗsuch as read a calibrated PRT. However, if you also wanted to measure thermistors, you had to buy another instrument that could do this specific task. Some thermometers can do multiple jobs, but theyﾒre expensive, complex, and difficult to use. Youﾒre paying for functions you donﾒt need and may never use. The Black Stack solves these problems and more.
The 1560 Black Stack thermometer readout can be any kind of thermometer you want it to be, and it works in three distinctive ways.
Itﾒs a reference thermometer with a NIST traceable calibration; itﾒs an automated calibration system reading your reference probe and sensors youﾒre testing; or itﾒs a high-accuracy data acquisition system. And it does each of these functions better than any other thermometer currently on the market.
The Stack consists of up to eight different modules that fit together to do any type of thermometry you choose. You can buy all of them, or any combination of them, and change the Stack and its functions anytime you want. Each module stacks behind the preceding one, and when you add a module, the Stackﾒs software automatically reconfigures itself to include all of the new functions supplied by that module. Thereﾒs nothing to take apart. No boards need to be installed. Thereﾒs no software to load, and nothing has to be calibrated. Just stack a new module onto the back of the previous modules and youﾒre ready to use the Black Stack and all of its remarkable features.
The Base Unit
The Stack starts with a base module. It consists of two parts: a display with the main processor and a power supply. The base module supplies power, communication management, and software coordination for all of the other modules. It has the display, control buttons, and RS-232 port built-in.
Each base module can handle eight thermometer modules stacked behind it with a maximum of 96 sensor inputs. The base module never needs calibration and performs its own diagnostic self-test each time it powers up. The thermometer characteristics of each base module are defined by the thermometry modules stacked behind it.

Fluke Hart Scientific 2560 SPRT Module
The SPRT Module reads 10-ohm, 25-ohm, and 100-ohm four-wire RTD's, PRT's, and SPRT's with very high accuracy. It turns the Stack into a first-rate reference thermometer with an accuracy to ±0.005 °C/
The 2560 has two input channels so you can collect data with two reference sensors, or you can do comparison calibrations of one sensor against a calibrated reference sensor.
Temperature conversion features include direct resistance measurement, ITS-90, W(T90), IPTS-68, Callendar-Van Dusen, or an RTD polynomial conversion. The user-changeable default values for the CVD conversion fit the 100-Ohm, 0.00385 ALPHA sensor described by IEC-751.
The SPRT modules can be used one at a time or combined together in any combination for reading up to 16 different reference thermometers. If you stack an SPRT module with a scanner module, you can test multiple sensors against your reference. Unlike other competitive instruments, our PRT Scanner Module operates with or without the two-channel SPRT module. If you can think of a way to use a reference thermometer, you can do it with the Stack.
