They allow users to switch temperature units (Celcius / Fahrenheit) and feature a trigger lock for easy, continuous monitoring.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

REED Instruments part numbers often cross-reference to various Extech, Fervi and General Tools products. So if you're looking for REED Instruments' sound or vibration meters that are either obsolete or out of stock, chances are we have equivalent items available.

Shipping

REED Instruments' products are small in size and require compact packaging. They are suitable for courier shipment and air freight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to view only the maximum sound levels while operating REED sound level meters?

  • Press the 'MAX/HOLD' button to display the maximum recorded values.
  • In this mode, the meter only updates when it discovers a reading higher than the current maximum reading.

How to measure temperatures of shiny and polished metal surfaces?

  • Cover the metal surface with masking tape or flat black paint.
  • Allow the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath.
  • Measure the temperature of the tape as mentioned above.

How to record vibration, sound or thermal levels for long durations?

The brand's R1500 lightweight tripod is ideal for long-term measurements. This tripod comes with an adapter to mount any meter with ease and holds them still to avoid disturbance.

What are the uses of anemometers?

REED Instruments anemometers measure & log the data of wind velocity, temperature, pressure and relative humidity for HVAC repairing, refrigeration servicing and detecting filter blockage.
