The Neoptix HandyFlex™ offers impressive versatility. Battery operated for maximum user freedom, this single-channel instrument allows you to move freely from one area to another to measure temperatures at various critical sensing points.

The HandyFlex large red LED display provides Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature readings that are easy to view in low-light areas. Display intensity automatically adjust to ambient light conditions. The 6 key, user friendly keypad lets you control all operations, including startup, temperature recording, reading printout, changing time and date, and capturing a reading while recording fast-changing temperature conditions. This multi-purpose instrument also comes with a built-in RS-232 interface to be used for remote interfacing. The instrument is also a perfect match with the optional Neoptix™ Assistant™ control PC software.

The HandyFlex runs on rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries or auxiliary alkaline battery backup, providing power for at least 10 hours of continuous use.

Part of Neoptix’s complete line of fiber-optic thermometers, this sturdy instrument has been used for more than 10 years in a variety of fields, for a wide range of industrial and research applications, such as hot spot monitoring inside power transformers during manufacturing and heat runs. It has also been used in various high voltage applications and MW/RF heating applications.

Its accuracy and high degree of sensitivity to temperature changes, as well as the selection of probe models available, make it a natural choice for a wide variety of applications. Moreover, the Neoptix™ sensors are interchangeable and no calibration or inconvenient gage factors are required when changing sensors.
