Selling the next generation of
Fluke Laser Distance Meters
1 Laser distance meter basics
Laser distance meters emit laser light waves and measure their reflection to determine distances.
Laser technology is the fastest, most accurate way to measure long distances – up to +/- 1mm over
distances as far as 100 meters (330 feet) – far beyond the limitations of tape measures.
2 When to measure with a laser distance meter
Laser distance meters satisfy a huge range of applications across a broad base of users.
Here are a few examples.
Building and construction: Used for ceiling tile layout, vent and duct installation, wire layout,
or electrical panel clearance
Industrial maintenance, installation and repair: Used for shop and cell layout, machine
clearance, or installing vents and ducts or and insulation
Professional Services: Used for office, computer room, or warehouse layouts, inventory or
electrical panel clearances
3 The Fluke laser distance meter value proposition
Now all types of users can reach beyond the limitations of the common tape measure to measure
further, with great accuracy in more situations.
The Fluke family of laser distance meters offers features and functions that are equal to or better
than competitive laser meters at very competitive prices.
But no other laser distance meters offer the Fluke accuracy and rugged reliability that professionals
trust.
