Introduction

The Fluke Calibration 7009 is a very precise constant temperature bath. An in-
novative state of the art solid-state temperature controller has been incorporated
which maintains the bath temperature with extreme stability. The controller
uses a microcontroller to execute the many operating functions.

User interface is provided by the 8-digit LED display and four key-switches.
Digital remote communications is optionally available with a RS-232 or
IEEE-488 interface.

The tank for the 7009 is stainless steel and holds 157 liters.
