Fluke Infrared Thermometer

The Fluke 62 MAX+ Handheld Infrared Laser Thermometer delivers the accuracy you need in an extremely rugged package.

Just point, shoot, and read the temperature of many types of equipment. Get accurate readings from transformers, motors, pumps, panels, breakers, compressors, ducts, steam lines, valves, and vents. The IR thermometer’s small size and versatile features make it extremely easy to use. Plus, the lightweight form factor clips comfortably to your tool belt or belt loop, or easily fits in your toolbox. The 62 MAX+ offers a wide variety of features to take measurements quickly:

• High and low alarms for the rapid detection of measurements outside the limits
• Displays Min/Max/Avg/Dif
• The minimum, maximum or average temperature, or the difference between two measurements
• Easy to read, even in dark areas with large, backlit display
• Works in every place you need to go

The 62 MAX+ is rugged enough to take a three-meter drop – good news if you work from a ladder. Dual lasers help you target your measurement; the 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio helps get the reading you want. With its IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, you can rely on the Fluke 62 MAX+ to provide extremely accurate temperature measurements, rain or shine, even in dirty and dusty industrial sites.

Q&A

How does this infrared thermometer work?

The thermometer detects infrared energy emitted by an object’s surface and converts it into a temperature reading. It uses a laser sight to help target the measurement area and displays the result digitally, letting you read temperature without touching the object.

What temperature range can the Fluke 62 MAX measure?

It can measure temperatures from approximately -30 °C up to 500 °C (‑22 °F to 932 °F), covering a wide variety of industrial and mechanical applications. 

How accurate is this infrared thermometer?

The thermometer typically provides accuracy of ±1.5 °C or ±1.5 % of the reading (whichever is greater), with slightly wider tolerances at extreme low temperatures. 

What is the “distance‑to‑spot” ratio and why does it matter?

The device has a 10:1 distance‑to‑spot ratio, meaning at 10 cm away it measures a spot about 1 cm in diameter. Higher distance‑to‑spot ratios allow you to measure temperatures from farther away with a smaller effective spot size. 

Is the Fluke 62 MAX rugged and suitable for industrial use?

Yes. It’s built with an IP54 rating for resistance to dust and moisture and can withstand a 3 m (9.8 ft) drop onto hard surfaces, making it durable enough for jobsite use. 

What additional features does it offer?

It includes a backlit display for easy reading in low light, and can show min, max, average, and differential temperatures. It also has high/low alarms to alert you when temperatures are outside set limits. 

What powers the infrared thermometer?

The unit is powered by a single standard AA battery, which provides roughly 10 hours of battery life with the laser and backlight activated.
