FLUKE 62 MAX Infrared Thermometer
- Rugged, accurate, and built to last
The FLUKE 62 Max infrared thermometer is a compact and precise tool designed for safe, non-contact surface temperature measurement. Whether you’re an HVAC technician, maintenance engineer, or DIY enthusiast, the FLUKE 62 Max IR thermometer delivers fast, dependable readings in demanding environments.
Designed for Tough Conditions
With an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance and drop-tested from up to 3 metres, the FLUKE 62 Max infrared thermometer is built to endure. Whether you’re on a construction site or inside a boiler room, the thermometer infrared FLUKE 62 Max performs reliably and consistently.
Key Features and Benefits
- Temperature Range: –30 °C to 500 °C (–22 °F to 932 °F)
- Accuracy: ± 1.5 °C or ± 1.5% of reading (whichever is greater)
- Display: Backlit LCD screen for visibility in dim conditions
- Distance-to-Spot Ratio: 10:1 for focused measurement
- Laser Targeting: Single laser for accurate aiming
- Data Functions: Displays Min, Max, Average, and Difference values
- Alarms: High and Low alerts for out-of-range readings
- Power Source: Operates up to 10 hours on a single AA battery
- Portability: Lightweight and compact (175 × 85 × 75 mm; 255 g)
Understanding Distance-to-Spot Ratio
The distance-to-spot ratio (D:S) indicates the size of the area being measured from a specific distance. For example, with a 10:1 D:S ratio, measuring from 10 inches away covers a 1-inch area. The FLUKE 62 Max+ enhances this with dual rotating lasers that visually outline the spot, improving targeting precision.
Enhanced Laser Targeting with the 62 MAX+
The FLUKE 62 Max+ IR thermometer includes dual lasers that define the measurement area’s edges, giving users better visibility and control. This makes it easier to avoid false readings, especially when working at a distance or aiming at small targets.
For tasks requiring greater accuracy and range, the FLUKE 62 Max+ is an ideal choice. For general applications, the FLUKE 62 Max infrared thermometer offers excellent value and dependability.
